[fvc-wat-disc] Article linking electoral reform with Liberal's plan to subsidize news media

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hi Peter,

Appreciated the article; thank you!  Which comes first the interest or the
information?  One could argue that we currently have neither in this
country.

Side bar; a number of years ago FVC-WR screened Sean's documentary,
"Whipped",  with a panel on the issue of whipped votes. Sean was present
and participated as a panelist.  It was a part of our ongoing efforts to
raise the bar on civic literacy; a fundamental issue that this article
addresses.

Kind regards,
Sharon
