Nothing local in the queue today, so here's something of national
interest:

I just sent a quick fax to Prime Minister Chr=E9tien, urging him to adopt
the Kyoto Protocol.

Last year, 170 countries finalized this international treaty, despite
strong U.S. opposition. Canada and the United States are now the only
G-8 countries that haven't committed to adopt Kyoto.

If you can, visit http://www.davidsuzuki.org to urge the Prime Minister
to support Kyoto.

Kyoto is the only global strategy to address climate change - the
world=92s biggest environmental challenge. Urge the prime minister to act
with Europe, Japan, and the overwhelming majority of countries around
the world in support of the Kyoto Protocol.

Thanks for your time,
~paul :)
