<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just a reminder of our documentary event on women
and politics tomorrow (Thursday). Since we've had some emails from people we
don't usually see at Fair Vote events to say they are planning to attend, we've
moved to a slightly larger room in the same social work building - room 301
(third floor - there is an elevator or stairs). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hope to see many of you tomorow!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our next event is a screening and discussion of "Menocracy", on loan
from Fair Vote Canada Toronto, a Canadian documentary looking at why so few
women are elected to our Parliament, what the implications are for
how politics is done and what issues take priority, and what we can do
about it (including proportional representation). Details about the
documentary below.</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>What:</STRONG> Menocracy documentary (see the trailer at: <A

<DIV>Thank you for your continued support of Fair Vote Canada Waterloo:

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope to see many of you soon.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Description: When it comes to politics, why are so
few women elected? And why do so few women actually run? Does it matter? Can we
change this situation? </DIV>
<P>Come to a showing of the film, Menocracy, an up-to-date and entertaining
exploration of the issue made by Canadian filmmaker, Gretchen Kelbaugh. </P>
<P>See the documentary trailer at: <A class=ext
title=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLWSzq2v74
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLWSzq2v74" target=_blank

class=ext></SPAN></P>
<P>Pushed by the spirit of her great-aunt, Militant Suffragette Gert Harding,
Gretchen Kelbaugh searches for ways to elect more women. Leading political
scientists and Rt Hon Kim Campbell, the only woman to be head of government in
North America, offer many solutions.<BR><BR>This documentary asks:<BR>1. What
difference does it make having more women in government?<BR>2. Why aren't there
more women already?<BR>3. What can we do to elect more women? </P>
<P>In the end, Gretchen and the sassy spirit learn the surprising truth: not
only does our rotten democracy fail women; it fails almost everyone. And the
secret kept by top politicians: most other democracies have fixed the problem
long ago. </P>
