I imagine that somewhere in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne, someone is kicking themselves. Maybe more than one.

This will hopefully be my last political post for a while. Hopefully.

Maybe you read the story, if not, after a recent recount, Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste finished ahead of incumbent Bloc Québécois candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné by one vote. One vote.

Now, I know there will be all kinds of conspiracy theory, and people asking, how is that even possible? I have no answer for the conspiracy theories, but as to the “How is that even possible,” questions. The answer is, why wouldn’t it be? That’s democracy in action. As far as anyone knows, it’s the first time in Canadian history that a federal riding has been won by a single vote.

But you know that there is at least one Bloc supporter who didn’t vote on election day, and now they are kicking themselves.

I have often spoken about the power of one, that it just takes one person to make a difference. Not just in the political arena, but in life. Each one of us gets to decide if we will be the person who makes the difference, or if we will sit on the sidelines and watch it play out?

Have a great week and remember: To see what is really possible, attempt the impossible.
