Dear David:

The hallways were abuzz today at the West End Seniors Activity Centre as seniors and their care workers/advocates watched me & the set up crew get ready IV tomorrow's IInd round of balloting in the PC Alberta Leadership Race. Its like the seniors were first time voting students as they asked me questions about the names of the remaining candidates & how the preferential ballot system worked. I mentioned they could mark the ballot "1" & "2" to indicate their first & second choices or just "1" if they felt they really had no second choice to vote IV. This just proves there are students of democracy at all ages!

Give Me The Ol' 1-2,

Rory
