Write an LTE if you want to make your opinion heard in a timely manner. You don’t need a lot of research, and your LTE can be brief and to-the-point - just 150-200 words! When time is of the essence, choose to write an LTE.
Once submitted, you can track your letter by doing an internet search of your name and following up with the publication to find out if/when it is getting published.
Your letter doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to be an expert to have an opinion. You simply need to care.
Call-to-action summary:
Budget 2026 was an opportunity for Canada to get on track and reinvest in our world. Prime Minister Carney missed this opportunity. Instead, the government locked-in last year's cuts to international aid – all while our world's crises intensify and spread. We must let our representatives know that this isn't what we want from Canada, and that this isn't what our world deserves.
