Of course weed is on there. FFS, Trudeau. :-\

Can you imagine that that issue is on the top priorities and not reuniting spouses and families? As if we need more weedheads?

When I submitted, it tried to re-direct me to a donation page. I wish I had of known it was a money grab -- I would have asked for proceeds!

After I submitted I closed the page. They are already getting "donations"--our taxes. :

tweet at @justintrudeau to remind him of his broken promises. be sure to include @cpc_hq in the tweet so the conservatives are aware of this and so that they can put Mr Justin Selfie and John McGollum on the spot when parliament resumes.

We do not need what is left of the Conservatives. They were not pro-immigration anyways. We, the people, can light our own fire. We can also utilize our MPs.

I urge all the forum members send a request asking the Liberal government to keep their promise.

If this topic is not pinned, people should paste the link into their visa office forum, if there is one.

Submitted and my spouse said he'll do the same. If there's at least 0.01% chance it'll make a difference, it's worth five minutes of my time.

as much as i disagree with the conservatives, the only reason i'm involving them is so that they can put pressure on the liberals. the liberals may not listen to us now that they've got their votes, but they will respond to criticism from their opposition because they care about their public image.

If you recall #elbowgate, the pressure really doesn't go anywhere. Direct action (emailing the PM's office and contacting your MP) is the best method to get an answer. If they do not service your request, then they can be thrown out of office.

Sorry, but I actually already wrote to the PM, Minister McCallum, and 3 MPs including my own - with no responses from any of them. The only thing I got were acknowledgement messages from some interns working at the MP's offices. There wasn't even as much as an acknowledgement from the PM and John McCallum's offices by the way! I honesty don't think these officials even realize which issues matter the most to their constituents when our messages just fizzle out at the first base.

Mind you, I didn't just write emails. I also sent postal mails to all of the above, and then followed up with faxes. Last time I checked, nobody got thrown out of their office.

lol, i've gotten a ton of downvotes since i started commenting in this thread. seems there's quite a few people smitten by Mr Justin Selfie that can't stand me questioning his integrity.

you have a point, but i just get the impression that even if we were to contact them directly, they would not bother responding unless they were under the public spotlight. having their public image threatened is pretty much the only thing that seems to stir them into action.

Do not be so quick to dismiss this persons point about using the conservatives. While they are in no position to talk about their record they are the best hope for keeping the liberals accountable for their promises. Sometimes hypocrisy can be in your favor. After allowing so many refugees in the liberals do not want to look like they are keeping families apart.

couldn't have said it better myself.

for example, does anyone remember this news story about the DND spending $6.4 million on renovating army bases that were meant to temporarily house Syrian refugees? it turns out the bases were never used, and it was members of the conservative opposition that brought this to light and grilled McCallum and Sajjan over it. we all know it's actually a smear campaign under the pretense of keeping the liberals accountable for their promises, but hey, i could care less about what their true intention is as long as it keeps the liberals on the right path. we don't have to like the conservatives or agree with what they've done in the past; we're only using them to achieve our own goal, i.e. pressuring the new government into fulfilling their promise of speeding up family reunification.
