Canadians support action on climate change

This link will take you to an article by Stephen Leahy at Common Dreams. It demonstrates that a large majority of Canadians want action on climate change, while the government is doing everything it can to maintain the status quo. A good balanced perspective.

Chantal Hébert - Anger is engagement

This link ( http://www.hilltimes.com/page/view/voters-11-01-2010 ) will take you to an interesting article by Alice Funke about a speech given by Chantal Hébert. In her speech, Chantal suggests that voters are angry with the status quo in politics in general, and that this anger is itself a form of engagement that could affect the outcomes of elections to come. Well worth the read.
