CAPP plans Torch Relay for Democracy while latest poll shows Liberals and Tories in dead heat

As the Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament suggests 31 activities to keep reminding Canadians about Stephen Harper, the prime minister's decision to prorogue Parliament until March 3, the latest poll shows the Liberals and Conservatives in a dead heat with voters -- each at 32 percent.

But the Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey suggests "a seismic political shift" may be underway as the Liberals are pulling ahead of the Tories in Ontario and Quebec, and showing strength in the 905 area code.

In a post on Facebook, CAPP says that The Anti-Prorogation Rallies were an incredible success. "As we draw closer to Parliament's eventual return on March 3rd, it is important that we find new and creative ways to keep the issue alive. Between February 1st and March 3rd, we have 31 days. That's 31 days to get involved, get informed and get out there."

The issue needs to be kept alive at the local level, CAPP says and provides a list of some that can be undertaken.


Christopher White the University of Alberta graduate student, who founded CAPP which now has more than 220,000 members posted that during
the second week of the Olympics, several communities across the country will be taking part in a Torch Relay for Democracy.

The idea is that each community will create its own
symbolic torch and plan a running route, similar to the Olympic torch run. It's a fun way to get engaged and keep the issue of prorogation and democracy alive. It isn't intended to be front page news, but instead help bring the community together."

Quite likely The Torch Relay for Democracy will become front page news.
