Defend assault on Canadian environmental laws and NGOs

Many NGOs in Canada, and some in the US, are today "blacking out" their websites in defense of Canada's precious ecosystems which are under assault from draconian new regulatory changes embedded in the latest Canadian federal budget. The changes will allow extractive industries to plunder Canadian resources at will, virtually unfettered. Canadian NGOs are also being stripped of their non-profit status using spurious accusations that they are "too political" (The IPPNW Canadian affiliate - Physicians for Global Survival being one such.)

Today's Speak Out action includes an on-line petition and other actions of solidarity.

Right now, Parliament is pushing through a bill to weaken many of the country's most important environmental protection measures and silence the voices of all Canadians who seek to defend nature. Today it's our voice; tomorrow it could be yours. Read more here.
