    Thanks for all the nice thoughts, there's going to be a run-off.
    Our union democratic structure demands a majority of 51% to win. With seven running that's not likely to happen so the result is that I and another candidate have to run against each other on Monday.

    So, now I have to find more pics and come up with a slogan/motto that will define and inspire. But I've spent over an hour on this forum so I best get to work....

    I wish you all the best in the election, but whatever the outcome, you already look like a winner!

    Well, I won and I'm feeling right chuffed about it. That's the Scottish word that encompasses, on the inside doing a happy dance, whoop and fist pump, and on the outside, the straight faced, hand shake and thank yous.

    Using my picture kilted was valuable on many levels: it stood out even though less than 10% of my posters had the kilted photo; it created discussion about Human Rights, to end harassment I can take my kilt off (oh, behave), most other cultures don't have that choice; and several people did say, in effect, that if you're tough enough to post a picture of yourself in a kilt, you're tough enough to do the job right.


    So, I now have a title, CAW Employment Equity Representitive.
