Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I believe in Canada, and I believe that among our greatest national assets is our robust liberal democracy. When I was in Ghana this past December, I heard time and again admiration for the opportunity and institutions that have been enabled by this democracy.
That’s why, during this election, I’m co-hosting events for candidates from each of the two political parties in Canada with a chance to form a government.
I’m inviting you to strengthen our democracy too – just choose red or blue!

Liberal Red
Conversation and Cocktails with Hon. Bob Rae, Liberal Candidate in Toronto-Centre
Date: Thursday, April 21, 2011
Time: 6 – 8 pm
Location: Tory’s LLP, 79 Wellington Street West, Reception on 33rd Floor, Toronto
Tickets: $250 (or $150 for Victory Fund donors … www.victoryfund.ca)
Tax receipt of $200 (tax credit of up to 75% of this donation amount).
Why I wanted to host this candidate:
Mr. Rae is one of Canada’s distinguished statesmen, one of the highlights being his oversight of constitutional negotiations in Sri Lanka. He is well-versed in international issues, including development – this is something I’m passionate about, and I believe Canada’s role in the world should be prominent in this election.

Conservative Blue
An evening with Corneliu Chisu P.Eng., Conservative Candidate in Pickering-Scarborough East
With special guest speaker Senator Mike Duffy
Date: Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Time: 6 – 8 pm
Location: National Club, 303 Bay Street, Toronto
Tickets: $250
Tax receipt of $200 (tax credit of up to 75% of this donation amount).
Why I wanted to host this candidate:
Mr. Chisu is represents the best of engineering – a capable professional, who serves his profession both in Canada and abroad. He is an ambassador for science, technology and engineering leadership among his peers in the profession (elected Vice President for Professional Engineers Ontario) and by promoting youth education. As a retired Major from the Canadian Forces, he has practical experience with Canada’s foreign policy. I strongly believe we need more engineers like Mr. Chisu in parliament and legislatures across Canada.
