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.

My question to Stephen Harper.

Why are children in Canada still living in poverty? There are millions of fathers and mothers just like you who love their children more than life itself. 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

Are you as disappointed as I am? Take a moment to let the Canadian government know how you feel

While European Leaders pushed for substantive action on climate change, Canada dragged its feet. Our… Continue
