Well there are over 200,000 people in the facebook group...personally I hope it indicates a real willingness for political engagement amongst Canadians.
One indication of this will be real turnout at this coming weekend's rallies... even though I personally sometimes doubt their effectiveness I intend to go to my local rally. I hope any enthusiasm generated by the rallies will continue in the weeks and months ahead.
It is imperative we keep up this new level of political awareness of what's happening in our federal politics. Sometime in the next two years or so Canadians will have the opportunity to pass direct judgement on the actions of our Prime Minister in prorogation to avoid accountability for government decisions. That will be the time to fully act on any new political awareness.
Maintaining the new level of political engagement will be a challenge... but I think possible through use of the evolving social/new media.
