Avaaz condemns Harper response to global poverty

From The Harper Index:
The prestigious international anti-poverty organization Avaaz has called Canada one of the three worst offenders in the global fight against poverty.

"World leaders gather this Thursday at the United Nations to renew the fight against extreme poverty," reported an appeal from the organization. "But three countries -- France, Canada, and Italy -- are threatening to undermine the world's anti poverty efforts, by slashing their development aid budgets and breaking their international promises.

Avaaz accuses Canada of reneging on development funding. "In Canada, which kept 99.7% of its income last year, Stephen Harper seems more interested in winning his election than in upholding Canada's tradition of moral leadership," the organization charges.

It is urging its members and citizens around the world to flood the Canadian government with emails as part of "sending Harper, Sarkozy, and Berlusconi a clear signal that we expect them to keep to their word."

    Food has become the most overused drug and the most underused form of nutrition.

    carrying a variety of heavy items, tool construction and dancing.

    disheartening, but, it also gave rise to the need for a fresh start, which came in the form of the next
    blues-only venue, Antone's, founded by the late Clifford Antone, during the summer of 1975.

    In that case, this kind of question should not be taken from any show telecasted in
