Provincial Campaign Update

July 18, 2007.



The campaign is off to a great start. We are involved in the uranium
exploration in North Frontenac, and Arif has made good contacts with the
CAW local at Hershey's and opened up some exciting prospect for
producing fair trade chocolates and workers ownership of the factory.
We will keep you posted on developments. The link between uranium
mining and nuclear power has been well received. I have been impressed
at the strength of opposition to nuclear power. Jack Layton's Press
secretary came to the Algonquin blockade of the mine exploration site
and offered the parties support.



HELP NEEDED

We need volunteers to help in three main areas over the summer:



* Write and produce literature. We have a volunteer who is going
to do layout, but proof reading and input are needed;
* Going to fairs, either with the candidate, or to sit at a table
with NDP literature and talk to anyone interested; and,
* Helping with phoning members and contacts.



If you can help with any of these, or would like to help out in any
other way, drop a note or call 613-374-5211.
