[fvc-wat-disc] UPDATE ON TOMORROW'S NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON ELECTORAL REFORM

[John Cooper]

Catherine Fife is the NDP MPP for Waterloo. She did not vote – ‘strategically’ - for the Liberal candidate. 

Ms. Fife voted according to her principles and values.

 

 

I have signed the petition without any expectation that Trudeau will change his mind again and reverse his party’s decision to have the next election on the same old first-past-the-post voting.

That’s what he said at the town hall meeting ‘up north’. And he’ll accept whatever outcome. No kidding! If he loses, is he going to declare the result null and void?!

Hello FairVoting Friends,

 

Some great news about tomorrow's 1 pm rally for electoral reform at Kitchener City Hall! 

 

Catherine Fife, MPP for Waterloo will be speaking. Catherine is a long time supporter of PR and FVC's work. We are excited that she will be joining us and are looking forward to her comments. 

 

Jonathan Cassells has agreed to speak!  Jonathan is the Kitchener resident who initiated the Petition to the Government of Canada on electoral reform.  The petition hit 102,306 signatures this evening which will trigger a debate in the House of Commons. Brilliant citizen advocacy.

 

The heart of the rally is the open mic.  Everyone who wants to share what electoral reform means to them or what they think of the Liberals broken promise will have a chance to speak until the rally's end at 2:30 pm.

 

Join us tomorrow at 1 pm at Kitchener City Hall to share your story about electoral reform and send a message to our Prime Minister that we expect him to keep his promise to make every vote count.
