International DUers: Discuss politics in our new country forums!

[Skinner]

Following the overwhelming success of our DU State Forums, many international members have requested special forums to discuss politics from their respective countries. We have finally decided to give it a shot.

Today we are opening two country forums -- Canada and the United Kingdom -- because these are the two (non-US) countries that have the most DU members. These two Country Forums can be found by clicking on the Forum called "State & Country Forums" and then scrolling to the bottom of the forum list.

If there is sufficient interest, we will gladly add additional countries at the request of our members.

Country: Canada

Enjoy!
