conversations.value: A. S. the author considers life an adventure and willingly admits that she often dances to a very different piper. She claims that motherhood is the biggest and most rewarding adventure of her life and she is proudest of the five wonderful people her children have grown up to be. But now that they are on their own and have presented her with twelve terrific grandchildren to spoil, she has spread her wings and flown as far as the South Pacific where she spent two years in the Peace Corps. Shes jumped out of perfectly good airplanes and earned a basic sky diving license, and she gets dressed up in the garb of an 18th century Spanish citizen to volunteer at the historic tavern in the oldest city in North America. Having been born and lived most of her life in New England, she is now a transplanted Yankee soaking up the sun, warmth and history of St Augustine, Florida where she lives with her furry buddy, MacDuff. She spends most of her free time writing novels, volunteering in the living history Spanish Quarter and walking on the beach. Besides her children and grandchildren, she loves traveling, chocolate, the ocean, anything that flies, reading, NCIS and history - not necessarily in that order.

conversations.value: The Candidate (Lost): After being successfully operated on by Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox), John Locke (Terry O\'Quinn) awakens at the hospital.\nJack tells Locke that he may be a candidate for a new surgical treatment to repair his pre-existing paralysis and asks Locke how he wound up in his paraplegic state.\nHowever, Locke declines the offer.\nIn order to find out more about Locke\'s paralysis, Jack visits dentist dr Bernard Nadler (Sam Anderson) and asks for the dental records from an emergency oral surgery performed on Locke about three years previously.\nBernard refuses to breach confidentiality, but tells him that a man named Anthony Cooper (Kevin Tighe) was brought in along with Locke three years ago.\nJack goes to a nursing home and visits Anthony Cooper, who is Locke\'s father in a vegetative state.\nClaire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) arrives at the hospital to see Jack.\nShe shows Jack a music box that their father (John Terry) said he especially wanted her to have.\nJack then invites Claire to come and stay at his house, stating to Claire that they are not strangers, but rather family.\nAs Locke is preparing to leave the hospital, Jack approaches him and tells him that he went to see Locke\'s father so that he could find out why he doesn\'t want the surgery.\nLocke reveals to Jack that the accident that made him paralyzed was a plane crash; he had just qualified for his pilot\'s license and his father was his first passenger.\nJack tells Locke his father is "gone" and that punishing himself won\'t bring him back.\nLocke still refuses Jack\'s offer and leaves.\nFollowing the events of "The Last Recruit", Jack awakens on Hydra Island with Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) by his side.\nThe Man in Black arrives and tells them that James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway), Claire Littleton, Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly), Frank Lapidus (Jeff Fahey), Hugo Reyes (Jorge Garcia), Sun Kwon (Yunjin Kim) and Jin Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) have been taken prisoner by Charles Widmore (Alan Dale).\nThe Man in Black plans to help them escape, run for the Ajira plane and leave the island before Widmore knows what is happening.\nWhile Jack agrees to help, he insists that he himself will not leave the island.\nAt Hydra Station, Widmore has Sawyer\'s group thrown inside the animal cages.\nSayid turns off the camp\'s generator, bringing down the sonar fences which had been keeping the Man in Black at bay.\nThe Man in Black then attacks as the Smoke monster, allowing Jack to free Sawyer\'s group.\nAfter reuniting with Sayid, they head into the jungle to find the Ajira plane.\nThe Man in Black arrives at the plane site before the group, and inspects the interior of the plane after killing Widmore\'s guards.\nThe Man in Black reveals to the group that Widmore has rigged the plane with C4.\nUnable to take the risk of using the plane, the Man in Black decides to escape using Widmore\'s submarine.\nAs they head to the docks, Sawyer asks Jack to stop the Man in Black from getting on board the sub.\nAt the docks, the survivors manage to board the submarine while Widmore\'s men attack from the jungle.\nKate is shot during the ensuing gun fight, but Jack manages to get her on board after pushing the Man in Black into the water.\nHe gets back out of the water and begins to shoot down the last of Widmore\'s men.\nIn order to prevent the Man in Black from entering, Sawyer has the sub take off without Claire.\nOn the sub, Jack discovers the Man in Black has planted the C4 in his bag and has set a timer to detonate.\nUnable to reach the surface in time, Sawyer attempts to defuse the bomb.\nHowever, Jack tells Sawyer to let the timer reach zero, believing that nothing will happen to them because the Man in Black is unable to kill them himself.\nJack theorizes that the Man in Black united the candidates because he needed them all dead in order to leave the island, and has come up with a plan that will trick them into killing one another by mistrusting each other.\nSawyer is unconvinced and pulls the bomb\'s wires, causing the speed of the bomb\'s countdown to accelerate.\nSayid tells Jack where to find Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick) and runs to the back of the sub with the bomb.\nThe bomb detonates, killing Sayid and causing a massive explosion that proceeds to flood the sub.\nFrank is knocked out by a door as it gives way to the water.\nSun is pinned down by fragments of the submarine.\nHurley exits the sub with a wounded Kate, while Jin, Sawyer, and Jack try to help Sun.\nAfter Sawyer is knocked unconscious, Jin convinces Jack to leave with Sawyer.\nJin continues to try to free Sun despite her pleas for him to go, but to no avail.\nHe tells Sun that he won\'t leave her.\nThey then embrace as water floods the submarine, drowning them while holding hands.\nJack, Sawyer, Kate, and Hurley regroup at a nearby beach, and mourn those who died.\nMeanwhile, at the docks, the Man in Black tells Claire that the sub has sunk and there are survivors.\nHe then departs to "finish what [he] started".

