Like, wow, man. The NDP is really "jacked in" to this Internet thing. They've got some hep cats writing for the youngsters on what they call "blogs."

Heeeeeeerrrrrreeeessss . . . Tiffany!

I wish every New Democrat could experience the craziness and excitment of convention. So far my favorite moment today was during the Aboriginal Committee. We unanimous passed a motion to keep governments accountable for their promises and obligations by appointing a Parliamentary Commissioner to use international standards as a basis for regular public report cards on government conduct. There was a great feeling in the room of working together.

If that doesn't set your pulse racing, I don't know what will.

I just spoke with this cool woman from Surrey, BC. Her name is Melissa and she works for NDP MLA Bruce Ralston. We were surprised that so many issues that we thought were only important to us were also being talked about by delegates from across the country. Things like the homelessness crisis and child poverty. She's so passionate about these issues that it gave me chills.

Who would have dreamt that the NDP, of all parties, would discuss such things? I'm getting chills, too!

No, wait. It's just my flesh crawling.
