[fvc-wat-disc] Justin Trudeau rally in Cambridge tomorrow

[Dave Arthur]

At least he admitted it was because it wasn’t ranked ballot or alternative vote that he was willing to cancel the whole thing.
The question of consensus or lack of it that was the reason he stopped the process is up for question.
What exactly was the split on his committee?
Were the Liberal  committee members told to go against PR?
He obviously was unwilling to go with evidence from the 88% of witnesses who recommended PR or the 90% of developed democracies who use it.
He also incorrectly said that changing to PR would be forever.
Countries like New Zealand went with MMP with the condition that another referendum after a couple elections would ask whether to continue.

Yup.  Excellent PM.  If only he didn't lie to us.

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

I have to say, even though I disagree with some things the LIbs have done (there are many things they have done that I agree with ... 'fee and dividend' carbon tax, EU trade deal, handling Trump in the new NAFTA deal), is that we have a fine PM. His interaction and attitude displayed in this Town Hall makes me proud of him as our PM (I know this irks my NDP friends, but I feel he is a man of real quality)

Here's the video from the town hall. https://youtu.be/cGEq-iIRPXs Electoral reform was brought up twice, once on its own (and very well asked) at the 1:00:30 mark and once by Andrew Moraga, the NDP Kitchener Centre candidate at the 1:39:30 mark, as part of a multi part question.

I found the townhall useful (as someone who doesn't follow Canadian politics). I expected exclusively non-answers but Justin Trudeau gave concise answers to questions I didn't expect him to (for instance he's against BDS).

Unfortunately, I didn't get to ask my non-electoral-reform-related question.



Hello FairVoting Friends,

Hope to see you tomorrow at the Remind Justin Trudeau rally at St. Benedict's Catholic Secondary School in Cambridge!  

What:  Rally
When: Tuesday, April 16th
            5:30 - till you want to go home
Where: St. Benedict's Catholic Secondary School
             50 Saginaw Parkway
             Cambridge
Why:     Because it is 2019 and we still don't have a fair                   electoral system

Let's make a lot of noise and send a strong message to our Prime Minister that he should have kept his promise to make every vote count. 

Best regards,

Sharon 
for FVC-WR
