The Hunger Site
This was started by Tim Kunan and Greg Hesterberg through GreaterGood.org in 1999 as a way to give people a fast way to help those in need. Through cooperation of charitable partners, clicking once daily will give staple food to the hungry. It has since expanded from contributing to the erradication of world hunger to dontating to breast cancer research, funding healthcare for children, literacy, preserving endangered land in rainforests, and animal rescue. Click the third link on the left, "Sign up and give more" to get daily e-mail reminders.

Here's a link to Hansard--basically a transcript of everything said by the politicans at Queen's park. When you're working on the election campaign might want to type in your issues as keywords in the search box and see what you come up with.
The Raging Grannies
http://www.i2r.org/fmm/
Five minutes to midnight--a great site run by kids for kids. Kinda hard to
explain--it's like an on-line zine about youth and political issues.
http://www.youthactionnetwork.org/rac/Fireitup/index.html
So...you've found an issue you're passionate about and you're ready to take
action. Not sure where to start? Do you wish there was a manual? Well,
there is.

http://www.ciut.fm/schedule.php
Here's the link to the University of Toronto's independant radio station,
CIUT.fm. Started in 1966, it has a long history of promoting "leading-edge
music and spoken-word programming." When you look at their schedule, take
note of the show "Alternative Radio." If you're tired of mainstream media,
it's refreshing stuff
http://www.citizensassembly.gov.on.ca/en-CA/About.aspx
Here's the link to Ontario's Citizen's Assembly on Electoral Reform. They'll
deliver a report this spring, possibly recommending a change to the voting
system we currently use at the provincial level. If you're doing the
Crossfire project on Electoral reform, or if you're the Elections official
during the Mock Election, you should take a look. Click on their classroom
link and then watch the "Billy Ballot" animation

The Premier's "Kid Zone" page is probably a little juvenille for most of you,
but this virtual tour of Queen's park is pretty cool
