| Anger about auto insurance is probably the biggest cause for concern among 'ordinary Canadians' who don't have the time to learn and worry over other big picture items. In Ontario private auto insurance companies recorded a 637% (six hundred and thirty seven percent!) increase in profits over last y... |

Anything in a democratic country can be changed if the will of the people is behind it. (And their well being too especially)

| There are many people, unfortunately in all political parties (including the NDP unfortunately - re: previous BC NDP leader) who are interested in immediate personal gain from supporting pro-American policies. They do not see the long term picture, or they see it in a misguided way (and I'd debate a... |

| It is difficult to judge the promises of a party or leader who hasn't been in power. With Paul Martin and the liberal party this is not the case. Paul Martin presided as finance minister over a $100 billion tax cut that went in large part to the wealthy and to corporations. Meanwhile he kept $40 bil... |

| Very true what you say. Emails, phone calls, pressuring, is a good start. Puts the government on the defensive, and when they don't respond it will galvanize Canadians to take more action. Protests, rallies, real political movements are what we need at this point. These corporatists nearly have thie... |

| This is a great initiative, and hopefully will sway some opinions in Ottawa. My question is does this initiative intend to back a particular party that best represents the interests stated, or seek to form a political party of its own? I know this is a new creation, but is there plans for a website ... |

| Such a proposal is the kind of thing that needs to be discussed in parliament. It is a truth that trade laws and agreements are about as clear as Lake Ontario. I wish that Canadian politicians, bureaucrats and business leaders would be so rational as to put the interests of us, the citizens of Canad... |

| One possibility is that by the creation of grassroots, well-organized local parties. Large numbers of people can be reached who feel that their needs and concerns are being met. Which I feel is the natural desire for those who feel that they no longer have a choice in the current system. As an elect... |