  Our constituencies were failing us, or we'd failed them, but we'd seen it coming—enough to make sure there was a deejay, a popcorn machine, boxes of pizza and an open bar, and to make sure that a couple of other NDP candidates sure to lose were able to feel good by being in the room with us, one of them with the campaign management team that was his mother and aunt. But, still, we'd not imagined this would happen. Maybe Janet had—drinking, uncha​racte​risti​cally, a second glass of red wine.
  Not yet nine, I stepped outside to call Carolyn Bennett and congratulate her. That's what a candidate does, no, or do we just see national leaders do that on TV?

conversations.value: The office was packed away. The computers and the telephones were unplugged, the polls behind what had been Phil's desk pulled down, the posters of Tom rolled up and the green folders and maps and data sheets packed into boxes. Julian had sent an email round to ask if anyone had a garage big enough to store 1,200 signs and I asked, "What for?"
  Said Sarah: "I think it's okay to show you Pratt's video now. We didn't want to before, because we knew you'd lose your shit."

  Saying Canada is a soft power and an honest broker and the habit doesn't have to be just military: saying that we are going to be the party that takes labour laws it has taken two centuries to arrive at and push them at the supranational level, fighting monopolies and cartels and corporations evading these laws

  Thank you to the staff, campaign and E-Day volunteers, and hosts and donors not just of my own run—but also to the impassioned, crazy lot across the spectrum and the country—that give in all sorts of ways when elections come around, and to Canadians for being interested, in 2015, in record numbers. There'd have been no candidates without you.
  I am a non-fiction writer and documentary maker by trade, and although in I borrow some of the techniques of the novelist, none of the dialogue in these pages is made up.
  I explained to a few people, such as one of my triad of campaign managers, that I would not share any pages or passages with them as they were still players in the game and thus likely (though not certain) to have an agenda. They were fine with that. To those whose first-person testimonies were included – it was always going to be important to me to illustrate that the candidate is but one of a team and certainly not the boss – I showed, for context, the pages preceding and following their kind contributions, as well as edits where I made them.
  To higher-ups in the NDP pecking order, I showed nothing. I'd signed no disclaimer when I started the campaign (and would not do so were I to run again), believing, as I still do now, that reporting these conversations is in the public interest and an example of the "transparency" and "accountability" politicians are in the constant habit of invoking. A number of these conversations are long and it would have been a singular fella capable of recalling them verbatim, but I did not have to: These conversations were either heard in company and can be seconded, or were recorded by me in notes or audio format, as the sensible person does anything in the ordinary course of life that may be actionable some day.
