Two words: Cory Booker.
The man is a genius in terms of engaging people on a daily basis as mayor of Newark. His twitter feed is insane...people just saying hi, people asking about garbage pick up, people asking for help.
And he answers them all.
He's the mayor of Newark and I follow him in Vancouver. I don't even follow mayor moonbeam.
Now, its difficult to say that all politicians need to be like this, because you just can't find the 1000's of politicians that all have that same skill...and it takes away from those that do.
But I agree fully. Watching Mitt stick-up-the-ass Romney go up against Obama...well, shit son, I felt bad for the lil fella. I don't even care for Obama's politics, ideas or techniques...but I'll tell you...I like Obama. He's a cool guy.
And, big word that politicians in Canada need to learn...GENUINE.
And that doesn't just mean for 30 days before an election, and the week afater...it means every single day.
Isn't that what we all truly want? Be genuine. Tell the truth, do good things and be yourself.
My god..I hope Trudeau is listening to all this.
