Better links to Karina Gould speeches:

Speech in Commons on ERRE in June:
https://youtu.be/WPQfM3mYiFQ
This is really good.

Radio interview on ER town hall in Sept:
https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwi80OSf6rjRAhXJPRoKHTdpC_8QwqsBCC4wBg&usg=AFQjCNF1sHlk2z9QIx28jtvfnGP_UlkifA&sig2=n1QvkddQMBwBcrImLpWQdQ

Or just Google Karina Gould speeches electoral reform - the second link
still doesn't seem to copy correctly.

Does anyone know who Karina is?  Certainly she is a rookie parliamentarian,
and first time cabinet minister, anything else?

Perhaps we will know more about her by tomorrow night.

And here is Karina again in September, as a guest on a local radio show
talking about the Electoral Reform town hall in Burlington:

Note that between June and Sept she learned her party talking points well.

Just a reminder that Fair Vote Waterloo is having a strategy meeting
at 7:00pm tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 January 2017 to discuss how we can
continue to let our Members of Parliament know that we still want
Electoral Reform. Everybody is welcome to attend! You don’t need to be
a member of Fair Vote, or have a degree in political science!

*What*: Fair Vote Waterloo 2017 New Year’s Strategy Meeting
*When*: Wednesday, 11 January 2017 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
*Where*: Sharon Sommerville’s dining room
*Location*: 85 Westmount Road South, Waterloo, Ontario
*Map*: http://osm.org/go/ZXna8VEB--?m=

Plenty of parking on Douglas Street, and you can come in at the back
door at the end of the driveway off Douglas.

There has been a most interesting development this week: A cabinet
shuffle has replaced Maryam Monsef as the Minister of Democratic
Institutions with rookie MP Karina Gould. We can discuss how this will
affect the Liberals’ promise of electoral reform.

- From the CBC:

Chrystia Freeland takes over Foreign Affairs as Trudeau shuffles
cabinet:

cabinet-shuffle-2017-1.3928723

The 3 new faces of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal cabinet:

> Gould, 29, is the youngest female cabinet minister in Canadian
> history.
>
> The Burlington, Ont., MP is an Oxford University graduate and a
> trade and investment specialist who worked for the Mexican Trade
> Commission before her foray into federal politics.

No other Western democratic country concentrates as much political power in
the hands of one person as Canada does with her Prime Minister.

Subject: [fvc-wat-disc] Kady O'Malley on Karina Gould
Kady O'Malley writes in the Ottawa Citizen:

If the fix was in on electoral reform, Monsef would still have her job:

http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/kady-if-the-fix-was-
in-on-electoral-reform-monsef-would-still-have-her-job

The workload for Karina Gould is very heavy - not only ER but Senate
reform, fixing the "Fair Elections Act", and new rules for money in
politics, says Kady.

She's a hard worker and sure-footed - my first impression - but she'll need
a lot of support.  How can we be welcoming and helpful?

Eleanor
