[fvc-wat-disc] Latest liberal tactic

[Jennifer Ross]

In my opinion, I think it is one of tone-deafness.  They aren't thinking of
it now since it just isn't something they consider.  And, once back in
power, it is an evil that elects extremists.  Fair Vote Canada did tweet
back to Wynne about why PR is important to get her to consider it, but I
think Wynne has always been a soft supporter anyway.  It isn't her, its
everybody else!  But, I don't have friends in high places, either.

I'd like to know whether my messaging Dianne Verneil at this point (two
days before she loses her job) is being an asshole/rubbing it in/no
compassion sort of thing, or whether it might give her the "ah-hah"
moment.  Do I care what she thinks of me?  No, not much.  I do care I'm not
completely seen as a total asshole by the Liberal riding association in
general though.  Maybe I already am in which case I have nothing to lose,
but KNOWING I'm doing that to myself is not something I would particularly
like to do.  I expect you've all heard that I'm the only person in the
years Dianne Verneil has been our MPP, that has ever mentioned it to her?
LOL!!!  (i.e., not true)

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