<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>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT
size=2>"Cooperate for Canada" is the </FONT></FONT><EM><FONT
face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT size=2>first event in
Canada</FONT></FONT></EM><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT size=2> in which
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>
