Independent As A Pig On Ice--George MacMinn

"It is usually said democracy is fragile--but it is not. It is strong. It prevails at the end of the day, and that is what is important." George MacMinn, Clerk of the BC Legislative Assembly

"It is usually said, 'oh, he's just a politician'--that is unfortunate. You and I need to be ambassadors for the system, not party lines, not politics." George MacMinn

"Although I've been here a long time, I've never become cynical. Be firm in your support of your system as we are in ours." George macMinn

Mr. MacMinn talked to a small group of Washington Interns, including myself, a few months back when we visited their Parliament in Victoria, British Columbia. He is an absolutely fantastic individual whose passion for government is undeniable, and his service to his country worthy of admiration.
