Election in Canada ~
devastating our climate, there is one website that is a must-see before
election day on Tuesday:*
VoteforEnvironment.ca
This outstanding website gives each of us a clear, fact-based analysis of
whether we live in one of the ridings that will decide this election, and if
so, which candidate can best defeat the Conservative. *Take just 20 seconds
to visit the site, type your postal code in, and find out.*
Especially If you live in or near Southern Ontario, Vancouver, Ottawa,
Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Central Nova, or Gatineau, or you know people
that do, *then consider forwarding this email to everyone in your address
book*. Already over 350,000 Canadians have visited VoteforEnvironment.ca in
just the 2 weeks since it launched, and many of those people are coming
together across party lines and voting strategically to stop Harper as a
result. Let's get that number to 1 million before election day!
If you've already visited VoteforEnvironment, *click below to make a

spread the word further in these last crucial 2 days:

Avaaz has no formal affiliation with VoteforEnvironment, it's just a great
tool for us to consider our options as voters. The site works from the
latest polling to show that *if we all voted strategically, the outcome
would decimate the Conseratives in Parliament, cutting their number of seats
in half, the NDP would rise to 50 seats (its highest number in history), the
Liberals would replace the Conservatives as a minority government (or as
part of a coalition with other opposition parties), and the Green Party
would finally get into Parliament.*
Strategic voting means we might not get to express our first choice where we
live, but we do get to better express our choices as a country, and we get a
Parliament that looks more like the Canadian people. *Almost 70% of
Canadians don't want a Harper majority government, but our votes are split
among 4 opposition parties,* potentially giving Harper most of the seats in
Parliament! In most of the ridings, the races aren't close and we can vote
for whomever we want. But in the close races, strategic voting will decide
this election.
Stephen Harper's government has been voted worst in the world by
international climate experts after Harper blocked UN climate negotiations,
produced a fraudulent, do-nothing climate plan at home, deceived Canadians
about the responsible climate plans pushed by other parties -- and all this
has been just as a minority government! Any Canadian who cares about the
environment and the planet needs to visit VoteforEnvironment.ca before
Tuesday, and carefully consider the consequences of their vote, for Canada,
and for the planet. *VoteforEnvironment is just a tool, a useful piece of
advice for any voter, to take or leave. Let's try to make sure every
Canadian has that advice by Tuesday.*
