Ms Lynn McDonald was one of our speakers at our April 2, 2009 rally in Toronto, Canada; where we made world history. Thanks to you, our speakers and our supporters, we became the first public rally in the world, to organize IN a pedestrian scramble intersection!
Regarding, Ms McDonald. She was a former federal politician in Canada, the MP for
Broadview-Greenwood in Toronto (1982-1988). We invited Ms McDonald to speak at our rally because of her efforts and expertise as both a former anti-nuclear activist. Her activism now is directed at the community organization, Just Earth, and their crucial efforts in the crucial issue of climate change.
But Ms McDonald and Just Earth supported our rally, recognizing that the planned global proliferation of nuclear energy would directly impact climate change!
Ms McDonald has already made history, herself, on many fronts; including her anti-tobacco efforts, by being one of the few politicians in Canada to successfully introduce legislation, while not in the ruling government party (i.e., "private member's bill"). Her legislation sought to restrict smoking and ban tobacco ads, Bill C 204.
Given today's information and bans on smoking around the world, Ms McDonald was very much ahead of the curve in her thinking in the 1980's! We thank her in her support of our efforts at NoNuclearNow.
As well, we at NoNuclearNow are pleased and honoured that Ms McDonald has graciously accepted our invitation to join another action by NoNuclearNow to continue the momentum of the anti-nuclear energy movement! Another secret initiative at this moment. But be on the lookout --this action shall mount national and global action and attention on the dangers of nuclear energy!
We urge and thank everyone, keeping up on the media and public pressure against nuclear energy!
