25. What do we care about? Some contrasting thoughts.

26.  “On Facebook, we post pictures to represent ourselves: our best, shiniest, toothiest, happiest, ponderer/wanderer/adventurer. The fairest ones of all. Or we post some other person or object as icon. Puppy, baby, six- year old self. The poor person’s version of identity airbrushing. To deepen the portrait, we post our status, likes and dislikes – bananas, skiing, taxes – and photo albums of grand vacations, graduations and celebrations. To our walls we announce opinions, as they come. What we find good, stupid, and evil”.-Jason Goroncy  Conclusion?  We make life all about US

Hope and optimism have defined my political career, and I continue to be hopeful and optimistic about Canada. Young people have been a great source of inspiration for me. I have met and talked with so many of you about your dreams, your frustrations, and your ideas for change...

40. Remembering Jack Layton ... More and more, you are engaging in politics because you want to change things for the better... As my time in political life draws to a close I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world.

42. Remembering Jack Layton  I believe in you. Your energy, your vision, your passion for justice are exactly what this country needs today. You need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future”.
