I did it... called Raj's office. The receptionist didn't suggest I email them ☺. I did email the request on to other lists I'm on, and I put it on Facebook. ..Mo

Hello All,
Thanks Jenn and to the other wonderful folks who have been in touch to
indicate that they will call or email Raj, Bardish, Marwan or Byran.
One of my colleagues at work is going to email Raj.
And, please if you are on this list, please take the three minutes to phone
or email your MP. It is important to let Prime Minister Trudeau know that
we are paying attention, we do care, that we expect the government to keep
it's promise and that we aren't going away. We need to deflate this trial
balloon.
With many thanks to everyone,
Sharon

Luisa, Fair Vote is at the #ERRE right now, so it is impossible for me
(Hopefully most of us) to give it consideration before 8 p.m.

Phoned Bardish yesterday, signed the Broadbent petition, posted the MP
contacts on Facebook, and then had a big debate with young Tory-ish friend.
And then I heard about Trudeau changing his tune. I'm guessing there was a
lot of feedback? Yay!
Kevin.
