JCT: Sylvia Watson, the Toronto city councillor running for
Dalton McGuinty's Liberals lost a by-election to the NDP's
Cheri DiNovo, best of the bad, in the Parkdale-High Park
byelection in Toronto. The Liberal campaign included a
vicious smear campaign questioning the values of Ms. DiNovo,
a Christian minister. I noted nothing offensive and was most
impressed she admitted being in the drug culture of our
youth and other radical but righteous views. I'm only sorry
she feels shamed by the exposure.

Regardless, she won anyway. I guess no one else found her
speaking the truth about sore-spot issues so offensive
either.

Anyway, we've never had a provincial NDPer support social
currency. Once, in the 1997 Ottawa West federal general
election, the NDP candidate Wendy Byrne, Natural Law and
even Marxist-Leninist candidates joined the Abolitionist and
the Green to sign my petition for a Canada LETS. Do you know
any other ultra-capitalist gamblers who get invited to
Marxist-Leninist Party functions? Canada Greendollars, LETS
Timedollars, brings all these disparate philosophies
together.

With one NDPer having seen the CANADA LETS timebank social
currency light, DiNovo winning was the best of the bad. Will
there someday be a provincial NDPer to see the ONTARIO LETS
timebank social currency light? After reading some of her
statements, let's hope there's more ram in her than past NDP
sheep.

PS. No media reported how I did but I know my Guinness
record for most elections contested, 62, is now matched by
my record for most elections lost. Don't expect to find it
on the net, though, there's a blackout on Turmel that
reaches right into the Guinness Records. But 41 elections is
mentioned in the 1997 and 1998 editions only. Guinness was
originally published to provide info to settle bets. Not too
good at it, are they? Certainly not in their online
database.
