| Manitobans Urged To Vote Environment | 09 October 08 |
 Canada's 2008 federal election will mark the 40th time Canadians have gone to the polls in our country's 141-year history. While all elections matter, some elections have more serious implications than others. Some campaigns have nation altering consequences - our 1988 election, focused on free trade, is one obvious instance of a nation altering vote. The 2008 election may be the most critical election in our history, for its outcome will have not only profound national consequences but global ones as well. Canadians are considering their environmental legacy at home and globally. They are also seeking solutions and messages of hope. This election will set the course and define Canada's approach to the climate crisis. Voters wish to elect a government that will take real action on climate change - the most important single challenge the world faces at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Five federal political parties have made their climate positions clear. "This election is so critical, each individual vote matters so much, and its vitally important we elect people and parties committed to climate change action," said Gaile Whelan Enns, of Manitoba Wildlands, a member of Climate Action Network Canada.
