It is imperative that Canada continues as a beacon of advocacy and justice throughout the world. Please ensure your policies and your actions do not undermine this legacy!

All I say is that it is evident that the worlds leaders (including you Mr.Harper) does not care for the poor nations or the well being of citizens. When we sent our troops to Iraq this was like a "slap in the face" to all citizens suffering in Africa (who I remind you have been suffering for a long long time) because they people are going through the same struggles as those in Iraq if not worse. Not to discredit the importance of Iraqs' mission but how was this cause any more important then what is happening to women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, actually if you look at the two countries problems are almost identical so why the favortism I ask. Now that our troops are withdrawing from Iraq would it not make sense to deploy some in the Democratic Republic of Congo and continue to fight our supposed mission of bringing forth stable democratic governments to countries without them. Also to ensure that all rights and freedoms and granted to every individual in the world no matter their nationality or citizen. Frankly I hear a lot talk when it comes to issues like this in Africa and very little action in my mind and I think in the mind of many others the world has given up on Africa. I do applaud our previous efforts (Rwanda genocide) but as for our recent activities I cannot say the same. Would Africa have to become some type of terrorist threat or commit and act of terror against North America for us to finally go in and straighten things up because that seemed to get us into Iraq fairly quickly. Overall everyone should be treatly fairly and equally let us not forget The Universal Declaration of Human Rights; Article 2, Article 5 & Article 20 #2 (forced training of child soldiers) and Article 28... Will we only care once their problems becomes ours please prove me wrong Mr.Harper

We are so lucky to live in Canada where daily threats to our lives do not exist. It is our responsibility as a more fortunate country to help those who are endangered and tortured daily. When will Canada step up to the plate and open their eyes to the horror happening outside of our country?

Something must be done in this situation; as a country that prides itself on our legacy of peace keeping and the promotion of good values in foreign affairs, we have no choice but to do all that we can. Please place a focus on this and other issues of conflict in the developing world. This is every bit as important as issues like the financial crisis.

Don't allow Canada to fall into apathy, we are defined by our inactions as much as we are defined by our action.

The fact that what is happening to civilians in the Congo is unthinkable for me, yet people are living through it and dying from it every day, is an incredibly unjust tragedy.

It's necessary to give the people, especially the children, in other countries the same opportunities us Canadians have here. It's unfair for us to be given the chance to help them and not take it. Please, please help to fight for the peace, however oxymoronic that may be, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Sir, I believe there are few petitions worth signing aside from those concerning the peace and comfort of innocent people across the world. We're all the same and I believe if we can make a difference and avoid violence, that is an extremely wrothy cause.

I take this issue particularly personally because I just spent three months in South Africa, and saw, by the number of people who I became personally close with who were affected, the great reach of this crisis. I hope that you will understand the severety of the issue as well.

•  Continuing violence against women and children is one of the major barriers to establishing peace and stability in eastern DRC
