Elizabeth May on The Big Picture

My mom is in town for a few days. She had to come in for an eye appointment and is staying for the weekend to attend a Kairos event. (Their current campaign is called Water: Life before Profit)

So my mom went for lunch with some old friends, one of whom said that Elizabeth May was great on The Big Picture the other day.

Now, the thing about having a public blog is that it's public. So if someone from HelloCoolWorld wanted to contact bloggers who might be interested in seeing Elizabeth May on The Big Picture, they would likely find me. And they did. Chrissy did.

To tell you the truth, I almost deleted the email because the subject line was "Chrissy has sent you an email!" so I assumed that it was spam. My public email address is a yahoo address, and I like to go through my email one by one. Yahoo has a feature where instead of the "delete" button you can hit the "spam" button and it will give you a little message that says "Thanks! Every message you report helps SpamGuard perform better." And I get a great sense of satisfaction hitting the spam button. Although sometimes the email builds up and I have to just do a mass delete of what I'm pretty sure is spam.

Chrissy also told me that "The CBC is also linking blogs that are talking about the show to their blog trakker, should you be interested." Well, I don't really have time to look into that, but good for them.

For those of you who, like me, missed the show, it is being rebroadcast on Newsworld on Sunday, October 1 at 7 PM Eastern. I am going to tape it so I can fast forward through Glen Murray. I heard he rambled and rambled and said nothing, which sounds about right.

I am still completely disgusted that Paul Martin appointed Glen Murray to the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy after the Standing Committee on the Environment voted against it. Bob Mills and Nathan Cullen were both against the appointment.
