I had a chance opportunity to speak with Derek today as he was out canvassing in the Ashby area. He definitely left a very good impression. We chatted for a few minutes, and I felt that I was speaking to someone who was contemplative, well spoken, and clearly well integrated into the political landscape here in Cape Breton. Derek shared some insights regarding a few questions I had. I felt his answers were concise, on the mark, and delivered with a tone of genuine goodwill. So I'm hopeful to continue following his campaign and learning more about his platform as we get closer to voting day. :)
