We are moments away from the historic climate change meetings in Copenhagen, Dec. 7-18. Our own future and the very lives of millions of people in the Southern Hemisphere are at stake.

Real progress is possible – just a few days ago, it was looking pretty hopeless, with world leaders saying they wouldn’t even turn up in Denmark. But thanks to our persistent chorus of global voices urging action, now they’ll all be there, including Prime… Continue

End Child Poverty in Canada!

Make Poverty History

...to finally end Child Poverty in Canada! We're already 9 years behind schedule. Why should 637,000 Canadian children have to wait a minute longer?

It's time to act on Child Poverty

On November 24, 1989 Canada's House of Commons passed a resolution to end child poverty in Canada by the year 2000. Yet almost 1 Canadian child out of every 10 still lives in poverty - in one of the richest countries in the world. Shockingly, these figures don't even… Continue

A Question To Stephen Harper

I just saw a commercial with Stephen Harper sitting by himself talking about his son and how much he loved being a father.

My question to Stephen Harper.

Why are children in Canada still living in poverty? There are millions of fathers and mothers just like you who love their children more than life itself. In their eyes all children are equal, being such a loving father how can you allow any child to go hungry. Why was Campaign 2000 put into place and not… Continue

Canada dragged its feet at the G8!

The G8 Summit is wrapping up in Japan, with little progress on poverty, climate change, or the food price crisis, and Canada is partly to blame.

The final commitments of the G8 leaders recycle old promises, and sadly Canada did its best to block bold action.

Are you as disappointed as I am? Take a moment to let the Canadian government know how you feel

While European Leaders pushed for substantive action on climate change, Canada dragged its feet. Our… Continue
