"I love [the Samara Centre]. It's an amazing charity. Its entire reason for being is to inspire Canadians to become more involved in democracy. What's not to love? They aren't stuffy, they've got a great sense of humour. If you love politics, you could spend hours on their website." — Rick Mercer, Political Satirist and Board Member
