An election? Maybe a 3 ring circus?
On Iggy...He’s just not a stake holder. No property ownership in Canada, although a place in Provence, France. His wife, a nice lady is not a Citizen. And none of my biz – but they share no kids growing up and effected by the today and tomorrow of this country. So where’s his stake in the ground here? I like when Leader’s are also Stakeholders. And speaking of his wife – she says he sleeps well at night because he neither reads the polls, or listens to the news.... a man sensitive to his surroundings? Or, disconnected from his 'people'? As a Leader he wasn't even elected - more so the powers that ran the party anointed this fella. Why?
On the LayTon. Of course one of his issues about the ‘proposed budget’ was not enough affordable housing. In 1985 while earning an excellent salary as a Toronto City Councillor, he and Olivia, also earning an excellent public sector salary, took up residence in a housing cooperative subsidized by the federal government. Good to see that even back then he had a Federal leaning.
Lest you think me of narrow focus - read ‘their’ platforms not from this election – look at the past few. Our Leader Stephen wanted Senate Reform – until he got the right to “appoint”. He wanted transparency – until he read the Kings New Clothes.
Yes, please, let’s do another Stephen led minority – I’m just too scared of any one of them, or either ‘group’ of them having actual unfettered power.

My Smart-Phone is Rather Dumb
QR codes the newest shortcut to – "do i really have to remember that?"
While some are using these things in unbelievable ways, by for example synching your arrival at their web site to an expanded conversation about the magazine article that contained the QR code and landing you right there – not just a home page.
But instead, too many others are using QR codes and building lunch-bag letdown.
My phone, my smart-phone – gets the QR code right 1 out of 23 times on average – you’d better have something more exciting than your web site url in there....tell me, show me, lead me so that it takes me somewhere special, relational, relevant to who you are and what you do for me.
QR codes are a new form of shortcut – people take shortcuts to get somewhere good. Don’t disappoint with bland same old, same old....or you’re wasting an opportunity.
