[fvc-wat-announce] Robocalls: The Story So Far, in January!

[Sharon Sommerville]

Season Greetings to all Fair Voting Friends,

Hope this finds everyone well and enjoying all the best of the festive
season.  With the New Year almost here, FVC-Waterloo Region would like to
invite you to a great evening  planned for Wednesday, January 16th to
take an in depth look at the robocall scandal with Jim Harris & Simon
Rowland.

Many of you may know Jim Harris, he is the former leader of the Green
Party of Canada and a popular Huffington Post blogger.  Jim has be writing
about the robocall scandal for the Huffington Post since the beginning and
he will be joined by Simon Rowland who is the President and CEO of Direct
Leap Technologies, a direct marketing firm that does robocalling.  Jim &
Simon will address the political and technical aspects of the robocall
scandal.  I have heard them give this talk and it is an excellent analysis
of the robocall scandal and it's significance for Canadian democracy .

Mark your calender for January 16, 7-9 pm at the Event Room of The Republic
House (former Philithy MacNasty's) 50 Westmount Road North in the Westmount
Plaza, Waterloo.  The event is free as always so bring a friend!  A poster
is attached & it would be terrific if you could put it up anywhere in your
neighbourhood that has a community bulletin board. We would like to get as
many people as possible out to hear Jim & Simon particularly as they are
coming from Toronto to speak with us.

Many thanks & hope to see you on the 16th!

Best wishes for 2013,

Sharon
