"Rail for Toronto" BBQ with Jack Layton
In my email today:
Hey Toronto New Democrats,
Tired of John Baird and the Harper Government dismissing the needs of major municipalities like Toronto? Enjoy BBQs? Then we have an event for you.
On Friday, July 31st, come join the Beaches-East York NDP for a BBQ around the issue of federal funding for municipal infrastructure and transit, featuring Jack Layton! As well as discussing important issues facing Toronto, the event should be a great time, so feel free to bring out the whole family. The festivities are taking place at 9 Neville Park Bvld., right at the end of the 501, and are starting at 6:30.
There will be a $10 admittance charge ($5 for kids) covering burgers, hot dogs and pop, and there will be beer and wine available. Chicken and vegetarian options will also be available. Any profits will go to the Beaches-East York Federal NDP Riding Association.
Please RSVP to beyndp@gmail.com if are thinking about attending, as it will help us know the appropriate amount of food and beverages to have. Also check out the event, and sign up, on Facebook. We look forward to seeing you there!

Canada Replaces US as Worst Climate Performer!
This made the news headlines, and landed in my inbox from the WWF:
Oh Canada! Our Country Earns Failing Grade on Climate Change Action
For the first time, Canada has taken over last place from the United States in this years G8 Climate Scorecard rankings! This comes just as the G8 nations are set to meet next week in Italy in an effort to find solutions to the world's main issues, including climate change.
According to the report, developed by WWF and the global insurance company Allianz, the United States rose in the rankings due to recent actions taken by the Obama administration on green energy and vehicle fuel efficiency. Canada ended up at the bottom of the pack because our greenhouse gas emissions are not only still increasing, thanks in large part to the expansion of the tar sands, but also because we lack a credible plan to reduce emissions in the future. Learn more about Canada's climate performance by downloading the report.
