Dear Gordon:
One of my greatest regrets in life was running for public office under the Progressive Conservative banner under then leader, Former Prime Minister Joe Clark. I ran b/c the Tory Party was the party of Sir John A. Macdonald, my favourite PM, but in MM (2000) it just didn't feel I should be running federally. While I got MMMIX (3,009) votes & IIIrd place, I certainly didn't belong as a candidate. While I don't think that I belong in an elected position federally, Prime Minister Clark talked to young Canadians about the value in working IIgether as a team to make this great Dominion stronger & maybe run for office themselves.
"I do more than reflect & respect this country, I fight for it...the question for Canadians is "Can we win?" Yes we can win except when we are fighting ourselves!"
"The Man From High River",
Rory
