Canadian budget consultations

[robert1...@yahoo.ca]

All Canadian MPs have been instructed to go to their constituents to
elicit comments for upcoming budget deliberations.

Concerns: The Finance web site and deliberation questions seem fixated
on conventional stimulus incentives, and there's no way to actually
track and account the feedback being received. I couldn't get the site
to advance after ranking!

Opportunity: Let the feds know now is the time and opportunity to re-
structure for a no growth (or sustainable de-growth or a stable or
steady state economy), sustainable future with equitable wealth re-
distribution - caps on pollution and GHG emissions, work sharing and
GAI/BI, etc.

Message from Tony Martin follows. Please contact his office for
details on the coalition priorities, to book a time, or for additional
info. PS - remind Tony that bicycle "parking" is available at the
Northern Avenue entrance (but it's limited and poorly cleared at this
time of the year), and the bus stops on both Willow and Northern
Avenues via the Sault College/Algoma University route. :)
