Emily Berrigan, Political Whirlwind

Peterborough Green Party of Canada Candidate Emily Berrigan must dream political dreams at night. (Does she count political sheep as she tries to fall asleep?)

It's the only way she can possibly have time to come up with all these great ideas -- and do all the things she's already doing.

• She's in the running for a spot on the 2009 season of the reality TV show Canada's Next Prime Minister. You can check out her video, which spells out her vision for Canada, on the site.
• She's launching the Peterborough Chapter of Fair Vote Canada.  (Of course, I'm getting involved. Surely you are, too.)
• And, of course, she's the Green Party of Canada Candidate for our Riding. Etc. Etc. Etc.

In a town that has more than its share of political dinosaurs/neanderthals, it's so refreshing to have Emily speaking the language of political change. Go, Emily, Go!
