Hello Friend, First of all, thanks so much to Pixie Hobby for writing to you yesterday about the need to ban the export of thermal coal. By the way, when I was at Sierra Club, Pixie was working as a Justice Department lawyer within Environment Canada. I am so proud she decided that, in her retirement, she should use her considerable brain and energies to the benefit of our shared work and the Green Party's growth. I want to make sure you noticed that the deadline for my parliamentary petition on banning the export of thermal coal is May 10! Please take a moment right now to sign the petition. We really need a big number of signatures before I present it in the House. As an example of a recent successful effort, Green MP Mike Morrice's petition to urge the government to fast-track the creation of a Disability Benefit had over 18,000 signatories by the time he presented it! The thermal coal petition has a couple of hundred right now, so please take a moment and sign it. The deadline is May 10! Then, please then send a note to the GPC ([email protected]) to let us know you have signed. While you’re here, I would be so grateful if you could also donate to our work. Our Earth Day challenge is still open, so please send us the signal that our work is supported. Thank you,
