> I'll give you a heads up that it's a bummer - not the kind of webinar I want to do so I've been procrastinating a bit. But nothing compared to the kind of heartbreak you get when the results come in and you really thought this time would be different...and the consequences of a lost referendum.

> It is a bit of a longer presentation (takes about 40 minutes for me to walk through it and as it's the first time you'll see me looking at my notes...).

> I'm going to be joined for the Q+A by Professor Lawrence Leduc, who's an expert in referendums, citizens' assemblies and electoral reform.
> 
> At 8:30 PM we'll be repeating the webinar in French, this time led by Gisela, with Jean-Sébastien Dufresne, who is on our board, joining her for Q+A. 
> 
> On a happier note, next winter or spring we'll be doing another on the power of Citizens' Assemblies! I wanted to be able to offer both together as a series (the dark side and light side :) but it didn't work out that way since I'm still chasing a new guest speaker on CAs.
