[fvc-wat-announce] [fvc-wat-disc] Do you have 3 minutes for a more democratic Canada?

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hello All,

Thanks Jenn and to the other wonderful folks who have been in touch to
indicate that they will call or email Raj, Bardish, Marwan or Byran.
One of my colleagues at work is going to email Raj.

And, please if you are on this list, please take the three minutes to phone
or email your MP.  It is important to let Prime Minister Trudeau know that
we are paying attention, we do care, that we expect the government to keep
it's promise and that we aren't going away.  We need to deflate this trial
balloon.

With many thanks to everyone,
Sharon
