With his unique position of global leadership, President Barack Obama has the ability to bring leaders together for a global solution. Can you add your name to our petition asking him to do… Continue

A Question To Stephen Harper

I just saw a commercial with Stephen Harper sitting by himself talking about his son and how much he loved being a father.

In their eyes all children are equal, being such a loving father how can you allow any child to go hungry. Why was Campaign 2000 put into place and not… Continue
