<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT size=2>You
may be interested in a groundbreaking event we’re convening this Thursday
in Kitchener-Waterloo.<BR></FONT></FONT><BR><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT
size=2>NDP leadership candidate Nathan Cullen has attracted attention by
proposing the unthinkable – opposition party cooperation. He wants the NDP,
Liberals and Greens to run jointly nominated candidates to defeat
the Conservative federal government and bring in democratic voting
reform. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT
size=2>Leadnow.ca just floated the party cooperation idea to their
supporters, first on social media and then in a survey to their 80,000
supporters. Based on an overwhelming "yes", they have just launched the
campaign "Cooperate for Canada", which has gained thousands of supporters in a
few days. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT
size=2>Apparently ordinary Canadians are willing not only to
support party cooperation but to join the NDP, Liberal and Green parties to
bend the ears of the people whot make the decisions. Grassroots groups are
springing up across Canada to help launch this initiative.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT size=2>The
parties may not be happy about this, but voters want a Parliament which works
for them.</FONT></FONT></P>

size=2>"Cooperate for Canada" is the </FONT></FONT><EM><FONT

someone from each of the centre-left parties, plus Leadnow, will speak
publicly about the need <FONT face="Bauhaus 93">to explore </FONT>party
cooperation to defeat the Conservatives and show how it can be
done.</FONT></FONT></P>
