“Karl was there at the critical moments of Canadian politics from the October Crisis of 1970 to the federal election of 2011 and the twists and turns of politics today. He knows the players and provides Canadians not just a play-by-play of the action but a much-needed analysis of what our politicians are doing — and how their moves shape our futures. When something major happens and you want to know what it means for us, read Karl’s column.” ~Carl Stieren, game inventor, communications consultant and editor

Now is of course the perfect time to have a reporter like Karl Nerenberg covering the politics of Parliament. On Saturday, November 2, the Conservative Convention ends and so does our on-site rabble drive to support Karl Nerenberg. Everyone who donates at least $25 by November 2 will be entered to win: A) One of 10 rabble tote bags B) one of 5 rabble best of rabble book bundles C) the grand prize of the critically acclaimed Nexus 7 (16gb) tablet!

We are still short of our fundraising goal. We’ve written about Karl’s 25-plus years covering politics, his award-winning journalism, even his jazz piano. Why should you support Karl Nerenberg as an independent reporter? We will leave the last word to Karl (below).
