  1. You can also include a mini-version of the petition on your site, by copying the HTML code below and pasting it on your blog or web site :
    <div id=“peSiteTargetDiv304772072”><a href=“http://www.thepetitionsite.com/” style=“display: block; width: 252px; text-align: center; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;”>Petition powered by ThePetitionSite.com</a></div>

It will display a widget that looks like this:

I as a retired Canadian am fortunate to be covered by Extended Health benifits . Our Provincial and Territorial Goverments are awere through Advocacy by the Canadian Diabetes Association and their volunteer advocay ambassadors , that by spending one dollar on diabetes treatment ultimately four dollars will be saved . Simple is n’t it !!
Some provincial governments are more progressive than others : insulin pumps are made available to children and adults in Ontario; by special authority pumps are made available to kids in BC , NF , Sask .There is lot more work ahead .I am living proof, that finger pokes ( a lot ) have helped me staying away from the Emergency department and that an insulin pump has improved my quality of life and for the people around me . I consider myself a healthy 68 year contributor towards the Canadian economy .
I signed the petition; I feel strongly about the plight of diabetes, no matter where one lives .

Thanks for supporting this initiative, Nel!!

I’m in it.
