<br>printed in the Record on April 4 on the upcoming referendum. It<br>pretended to be a fair article, but Urquhart played several tricks to<br>cast uncertainty and doubt about changing our electoral system. He<br>complained about the increase in the number of MPPs, the desire of the
<br>OCA to "make history", the idea that proportional representation comes<br>at the expense of good government, and the undesireability of letting<br>small parties get any seats in legislature. He also conflated minority
<br>governments with coalition governments, calling "majority coalition" an<br>oxymoron (which it is, but not for the reason he implies).<br><br>         My thinking is that we should be responding to stuff like this.
<br><br>         Do you think it is worth writing some letters to the editor at<br>this late date? Is there other local coverage that we should know about?<br><br><br>--<br>Paul Nijjar - <a href="http://www.fairvotecanada.org/WaterlooRegion">
