Re: Raptors Community Thread
Damn that's rough man.
I need to find an article on the internet that shows a citizen(s) who has made some sort of influence on the policies of their government.
Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Raptors Community Thread
Turk-
Try Jeffrey Sachs. He is the UN Ambassador to Koffi Anan for the Millenium Project. You might have heard of him, he has a book called "The End of Poverty", Bono wrote the preface.
In Canada, you could focus on the leader of the marijuana party and the lobbying that they have done to help it become legal for medicinal purposes.
Or you could go old school and try John Meynard Keynes, who influenced economic policy in the 50s to help government get out of the rut caused by WW2.
PS - 4 years of Western taught me that September is the best time of the year, followed by the rude awakening of Thanksgiving and the realization that you have to get your ish together. Good luck fellas... and give me a shout if you need any more help with the Poly Sci stuff, i've done a lot of it.

Dipper Jack Layton and his $4.6 Billion Budget social goodies that altered the last Martin Liberal Budget in order to avoid another disasterous election.
Then there's Sponsorship Scandal whistle-blower Allan Cutler, the civil servant who tried to stop the corruption in the government, and together with Auditor General Sheila Fraser caused the Liberal government to call the Gomery Inquiry that will change govt policy for contracting advertising to stop further corruption and criminality.
Maybe that's not the kind of policy influence you are looking for ... maybe you want something more in the social vein and not complicated fiscal matters that affect taxpaying Canadians.
How about Svend Robinson and his private member's bill C-250 which is now law. Then there is SSM in TO ... somebody is responsible for that ... ??!!!
Hope that helps ...
