A member of Canada's social democratic party known as the New Democratic Party or NDP. Thanks to the Liberals droppping the ball the NDP is now the main opposition party. The thing is that I personally knew many of these people and they were a very decent lot.

I was a member of the Conservative party a the time and had great rapport with my Member of Parliament, Walter Baker. That was when it really was a conservative party, before it merged with the Reform party - a bunch of Republican wannabees.

Sadly Walter died prematurely shortly after I came down here. My ex said thay called the house looking to see if I would run for Walter's seat. Just as well else I would be a part of the remnant of the Conservative Party that said "Hell no, we won't merge."

In 67 was pissed because the family just had move from Monterey Country Ca to BFE. To the family farm in a little bofunk town in IL. Boy was I teenager out of place there! Guess it started back then now that I think of it. Missed all the fun it seems.

But was glad when my Father made it home from Vietnam that earlier that same year.
