Torbjorn's Blog

Provincial election in 2007 was my first run for a seat in the Ontario parliament, my candidacy only about turning up at a nomination meeting, there was four of us and the elected cnadidate informed us that she was not going to run and that we have find someone else. The meeting was held in a pub and over the next few hours the thre of them turn towards me and said, do you want to run, we have elected you the new candidate. Dosed by a few beers, I tried to get my brain to clear but somehow out of my mouth came, sure I do it.

Last year I was running in the Provincial election on the green party platform in Willowdale, on the Torontoist Liveblogs The Ontario Election website the blogist followed the election night hour by hour quote at "9:40 Great election names, volume 2: Torbjorn Zetterlund, of the Greens." at "9:58 Poor Torbjorn Zetterlund goes down to defeat. I was in your corner, Torbjorn" thanks I apreciate this. So what is in a name, what name is Torbjorn, it is a northern European name mostly used in Scandinavia. It is actually to names put together Tor Bjorn. Tor stands for the god of thunder in the viking mythology and bjorn in English means bear, so torbjorn in english would be thunderbear, a name that rings a acknowledgment amongst the natives in north America,
