      way
      things
      are
     
     
      done?
      Ready

      Well,
      if
     
     
      you're
      really
      mad
      enough
      to
      ‘rhyme'
     
     
      off
      your
      frustrations,
      maybe
      you

      This
      is
      an
      example

      This
      site
      was
      created
      for
      the
     
     
      Canadian
      populous
      to
      better
      interact
     
     
      with
      their
      government.
      It
      was
      driven
     
     
      and
      inspired
      by
      Denis
      Mills,
      Member
     
     
      of
      Parliament,
      and
      further
      developed
     
     
      by
      the
      Toronto-Danforth
      Federal
     
     
      Liberal
      Association.
      Their
      goal
      is
      to
     
     
      influence
      Canadians
      to
      take
      the
      initia-
     
     
      tive
      to
      affect
      federal
      policy
      and
      to
      cre-
     
     
      ate
      change.
      They
      are
      looking
      for
      cre-
     
     
      ative,
      intelligent,
      constructive
      ideas
     
     
      from
      people
      who
      think
      outside
      the
     
     
      "traditional
      box."
     
    

    
     
      Here's
      how
      it
      works:

      their
      website
      and
      click
      ‘subject.’
      Once
     
     
      inside
      you
      will
      see
      a
      variety
      of

      immigration,
     
     
      health
      care,
      education,
      etc.
      Chose
      the
     
     
      topic
      you
      would
      like
      to
      address
      and
     
     
      state
      your
      idea

      clearly
      and
      as
     
     
      detailed
      as
      possible.
      If
      the

      If
     
     
      he
      or
      she

      What's
     
     
      more,
      you
      never
      know
      how
      far
      your
     
     
      idea
      may
      travel.
      It
      may
      reach
      as
      far
      as
     
     
      changing
      the
      Canadian
      Criminal
      Code.
     
    

    
     
      The
      people
      organizing
      this
     
     
      website
      are
      particularly
      interested
      in
     
     
      receiving
      ideas
      from
      students
      across
     
     
      Canada.
      Students
      are
      in
      a
      setting
     
     
      where
      they
      are
      encouraged
      to
      think
     
     
      with
      open
      minds,
      to
      debate
      and
      dis-
     
     
      cuss,
      to
      absorb
      information.
      Twenty-
     
     
      five
      years
      from
      now,
      today's
      students
     
     
      will
      be
      in
      charge.
      This
      service
      will
     
     
      enable
      Canadians
      to
      be
      more
      in
      control
     
     
      of
      what
      their
      futures
      hold.
     
    

    
     
      Ideas
      must
      be
      constructive
      and
     
     
      positive.
      Negative
      comments
      are
     
     
      unwelcome.

      that

      In
      fact,
      they
