    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Edward:<br>
      <br>
      All the Mainstream Media is opposed to Proportional Representation
      because it profits from the Status Quo.  In spite of this,
      Waterloo Region has been getting an exceptional amount of coverage
      of PR.    <br>
      <br>
      CTV actually covered the Green Party Electoral Reform
      Consultation, the Waterloo Region February 11th Liberal Betrayal
      Rally *and* the Reminding Liberals protest the other night.<br>
      <br>
      The record has not only been publishing letters but more than one
      positive article as well as OpEds.  <br>
      <br>
      I'm inclined to believe it is more important for PR letters to be
      published in the printed paper, because people who don't get their
      news online have had less much exposure to PR precisely because
      the MSM has been suppressing it.<br>
      <br>
      Any letters that are printed in physical newspapers but not online
      can still appear online, posted on the FVC WRC website.  <br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
      Laurel<br>
