If you are a "political" animal check out this site

I listened to several one minute speechs on CFRB talk radio this morning from Toronto Centre riding candidates for an upcoming by-election. One of the speakers, Liz White, caught my attention by the content of her message. Quite openly, she stated that Bob Rae would no doubt win the seat as a Liberal, but that you could still send a message to the politicians regarding the plight of animals (domestic and wild) and our environment. The party is called Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada. This is a link to their site; I think their platform merits some attention. There were two points that surprised me (but then I'm not politically savvy): In Canada, (1) our humane laws with concerns to wildlife and domestic stock have not been amended in over 100 years and (2) our environment record is one of the worst in the world, especially the tar sands in Alberta.

I will look into this deeply as it has piqued my curiousity and I need to know.
