[fvc-wat-disc] Fwd: Election Day In Canada: When Voter Suppression Came To Call

[Catherine Campbell]

Jenn, That’s too bad. I’m canvassing and delivering literature in the election. So hopefully it’ll be screened After the election so party and Fair Vote volunteers can see it. Do you think your daughter or son could deliver some Fair Vote door hangers? It finally suck in to me in the last week that the Liberals aren’t even Offering electoral reform this election. That’s after Doug Ford got 41 percent of the votes but 60 percent of  the seats and is reversing 16 years of progressive Liberal Party legislation. Ford’s cuts cost my son $2,000 in OSAP grants like he received last year but didn’t for second year.
