The Liberal Party has fought for decades to build a Canada where every citizen, in every part of our country, gets a fair shot at the full promise of Canadian life.
Pearson fought for universal health care. Trudeau the Charter of Rights. Chrétien and Martin kept our country together and restored it to fiscal health.
And from where I’ve sat at the front of the Opposition benches in 2010, I must say — we have never had to fight harder to protect our vision for Canada. And fight hard we did, all year long, as Liberals rallied together when it mattered most.

When Stephen Harper shut down Parliament over the holidays, your incredible response enabled us to launch an ad campaign against prorogation that forced the Conservatives back on their heels.
Later, when the Conservative government threw away the long form census, you helped us to hold them accountable for their reckless attack on an essential service that tells us who we are as a country. Liberals will bring the census back.
And when Jack Layton’s NDP waffled and Stephen Harper ignored Canada’s police forces, Liberal MPs stood united in the House of Commons to save the gun registry. Your support made that possible.
I entered politics to fight for Canadian families, to make Canadians’ lives better and bring us together as a country. That’s what Liberals stand for. But Stephen Harper is doing everything he can to tear Canadians apart.
That’s why, with less than a month left to make a political donation in 2010, I’m asking you to give, just as Liberals have at key moments all year long.
Please give $25, $100, or even $250 and get up to 75 percent of your contribution back at tax time. Along with your vote and your hard work, a political donation is the best way for you to choose the Canada you believe in.
Thank you.
