<div dir="ltr">Hi Stu,<div><br></div><div>The poll results confirm what we are seeing door to door as well. We are getting about a 70% sign up rate to the <span class="" id=":wd.1" tabindex="-1">Leadnow</span> petition which asks Raj to support the upcoming <span class="" id=":wd.2" tabindex="-1">NDP</span> motion for parliament to adopt the <span class="" id=":wd.3" tabindex="-1">ERRE</span> committee's recommendations. Some of us on the <span class="" id=":wd.5" tabindex="-1">VoteBetter</span> campaign are veterans of the 2015 <span class="" id=":wd.6" tabindex="-1">VoteTogether</span> campaign and the response at the door is more positive than asking people to vote strategically to remove Harper. Given the goal in 2015, we are amazed at the support for asking Raj to advocate for PR. Amazed, excited and encouraged!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for spreading the word!</div><div><br></div><div>Have a great day,</div><div>Sharon</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 5:50 AM, STUART CHANDLER <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stuchandler43@gmail.com" target="_blank">stuchandler43@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="en-US" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:initial"> <div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Thanks Sharon. </div><div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">SUPER results!</div><div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-size:initial;text-align:initial;line-height:initial">Spreading the word. </span></div><div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-size:initial;text-align:initial;line-height:initial"><br></span></div><div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-size:initial;text-align:initial;line-height:initial">Stu. </span></div> <div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br style="display:initial"></div> <div style="font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Sent from my BlackBerry 10 <wbr>smartphone on the Rogers <wbr>network.</div> <table width="100%" style="background-color:white;border-spacing:0px"> <tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="font-size:initial;text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> <div style="border-style:solid none none;border-top-color:rgb(181,196,223);border-top-width:1pt;padding:3pt 0in 0in;font-family:Tahoma,'BB Alpha Sans','Slate Pro';font-size:10pt"> <div><b>From: </b>Sharon Sommerville</div><div><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, May 14, 2017 10:01 PM</div><div><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:fvc-wat-disc@listserv.thinkers.org" target="_blank">fvc-wat-disc@listserv.<wbr>thinkers.org</a>; <a href="mailto:fvc-wat-announce@listserv.thinkers.org" target="_blank">fvc-wat-announce@listserv.<wbr>thinkers.org</a></div><div><b>Reply To: </b>FVC Waterloo Region Discussion</div><div><b>Subject: </b>[fvc-wat-disc] FVC releases poll that confirms Cdns. want PR</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div><div class="h5"><div style="border-style:solid none none;border-top-color:rgb(186,188,209);border-top-width:1pt;font-size:initial;text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"></div><br><div id="m_3258866497403955811_originalContent"><div dir="ltr">Good Evening <span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.10">FairVoting</span> Friends,<div><br></div><div>Last week <span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.11">FairVote</span> Canada released the results of a poll done by Strategic Communications between April 22 - May 9th. 15, 806 people were surveyed in 20 Liberal <span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.12">ridings</span> and the results confirm that there is a consensus in support of proportion representation.</div><div><br></div><div>Closer to home, results from Kitchener Centre are clear; 82% of respondents support proportional representation and 75% of respondents want Raj <span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.14">Saini</span> to advocate for PR in Parliament.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is the report from Strategic Communications:</div><div><br></div><div><b style="line-height:1.22em;font-family:georgia;font-size:13px"><a href="http://www.fairvote.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Fair-Vote-Canada-IVR-May-10-2017-By-Question.pdf" style="line-height:1.22em" target="_blank">http://www.<span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.15">fairvote</span>.ca/<span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.16">wp</span>-cont<wbr>ent/uploads/2017/05/Fair-Vote-<wbr>Canada-<span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.17">IVR</span>-May-10-2017-By-<wbr>Question.<span id="m_3258866497403955811:1b3.18">pdf</span></a></b><br></div><div><br></div><div>Can you help spread the word that Kitchener Centre wants electoral reform?
