jords on jords.

Politics has spoiled me. I’ve gotten to do some pretty incredible things in the past few years.  I’ve seen some places I wouldn’t normally have seen, met people who I never would have met, and have gotten to stand in the wings of some interesting moments in history.

Even though I thought I would hate it, this summer of not-working has been pretty fantastic.  I made it back out to British Columbia, couch surfed my way through a season, moved to Toronto, and was able to briefly pop down to New York to see my BFF before escaping the impending hurricane-caused ratpocolypse.  I also spent a lot of time sleeping, thinking, reading, and looking at things around me that I didn’t normally have time to see.  It’s amazing, the things you can do when you don’t have to do anything.

Here’s a paragraph about variations on a theme! Similar to when I decided to attend McGill, when I sold everything I owned on a Thursday to go work for Mr. Ignatieff on a Monday or when I said “sure, why not?” earlier this summer and moved to Toronto, it’s time for my next big adventure. On Saturday, I’m headed to Whitehorse, where I’ll be doing some work for the Yukon Liberals.

I should be back south of 60 sometime after the election, which has to be called by mid-October. Or I could decide I like it there and stay forever.  Opportunities like this, you’ve just got to grab them and see where they take you.  (Krista can probably tell you how obnoxiously, annoyingly, repetitively excited I am about all this.)

I’ll keep everyone updated via this blog and the occasional tweet. Please send me emails and stay in touch!
