Hi everyone: For the first Discussion Night in 2018 Dave Arthur will
be giving an overview of thresholds in proportional election systems:
How do we keep the extremists out? What’s the minimum percentage of
votes a party should get before they’re granted a seat in parliament?
How many votes does it take before a party is no longer considered
extreme?

*What*: Fair Vote Waterloo Discussion Night on Thresholds
*When*: Wednesday, 31 January 2018 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
*Where*: Community Meeting Room, Bread & Roses Co-op
*Location*: 307 Queen Street South, Kitchener
*Map*: https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTLMg--?m=


As well, we’re un-celebrating the anniversary of the official
announcement of the Liberals’ broken promise when Prime Minister
Trudeau released the mandate letter for the Honourable Karina Gould:
 > There has been tremendous work by the House of Commons Special
Committee on Electoral Reform, outreach by Members of Parliament by
all parties, and engagement of 360,000 individuals in Canada through
mydemocracy.ca. 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*.



Parking:
