size=4>"Electoral Reform in Canada: Where Do We Go From Here?"</FONT></STRONG>
with Dennis Pilon (Poster copied below and attached).</DIV>

Auditorium</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>When:</STRONG> Thursday March 22, 7 PM</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dennis Pilon was one of the founders of Fair Vote Canada, has just moved
back to Ontario from British Columbia, and we are fortunate to have him coming
to talk to us in Kitchener-Waterloo. I believe some folks from Fair Vote Canada
Toronto, including Fair Vote Canada's Executive Director, will be joining
us.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dennis will be addressing two questions that are <EM>key</EM> for those of
us committed to achieving a vote that counts:</DIV>
<DIV><B><FONT size=5><FONT size=5><FONT size=3><BR>1) What lessons have we
learned from efforts to reform Canada's voting </FONT><FONT size=3>system over
the last ten years?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>2) What does the movement for proportional
representation need to do to </FONT></FONT></FONT><I>succeed </I>in
future?</P></B></DIV>
<DIV>About Dennis:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>His research has focused primarily on issues of democratization and
democratic reform in western countries in both contemporary and historical
contexts. In 2007 he published <I>The Politics of Voting: Reforming
Canada’s Electoral System.</I><BR><BR>Over the past decade, Professor Pilon has
done considerable public speaking and media work commenting on many aspects of
politics with reporters from print, radio and television, particularly on topics
relating to elections and political parties. He is presently a member of the
National Advisory Board of Fair Vote Canada, a citizens’ group focused on
gaining more proportional methods of voting for Canadian elections. He has also
acted as a consultant on election issues for various legal firms, political
parties, trade unions, community groups, and the Auditor General of
Canada. <BR></DIV>
