WAKE UP CANADA!

I'm not an economist or a politician or an expert on budgets, but I still knew that Bill C-38, which aims to change over 70 laws in one omnibus bill, was bad for many Canadians...and boy, was I right! After doing some reading, from sources all over the place, it is clear that the Conservative Government is trying to pull one over on us and we should be ashamed for how little we all seem to care!

Now, while there are some positive changes in the bill, there are also many, many negative ones - too many for me to list. It is important to note that these many issues include negative changes to laws concerning the environment, charities, fisheries, equal rights for women and minorities, pensions and so much more.

Unfortunately, this bill is likely going to pass this week, but this goes to show that the time for apathy needs to be over! Our Government is sneaking sweeping changes in right before our eyes and as many have pointed out, no one seems to care. WAKE UP CANADA!

For a more robust list, read Linda Leon's letter to her MP. Or, to read more about this bill, check out the following:
