I went and saw Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth today. I thought it was a well done documentary. Sadly, the message about global warming, while clear, is nothing new to me. The movie will most likely be seen by the masses who already believe and follow the "doctorine". Its also a little podiumish for Al Gore. Thats not doing him a disservice but it could be construed as a poster for Al Gore were he to campaign. Not that given the chance I wouldn't vote for him. That should not detract from the powerful message and the good work he is doing to make people aware of what is happening with Global Warming. The website for the film is also filled with helpful information in how to help combat global warming and inform others in what they can do. I strongly suggest either seeing the film or visiting the website.
On a more positive note, after the film we went up the road and had Mexican food at Las Margarita. I have to say one thing I love about eating out in Vancouver is that the service is almost always fantastic and should you have a query about the menu eg. "I was wondering if you could tell me how this is prepared and what this means" the waitress/waiter doesn't have to go check with the chef, they actually know their job. Also, table service for alcohol! Woo!
