I went to the rally today at Queen's Park. Unfortunately there wasn't as great a turn out as Washington- not even close. I think 15,000 people showed up in Washington.
Anyway, there's supposed to be a budgetary meeting in the house of commons this Tuesday, May 2, at 4pm. Jack Layton and other speakers today are encouraging anyone who cares about the situation in Darfur to contact your local MP or even Stephen Harper, if you have his number, and pressure Parliament so they at least don't have to cut the food rations.
The World Food Bank is being forced to cut food rations because Canada and other countries have cut funding to Darfur.
I hope some of you will will contact your local MP and say something before Tuesday. I know I will.
