Hey,

I just sent Stephen Harper a message asking him to go back the drawing board and get Canada a real plan to stop climate change. Climate change is scary and it's amazing how little Canada is helping - and how much it is hurting - efforts to stop it. Here's an email with some more info below that is asking hundreds of thousands of Canadians to send a message to Harper, let's do something about this!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear fellow Canadians,

Wow - this week, the press reported Al Gore calling the Harper government plan on CO2 emissions "a complete and total fraud…designed to mislead the Canadian people". Last November, Canada also received the international "Fossil Award" for misleading countries and quietly undermining international efforts at the climate negotiations in Kenya.

Canada? Misleading people and undermining the world's efforts to save our children's futures and stop deadly flooding, storms, desertification, diseases? This isn't our country, not one bit, and we need to let our Prime Minister know which country he's leading, and remind him that he works for us. Please click below to send a message directly to Stephen Harper asking him to come up with a real plan on climate change:

Will the Prime Minister do the right thing this time? It's an election year and he has a minority government. If he knows he can't fool us with a fake plan, he'll have to meet our demand for a real one that doesn't put Canada almost 20 years behind schedule on our Kyoto treaty targets.

We'll need one heck of a flood of messages to get him to finally listen. But Avaaz has over 100,000 members in Canada. If each of us can respond to this message, and then forward this email to a few friends, that's going to add up fast, maybe even to the number of voters that tipped the balance for Harper in the last election. That's a number he'll notice. Oh Canada, let's do it!
