Hi folks:<br><br>It's all about how you market it. If it's a talk about democratic renewal, <br>and linked to the whole proroguing parliament issue, I think there would<br>be a lot of interest.<br><br>Kevin.<br><br>

Hi Anita, We had Larry come out to Wilfrid Laurier University to do a public talk about 5 months prior to the MMP Referendum and the turn out then was very poor!! I don't think we would get a good turnout right now!!<br>

Hey, Shannon. Good to hear from you! It was actually Bob - bless his heart!! -<br>
that wrote the message and requested I send it out!<br>
<br>
Shannon, what do you think about organizing something like London did, where we<br>
have Larry Gordon come do a public talk? I'm willing to do as much publicity as<br>
I can. I'd just be worried about getting enough people to show up to make it<br>
worth his while.<br>
<br>
