[fvc-wat-disc] Cooperate for Canada event Saturday September 15, 7 PM

[Anita Nickerson]

Hello fellow Fair Vote Canada supporters!

Cooperate for Canada is not a Fair Vote Canada campaign, so I cannot post
this on our announcements list, but it is directly related to achieving
proportional representation. That's the sole reason I'm making this
campaign my top priority in the next three years, in addition to continuing
to work hard for Fair Vote Canada. I hope you will consider joining us on
September 15 to talk about Liberal, NDP and Green cooperation to bring in a
genuine majority with a commitment to PR.

Today we found out that Stuart Parker will be joining us by Skype from B.C.
What a life this man has had - http://stuartparker.ca/stuart-parkers-bio/.
Someone who is not afraid of controversy is putting it mildly. Stuart has
been a leader in the electoral reform movement and is starting a Fair Vote
Canada Vancouver chapter. You will also have a chance to meet the first
Liberal pro-cooperation leadership candidate, David Merner, before the
federal leadership race starts. I so much appreciate the effort and
leadership of James Gordon and Cathy Maclellan, sticking their necks out
for an idea that resonates with centre-left Canadians but challenges
parties. However, the Green Party of Canada officially endorsed cooperation
with 84% of members in favour at their national convention last month.

Hope to see many of you on September 15, and please share with anyone you
know who may be interested! Facebook page:
