Canadian PM Stephen Harper won’t even acknowledge all of those books sent to him by Yan Martel. I doubt even when boiled down, condensed, simplified, whether he’ll even glance at what you’ve done. Still, as with Martel, good on ya for trying. I’m sure a lot of other people will be reading UNDRIP for the first time thanks to you.
