A People's Response brings Canadians from all walks of life into the discussion about the current economic crisis and the future of our country. It's a way for busy but concerned people like you to make your voice heard and provide our governments with a better picture of the real effects of the recession on all of us. It’s also a way for us to ensure that our governments find solutions that work for everybody, every day.
