Day 2
Well, 2 days down, and sometimes it feels like I barely got here, sometimes it feels like I've been here a week.
Today we had some great spontaneous supports of enthusiasm for all the candidates. Kennedy's got by far the most diverse collection of cheers, and we're going strong. Iggy's got a lot of people (but I seriously doubt this "1000 people" number you hear them try to quote is close to accurate.
Otherwise, nice to see that the new constitution passed and OMOV failed. I personally like the delegated system, and think that it's much better than OMOV.
And Paul's ceremony tonight wasn't bad. Nice to see that we didn'd decide to do every musician from the rest of the country, and it actually made it seem like Paul actually did stuff in his time (although our "enthusiasm" for the environment still seems a bit weird, definitely as well as the Elizabeth May "endorsement").
And in hospitality suites, Iggy's had the most free-flowing alcohol, but the Alberta delegation was pretty nice as well (Mmm, beef). Dion's seemed to be going well, with Trudeau and Holland working the floor for the parts we were there. Tonight's the big voting night, and when it all comes to a semi-end. The hospitality suites will be crazy, especially once numbers are released. Gonna be so good...

We are cheering for Gerard I can assure you.
I did think the delegate system was OK until now. These delegates are an embarassment and a joke. They don't attend votes on resolutions, they don't go to workshops and they acting like a bunch of junior high school kids at a pep rally - it's painful to watch when there are so many out there who would have liked to be delegates and do the job properly. And the worst, to treat Justin Trudeau as a rock star - oh please, give me a break.
I feel so let down as part of the 98% who could get out there.
I think things are going to have to change - this is totally UNACCEPTABLE.
Oh by the way, it might be a good idea to advise the Kennedy supporters to stop putting the "cancel your ballot and vote for Kenndey" on the internet - I mean, really, how stupid to let people know that Kennedy cheats.
