Day 5 - the last day of convention (and the first day of our trip home)

I have to admit, this convention was not as bad as I was expecting it to be. It was actually very interesting and informative. Despite there being over 2000 people it never felt overwhelmingly crowded, which is what I was worried about. I'm glad I went.

The flight from Montreal to Winnipeg was fine, but then the Air Canada computers went down and we were stranded in the Winnipeg airport. At about 1:30 a.m. they cancelled the flight, and sent us to a hotel.

Our last speaker, Jack Layton, leader of the NDP.
