* ATV's ON TRANS-CANADA TRAIL.  According to Jan/Feb 
2000 Canadian Geographic, all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) are being 
allowed on sections of the Trans-Canada Trail.  Motorized & non-

bird-watch or observe wildlife with 4-wheelers roaring by? Would 
you want to take your kids for a bike ride or a walk - if you risk 
being disturbed or hit by an ATV or dirt bike?  What a waste - to 
have gone to all this effort to end up creating just another corridor for 
motorized vehicles. There are already 1000's of km's of trail including 
snowmobile trails that ATV's use. Write to: Allan Rock:

(E) FEATURE ACTION - PAUL MARTIN & CLIMATE CHANGE 
--------------------------------------------------    
 
If you haven't written a "Dear Paul Martin" letter in the last couple of 
weeks, about Climate Change, please DO IT NOW!  Grab one of 
these points (or use your own) and wrap a simple letter around it. 
Short and simple.   
 
* the 1990's were the warmest decade in a millennium 
* the Feds. (still!) give massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry 
* other countries are investing in renewable energy like wind 
(Denmark & Germany) and solar (Japan) 
* reducing C02 emissions saves Canadians money, and creates jobs 
* with a national job creation program to renovate the country we 
could meet and exceed our Kyoto commitments 
 
John Bennett of the Sierra Club writes: 
 
On Tuesday and Wednesday the Liberal caucus is meeting. The 
budget will be high on the list of topics. 
 
We know from our sources that the battle is still raging within the 
government over how big the climate change spending program will 
be. They are pleading with us to demonstrate public support and to 
develop media attention because there is time to influence the 
outcome. But it requires all of us to use our keyboards, faxes and 
phones. 
 
I am considering presenting Martin with a pair of new shoes 
(traditionally the Finance Minister buys new shoes and wears them 
when the budget is presented). I would like to fill the shoes with 
letters from individuals and organizations supporting the $1.6 billion 
program presented to the Cabinet last fall. So far I have enough to fill 
a penny loafer. We need enough to fill hip waders. 
 
Please take ten minutes and send a note to Martin and copy it to me 
(aajb@magma.ca). Please write Martin (address below) and ask 
everyone in your office and neighbourhood to send one too.  We can 
make a difference this time.

"If civilization is in danger today... it will do so with the   
enthusiastic assistance of credulous people.  They seem to me   
more dangerous than the most brazen leaders, because everything   
is done with their cooperation." - A. Anatoli Kuuznetsov
