The Victoria Times Colonist reports, “The federal government should give peace a chance, say Victoria councillors Chris Coleman and Marianne Alto. The two are seeking council support for a resolution urging the federal government to establish a Department of Peace. …The Canadian Department of Peace Initiative is supported by a variety of individuals, including former foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy, former NDP leader Alexa McDonough and singer Raffi Cavoukian, and agencies such as the Anglican Church of Canada-Diocese of Ottawa, Canadian Federation of University Women and the Council of Canadians. …The resolution is to be considered by councillors on Monday.” http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Council+pair+want+talk+peace+with+feds/7132648/story.html
