Building Canada's Power

  Dear Friend, When we asked what "nation-building" means to you, something remarkable happened. "A sustainable electrical grid east to west." "National hydro- and wind-powered electrical grid." "We should be planning for a clean energy future." Response after response painted the…

ACTION ALERT: Senate Takes Up Bill C-5 Tomorrow—Speak Out!
