PAOV, you’ve had an incredible year.
In 2018, you stood up for what you believe in, you took action on the issues that matter to you, and your actions made a real difference.
Together with the rest of the Leadnow community, you’ve achieved wins that no one thought were possible -- from beating back corporate control of our democracy, to defending our environment, and standing up for justice. (Seriously, take a look below at all that we’ve achieved together this year!)
And the most impressive part? Every single campaign is funded by people like you. No secret cheques from corporate CEO’s or political parties, just thousands of everyday...
Celebrate the season by standing up for reindeer

It’s crunch time. The Advisory Council on the Implementation of
National Pharmacare is about to report back to the government.
Big Pharma and insurance industries are spending big bucks to lobby for a “fill-in-the-gaps" model. Let’s make sure that we challenge their self-serving efforts.
You can write to the Chair of the Advisory Council, Dr. Eric Hoskins, right now. Tell him that half-measures and band-aid solutions won’t work.

This referendum is a nail biter. Every poll puts the two sides neck in neck, with Too Close to Call predicting that if the ballots were counted on November 24, the NO side would win by just 2%. But the important news is: The ballots from ridings where people are most likely to vote YES are arriving and we're gaining momentum!!
We CAN win this! But we only have 7 days left to do it.
Here's how you are making the difference:
The Phone Bank - friendly calling
We can't stress strongly enough how the volunteers making these calls are the most powerful tool we have to win this referendum.
