BMD crunch time

[Scape]

The following is a letter I received from Mel Hurtig. Looks like this is it:

It's coming down to crunch time.

The Liberal convention in Ottawa March 3-6 will tell the tale. It could go either way.

The federal Quebec Liberal caucus is opposed to Canada signing on to the Bush BM"D" plans and so are the Quebec federal Liberal party, much of the federal women's caucus and the B.C. Liberal youth wing.

When motions come to the convention floor, they will put up a good fight. This said, the cabinet, the parliamentary secretaries and all the wannabes will vote to support the mad Bush/Rumsfeld plans.

It could go either way. If we win at the convention there is no way Martin can sign on. If we lose it's game over.

So, your job in the next few days!!!! The only thing that really influences those who will be attending the convention is the prospect that the Liberals might lose the next election. Since they are in a minority position, they are feeling much more vulnerable that normally from their lofty and usually arrogant majority position.

So, PLEASE, get to work. Contact as many delegates as you can, including MPs, Senators, riding officials, etc. Let them know IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that if they vote for the MD plans you and all your family and all your friends are going to go out in the next election and work as hard as possible to defeat the Liberal candidate in your riding. Scare the hell out of them!

Given yet another truly DUMB editorial in the Globe and Mail (January 25th) and the usual garbage in the National Post and some of the Asper newspapers, our job isn't easy. BUT, the polls clearly and consistently show that the strong majority of Canadians are with us.

If Martin goes against this strong and growing majority, he and the Liberals deserve to be punished. Let's make that clear to ALL the delegates at your local level.

NOW IS THE TIME to do this. In a few weeks it will be too late. We need strong, passionate letters and phone calls and visits to party and constituency offices AND MP's HOMES. Get the press to attend.

Let's not lose this. It's too important for the future of our country, for our children and our grandchildren.

This is going to be close and it has to be stopped now. This is a blank check we will be signing on to. Even if this system works and all the arguments against it were answered this is still something that should not even be considered unless we want to sign off on our country. On March 6th we will know if Canada will go out with a whimper or stand up and say enough!

I'll stand up and say, "Enough!"

My MP is already against BMD though, and not a Liberal either. Send you cards and letters to the party leaders and the independents too. Oh, and don't forget to send one to the PMO. Paul Martin's staff just love getting mail. ;-)
