I agree. The stage is set quite differently this time around. The single best thing the public can do is write all MP’s – particularly Liberal MPs and those Conservatives who voted for bill C-251 in the last parliament.

TheDemos.ca has a handy letter-writing tool which makes it easy to blast out a message to certain MP’s and media. Start writing now.
