NDP Leader Jack Layton's book on ideas to improve life in Canada is a shot of adrenaline. And I say that as a formerly driven, indeed obsessive, humming engine of a person who is now in such a slough of despond about politicians that her personal Contribution to Canada for 2004 was going to be finally labelling the damn fuse box.
I've been saying, "Call an electrician," for 15 years. Our attempts at labelling involve two married people racing between floors -- "the fridge is dead, I smell burnt almonds or is it ricin, omigod, it's the DVD" -- cursing, snarling, and finally I'm on the floor, twitching, while a male voice says soothingly, "Calm down. We'll call an election, I mean electrician." Victory!

Whelan,
Ended up it all got changed at the last minute and I ended up driving the CTV crew around instead in a rented vehicle. They were a great crew from Ottawa. When they went to the local CTV station here they let me go in to see how they do what they do.
There was some real positive feedback from these guy's. They actually said they were sceptical of Jack Layton in the beginning, but they believe he is truly genuine. They actually said he is the most compassionate politician they have ever met.
As for Jack Layton when he approached me to shake my hand and the local candidate Charlie Angus introduced him to me (with the media cameras) everywhere. I just drew blanks on what to say. All I said was my name is Kevin.
Afterwards he just sat at the local bar table and had a beer with everyone. He was dressed in his regular close.
