Have you all called your MP yet?
Edited on Mon Dec-01-08 02:23 PM by Lirwin2
I called mine (Paul Dewar) earlier today to let him know that I support the coalition. The woman answering the phone said that they're getting a lot of calls for AND against the coalition, so make sure you let them know where you stand!

2. Absolutely!

Mine is a conservative, Mike Wallace in Burlington. I've left messages on the weekend, and finally spoke to a woman in the office today. Of course, he's "busy" or scheming, as I called it.... and she can't tell me if he supports all the motions this Reform party has put forward.

I told her my biggest issue right now, is the pay equity for women. I also grilled her about how she can work for an MP who supports this. She was completely oblivious, of course.

So I may have pushed too far when I suggested she had no self respect nor any respect for women, to be a party to this kind of policy.

I also left a vmail for his Ottawa office. So far, no callback. Big surprise.

3. and may I add.....

I have also contacted the PM's office and the Governor General to voice my support for a coalition. I told her that we have a democratically elected body that is capable of governing on our behalf. Also, that Canadians should not be penalized another $300 million dollars due to lack of judgement from our existing PM.

I hope you will all email & phone in your support to the GG.
