Martha in Manitoba and Browners Bouquet - Jung Suk

Some of the reasons I appreciate Martha Hall Findlay so much is her desire to get things done and to work with people especially the grassroots Liberal who make the energy and substance of the Liberal Party. Her schedule since December 19th has been nothing short of herculean. Her earnest desire to consult, open minded approach to meetings and deep commitment to ensure a safe, new future course for the Liberal Party of Canada is refreshing. I look forward to seeing her in action here in Manitoba and to making sure as many people meet and discuss this with her. She will be here it looks like now Friday Feb 8 to Monday Feb 12 and then again for the Big Event Red and White Ball February 14. On the Red and White Ball I had discussed with her committee here in Manitoba about having a fundraiser to help her with the debt of leadership and we agreed we would like to support her that. After some back and forth discussions we have decided not to go ahead with it and instead we will help put our time and energy behind Don Beemer and his committee for the Red and White Ball. Politics and knowing when to say yes and no.
Leaf win last night AWESOME !!!Bob MacKenzie is saying that Stevie Y is going to be GM of Team Canada at the Worlds...nice to have Stevey Y still involved in our national game !! Should be a good learning experience for him and I hope the expectations are not too high to tarnish him for future help with Wayne and the Olympic team. Jets back in Winnipeg ? I like it - I love it - I want more of it !!!...lets get Chipman and Asper together and make it happen it is doable and we can sustain an NHL team.
Browners Bouquet this week to the National Guy for Martha - Jung Suk Ryu he is a one person team for an 8 person job, works 24-7 supporting the tour, has the tact and diplomacy of a 20 year veteran of the politics, deals with the sensitivities of Caucus and PTA's like a smooth flowing computer program and administers logistical support reflective of the "Big Red Machine of the 90's" - ALL of this with his gal back in Alberta and him in Ottawa - Thank you Jung Suk and thank you Alberta Liberals and Edmonton for producing such and astute and well versed guy !!!
