Comments on: DEPARTMENT OF PEACE BILL PASSES FIRST READING, SEPT. 30, 2009, A MILESTONE FOR THE CDPI http://www.departmentofpeace.ca/2009/10/department-of-peace-bill-passes-first-reading-sept-30-2009-a-milestone-for-the-cdpi/ News from the Campaign to Establish a Canadian Department of Peace Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:13:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Eric Unger http://www.departmentofpeace.ca/2009/10/department-of-peace-bill-passes-first-reading-sept-30-2009-a-milestone-for-the-cdpi/comment-page-1/#comment-36190 Eric Unger Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:10:21 +0000 http://www.departmentofpeace.ca/?p=263#comment-36190 I have only learned about this private member's bill in the last few hours, so I'm very eager to learn what it's all about. I am thrilled that at least some members of parliament recognize that a Peace Department has legitimacy. I'm assuming that it will provide a channel for (international) relations based on non-military strategies, strategies which, in my mind, only increase the levels of hate and destruction that our planet must endure. Congratulations to all those members who worked on this bill! And thank you, thank you, thank you. I will revise my level of cynicism as to what our representatives are doing. I look forward to a positive outcome for Bill C447. I have only learned about this private member’s bill in the last few hours, so I’m very eager to learn what it’s all about.

Congratulations on adding momentum to the Global movement. Our MA state campaign participates in The Peace Alliance and Student Peace Alliance support of the bill for a U.S. Department of Peace (HR 808) and the Youth Promise Act (HR 1064 and S435), and in supporting conditions for peace in our communities.
