Join the 'Poster Posse' Sat Oct 4!
Do you have an hour or two this coming Saturday,? Let's meet up at 1:00 pm at the Rocket Fuel Cafe (Lakeshore/Islington) to split up into teams of two and put up MPH posters in the area. The businesses in the area are very receptive, it will be fun - but we need as many hands on deck... as possible to cover (hopefully) more ground.
-- Please email me at mph.etobicoke@gmail.com if you can join us!

It's a Canadian idea.
POINT SEVEN
Rich countries can easily afford to give 0.7% of the GNP to international aid. Pearson came up with it. Let's rally behind this great Canadian idea by getting the message to Ottawa that we want the Canadian government to commit to 0.7% aid.
MESSAGE TO HARPER
Help us send-off Prime Minist...er Harper to the upcoming G8 Summit in Japan with this message:
===================
GET TO THE POINT! ----> 0.7%
