[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] Event Press Release, Opinion Article and Presentation

[Alida and George]

Non-partisan.
There will be no huddle, beforehand, with reps of the Cosnervative Party of 
Canada as took place a year back?

And does one go "upfront" with folks so "backroom and secret" as that crowd?

There must be some terribly naive people in the organization these days....
