> The Friday evening event is shaping up nicely. It will take place
> from 7 pm to 9 pm at Eggspectation Restaurant, 220 Yonge Street (at
> Shuter Street). This is in the Eaton Centre, but is accessible from
> Yonge Street.
>
> Jim Harris will lead us in a discussion of the developing
> Robocalls/Election Fraud scandal, and how it changes the political
> landscape in Canada.
>
> 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.
