I believe that the environment and climate change are very important issues that need to be addressed in the upcoming Canadian federal elections. Please share the following information with as many poeple as you can."VoteForEnvironment.ca was designed by Canadians who believe what the vast majority of the world’s scientists have told us.

Alan Greenspan, the former US Federal Reserve Chairman, consistently opposed the oversight and regulation of financial contracts, known as derivatives, by the US Congress and regulatory institutions in the United States. On the other hand, American investor, Warren E. Buffett and American financial speculator, George Soros, do not like using derivatives in their businesses.As per the New York

Canadian immigrants come from various countries all over the world. They arrive from Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, Latin America, China, India, Russia, Israel and the Middle East. They come from poor and rich countries, peacetime and wartime countries, communist, socialist and capitalist countries. They may be victims of torture and persecution and they can also

Olivia Chow, the NDP incumbent for Trinity-Spadina seems to be intimidated by the Liberal challenger Christine Innes. Chow is federal NDP leader Jack Layton’s wife. Christine, a lawyer and community activist, easily won the all-candidates debate, that was held on October 6, 2008 in Trinity-Spadina.As one blogger noted, Olivia seems “terrified” about Liberal challenger Christine Innes.

Check out this blog http://wheresjack.wordpress.com/It seems that federal NDP leader Jack Layton is not even paying attention to his own riding Toronto-Danforth. Peter Tabuns was ejected from an all party candidates meeting when he showed up to debate in Layton's place.

The tit-for-tat continues during the US Presidential elections.Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani belittled Obama saying that he was just a "community organizer". So what is Giuliani implying?.....Last time I looked it was still an honest way to earn a living.....Hey, my daddy was among other things also a community worker.Palin, followed up with "I am just your average hockey mom" who became

Well the US elections are in full swing and things are heating up plus the name calling is getting louder. The Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin camps are trading insults. Push is coming to shove. Oh my!!!With respect to the "lipstick on a pig" comment, in her opening remarks of her convention speech, Sarah Palin said, "You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."

On Sunday, September 7, 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper pulled the plug on his government, Canada's 39th Parliament. The Federal National Elections will be held on October 14, 2008, which is the day after the Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada. Personally, I am not too happy going to the polls again so soon. This will be the third election in four years, and who is paying for all this - well

Well, now is the perfect time to start a political blog. I could not resist the siren songs any longer, and decided that there was no time like the present to start this political blog. Currently, we are living in a dynamic era of change. We have the American elections heating up and also hints that the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will call a federal election this coming Sunday.In
