I got a dream job as the Ontario Regional Coordinator (Coordinatrice régionale d’Ontario) of the Strengthening the Kyoto Generation Project (Soutenir la génération Kyoto) of the Youth Environmental Network (Réseau environnemental des jeunes). Is that a long official title or what?

My brother Alan Smith and his friend, Pat, made a brilliant online project entitled “The Undecided”. The project is designed to help young Canadians choose a political party to vote for this election season. I went through the website and figured out that I’m 85% NDP. Surprise Surprise.
