[fvc-wat-announce] A Poster: It Was Only Ever AV For Trudeau

[Sharon Sommerville]

Dear FairVoting Friends,

Last Tuesday, Prime Minister Trudeau answered a question on electoral
reform at a press conference in Ottawa. His answer was a long last
truthful; the LPC dropped electoral reform because Alternative Vote (ranked
ballot/preferential vote) wasn't the electoral system of choice.  The
earlier talking points used by Liberal MPs; no national consensus, can't
move forward without the support of Canadians etc. were proven to be smoke
and mirrors.

Below is an article by Althia Raj, Ottawa Bureau Chief for the Huffington
Post that reports on the Prime Minister's comments:

FairVote Canada has put together a poster which
illustrates Trudeau's comments and about face on electoral reform.  If you
could share the poster to let folks know that the Prime Minister has been
misleading Canadians, it would help hold the government to account.

If you have any questions, please be in touch. My email is

All the best,
Sharon
