            shaping up nicely. It will take place from 7 pm to 9 pm at 
            Eggspectation Restaurant, 220 Yonge Street (at Shuter Street). This

            <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small">The robocall scandal has really 
            highlighted the way that our current, winner-take-all system, in 
            which elections are decided by a few swing voters in a few swing 
            ridings, really facilitates and encourages electoral fraud. If a few 
            voters can be shifted in close ridings, many seats can change hands. 
            It has been estimated that the current government’s phony majority 
            hinges on less than seven thousand votes in close ridings. These 
            critical swing voters are easily identified and targeted with modern 
            polling and computer technology.</SPAN></P>

            <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small">After the discussion, the Friday
