What if you could write a law? Or improve any existing law or policy?

What if you could influence any decision the government makes, about anything that's important you, or that you know a lot about. You feel closely connected to the issue, but you're not satisfied with the current situation. Based on your experiences or your expertise, you know what it takes to make the country better.

What would you do?

Canadians just elected a new federal government, and last week they arrived in Ottawa to get to work in 2016. Now, let's set the tone for the next four years. Let's show the new government we take democracy seriously, that we have good advice about the decisions affecting our lives, and that shaping our country's future is not just their job, it's our job too.

We can help. Starting your petition on Change.org gives you access you the best online organizing tools in the world to raise awareness, find and mobilize signers easily,  communicate with your supporters and decision-makers, and run a successful campaign. Plus, a you're tapping into a network of over 4 million potential supporters in Canada.

Why not get started right away?

Here are a few tips for petitioning the government:

1. Find your minister. The prime minister is powerful, but chances are there is a minister in cabinet who can play a direct role in making the change you want to see. Take a look at each minister's portfolio to target the right one and make reaching them part of your strategy. (List of all federal ministers)

2. Find other decision-makers or influencers. Who else has a say in the decision you're after? There may be a government agency who can do what you and your supporters want. Also consider asking your local member of parliament to get behind your idea.

3. Check jurisdiction. If you can't find the right federal minister or agency, it's possible that your provincial or municipal government is responsible for your issue. Be sure to target the people that can really make the change you're after!

Bonus tip! As always, remember to share your petition as widely as possible as soon as you launch it.

In the digital age, you've got everything you need to rally support for your ideas and speak directly to your new government.

Are you ready to change the course of Canada's history?
