Roadrunner commented on AALP's blog post AALP North American Study Tour – Detroit"Wow, I am glad you visited Detroit to see how different things can be across a river.
I am always amazed at how bad things have become for a lot of people in Detroit.
I wish them well in their renewal."
Roadrunner commented on AALP's blog post How important is the US to Canada? And vice versa. AALP Class 15 Study Tour Continues"Looks like a great trip.
Canadians know we have a significant economic relationship with the USA.
But in my experience, very few Americans know much about Canada or care to know.

Avia Eek said… - Thanks Roadrunner! Actually, this is really going to be an interesting election: 4 mayoral candidates (one has contacted me looking for support from the Farmers--too funny!); and there is competition in each of the Wards where the current councillors did not fulfill their role to the people of this Township as was expected. If the "right" people get elected on October 25, 2010, we'll have an amazing council--lots of "new" good people running!
