[fvc-wat-disc] Fwd: Electoral Reform Poll

[Bob Jonkman]

On the FVC Chapter Leaders mailing list Martin Hyde encourages us to 
participate in the Globe And Mail's poll on "What's the next discussion 
Canada needs to have?"

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/time-to-lead/vote-whats-the-next-discussion-canada-needs-to-have/article1813783/


As Martin says, if the government isn't elected with a fair vote, 
there's no incentive for them to discuss the policy issues that are 
really important to Canadians.

The Globe's poll numbers have changed a little; as I write this there 
are 160 votes for "Changing the Electoral System", putting it in a firm 
2nd place at 15%.

Hello FairVote members,

The Globe and Mail has a poll today about which discussion topic they 
should address next in their paper. Electoral Reform is tied for second 
place (as I write this) at 13%. Climate Change and the Environment is in 
first with 26%, and while I think the environment is important I think 
we need a discussion on Electoral Reform much more (in part because to 
get long term buy in on environmental issues Canadians as a whole need 
to know they play a meaningful role in the making of those decisions). 
So, if you have a chance, and are so inclined, go to 
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/time-to-lead/multiculturalism/vote-whats-the-next-discussion-canada-needs-to-have/article1813783/

to cast your vote.

(My apologies to anyone who didn't want to receive this email.)

Martin
