[fvc-wat-disc] New Mandate Letter for the Hon. Karina Gould

[daviddirks at rogers.com]

I am not at all surprised.  At least we are not left hanging for a few more months.  This has been a botched and most cynical exercise on the part of the government.  What a waste of an opportunity, so so disappointing.

 Holy crap!  
JT did not even give the new recruit a chance to deal with the issue.  
Top-down dictatorship. The very opposite of the democracy I believe we ‎are looking for!

Just heard the news on CBC that the Libs have announced not going to honour the promised electoral reform. 

I'll be sending them a stern rebuke ‎for sure!

>A clear preference for a new electoral system, let alone a consensus, has not emerged. Furthermore, without a clear preference or a clear question, a referendum would not be in Canada’s interest. Changing the electoral system will not be in your mandate.
