So I was just about to tell people about the happy ending to the Ugandan story when I got the following e-mail.

Uganda's parliament just announced that they are extending the Spring session for one extra day-an extraordinary move showing the parliament's commitment to pushing this death penalty law through by whatever means necessary

DAH. I despise phoning people, and now I gotta call the PM. *goes to do so right away, before she can chicken out*

...Except I can't get it to spit out his phone number.

Never mind, got it. GAH.

It requires a lot of scripts to be enabled:

Toll-free: 1 (866) 599-4999 // Telephone: (+1) (613) 992-4211 / (+1) (403) 253-7990

Basically, at the Toll-free number, someone asks who you want to call and, if you ask to speak to the Prime Minister/Harper then she asks which province you're from and connects you to the answering machine.

It goes something like in the first part of this video, though I didn't get asked why. The answering machine is the same, though.

Yeah, I just finished leaving my own message. (I'm definitely going to check out that site later on, though! XD) I also e-mailed Jack Layton, because I couldn't figure out his phone directory. I win at technology, for serious.

Now off to get groceries and tremble for a while.

I didn't get around to finding how to leave Layton a message in particular, but the contact number at the bottom of the page just requires pressing 1 and then 2 to get to a general voice message system.

We can shake like leaves together!!

I didn't want to chance it to general voice mail, although I suppose general e-mail isn't all that much more likely to get noticed. Possibly less. Erm. Oh well!

And it seems we did--actually, it seems you were even more trembly than I was, which is saying something. We are seriously awesome at this phone thing, man. :|b
