<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif">I agree with the Leap document as well; it doesn't provide all the answers, but to me it is about starting and engaging people in conversations about a future that is fundamentally different. There are some bold imaginative ideas for sure, but I believe the documents strength is how broad it is. It allows a group such as Bike Winnipeg to be inspired by it and become part of a larger conversation on the bigger question which I believe is - "how do we get to a future where humankind is more ecologically in-tune with the life support systems that earth provides?"</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif">If we can all agree that as a fundamental principle we need to improve our relationship with the planet, and by extension each other, then the question really shifts to "how does biking fit into a shared vision for a future that is fundamentally different? To me, this is a question that we can tackle.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 9, 2016 at 10:53 AM, Kaye Grant <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kayegrant@shaw.ca" target="_blank">kayegrant@shaw.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-CA" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I think you all know that I am in agreement with Ian on this. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Kaye <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> Policy [mailto:<a href="mailto:policy-bounces@lists.bikewinnipeg.ca" target="_blank">policy-bounces@lists.bikewinnipeg.ca</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ian Walker<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, April 09, 2016 10:51 AM<br><b>To:</b> Bill; <a href="mailto:policy@lists.bikewinnipeg.ca" target="_blank">policy@lists.bikewinnipeg.ca</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Policy] Leap Manifesto<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p>I'm looking forward to having a conversation about it bill.
