Pam Allard, one of the admins of Canadians Defending Democracy, formerly Canadians Rallying to Unseat Stephen Harper, or CRUSH, reports on the wall at the Facebook page:
I have great news! The Vaughan Citizen has been given the go-ahead to publish our ad this Sunday, before the Vaughan by-election. We are also pursuing some advertising opportunities in the Ottawa Valley in the near future. Please contribute what you can to our ongoing advertising campaign to defend our democracy.
The Vaughan Citizen seems to be part of the Metroland chain that had previously refused to publish the group's ad.
Launched in August of 2001 The Vaughan Citizen takes over where The Vaughan Liberal left off. With a circulation of 31,625 the Citizen is distributed on Thursdays and Sundays to selected homes in the 'City Above Toronto'. It was decided by Metroland's York Region Newspaper Group, that the community was large enough to have its own community newspaper resulting in the birth of the Vaughan Citizen.
Hmm. I'm thinking that some of those 'selected' homeowners who get the Vaughan Citizen might drop into their local Timmie's and leave the paper behind, open to the appropriate page.
Canadians Defending Democracy is a totally grassroots, multi-partisan group, an offshoot of Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament. Remember, it was labelled a 'radical anti-Stephen Harper group' by internal ReformaTory talking points.
What's not to like about that?
If you do like, please send them a few bucks from their still-under-construction new site.
Me, I'm not only radically anti-Stephen Harper, I'm radically anti-Julian Fantino as well.

The line, Do you still trust him is a big mistake. It implies that whoever voted for him before has made a mistake, or is stupid. You don't want to accuse readers of having made a mistake or being stupid. You want them to tell themselves that they dont trust harper, so the question shouldn't be "do you still trust", it should just by Why would you trust (having just given reasons why you wouldn't) or How can we trust.... Hopefully there is time to fix this before going to press.
Anonymous: I took your comment to the Facebook page where it is being discussed now. Maybe you'd like to join the group and add your voice there.
