Sept 26 & 27
Day 21 - Monday Sept 26th
Early morning â delivered signs
9 am â left with a backpack full of postcards visited all of the 700 series polls in Hamilton Centre (health care, subsidized residence facilities and seniors residences). There are 33 in total! At some locations I handed over stacks of postcards. At other places I had to distribute â some buildings were huge including a 22 floor apartment building.
3:30 pm â finally sat down to eat something at Limoncellos on Ottawa Street. Nice spot.
Also browsed at a few antique shops on Ottawa Street, and said hello to Susie at Susieâs Slipcovers. Neat spot.
Evening â finished a local poll, delivered signs, dropped off postcards for other canvassers.
As always, responding to voice messages and e-mails throughout.
Today on the bike? 50 kms   Total campaign bike mileage to date: 485 km
 Day 22 â Tuesday Sept 27th
Morning â teach physics lab at Mohawk College
Drop off postcards on Hamilton Mountain â 4 hours
One superintendant tried to block me from entering. I reminded him that political parties are entitled by law to canvass and drop literature in all apartment buildings. The superintendant quickly obliged. Most must be aware that the penalties for obstructing political messengers are severe. I wonder why the paper and the mainstream media cannot be held to the same accountability?
Iâm getting tired of hearing about the âTop 3â parties only.
Itâs the leadership debate tonight. If Mike Schreiner was not a threat to every party, heâd be included. The fact is that he is⌠and thus his message is muted wherever possible.
Tonight attending âIgnite the Sparkâ (or something like that). An event organized by the AGH, and held at Mohawk college.
Today on the bike? 30 kms   Total campaign bike mileage to date: 515 km
