PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<BR>Hash: SHA1<BR><BR>Hi Fair Voters: This month,
the regular date for the Fair Vote<BR>Waterloo Discussion Night falls on
the same day as the KW Council of<BR>Canadians meeting. But rather than
making you choose one or the other,<BR>we're holding a joint
meeting!<BR><BR>There is considerable overlap in the membership of our
groups, and one<BR>of the Council of Canadians' campaigns is Electoral
Reform. This joint<BR>meeting is one way that we can offer support to
CoC.<BR><BR>This is also an opportunity for FairvoteWRC members who
haven't heard<BR>about Council of Canadians, and might like to join that
organization.<BR>And, of course, it's an introduction to FairvoteWRC for
CoC members<BR>who would like to get involved with FairvoteWRC in a
focused campaign<BR>solely on electoral reform.<BR><BR><BR>*What*: Joint
meeting of @FairvoteWRC and KW Council of Canadians @KWCofC<BR>*When*:
Wednesday, 25 October 2017 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm<BR>*Where*: Community
Meeting Room, Bread & Roses Co-op<BR>*Location*: 307 Queen Street
South, Kitchener, Ontario<BR>*Map*: <A

target=_blank>https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTL0rw--<WBR>?m=</A><BR><BR><BR>There's
no fixed agenda for this meeting, but the following are points<BR>for
discussion:<BR><BR>There will be a town hall meeting sponsored by the
Canadian Labour<BR>Congress on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, 6:30 pm and St.
David’s<BR>Catholic Secondary School, 4 High St, Waterloo featuring
Kitchener-<BR>Waterloo MPP Catherine Fife, Ontario Health Coalition
Executive<BR>Director Natalie Mehra, and other local politicians. We urge
all who<BR>can get there to attend.<BR><BR><BR>Several of us attended the
CoC Guelph meeting on 18 October at which<BR>Maude Barlow and Gus Van
Harten spoke eloquently about the dangers of<BR>NAFTA and its implications
for water rights. This provided a number of<BR>ideas we can talk about
regarding further advocacy and actions.<BR><BR> * Van Harten urged
everyone present to write to Office of the<BR>Minister of Foreign Affairs
at <A href="mailto:chrystia.freeland@international.gc.ca"
target=_blank>chrystia.freeland@internationa<WBR>l.gc.ca</A><BR>and ask
her with due respect to get Canada out of ISDS<BR><BR><BR>Philippe
Charbonneau (Political Team Admin Assistant in Ottawa) asks<BR>if chapters
would be interested in screening a new documentary on the<BR>cooperative
enterprise model called A Silent Transformation that<BR>features Maude
Barlow ‒ <A href="http://asilenttransformation.ca/" rel=noreferrer
target=_blank>http://asilenttransformation.c<WBR>a/</A> There
would<BR>be a small fee. If there is sufficient interest, we will ask
for<BR>further details.<BR><BR><BR>The Liberal government has not kept the
campaign promise to restore<BR>protection to the 99% of lakes and rivers
removed from the schedule of<BR>protected waters under the Harper
government. CoC chapters are urged<BR>to call on Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau and Transport Minister Marc<BR>Garneau for protection of a local
lake or river. For further details<BR>see <A

10 November 2017 at 3:30pm, FairvoteWRC will present a<BR>petition in
support of proportional representation to MP Raj Saini at<BR>his
Constituency Office (Suite 202 - 209 Frederick Street,
Kitchener.<BR>Electoral reform is one of the areas in which CoC and
FairvoteWRC<BR>overlap, and the more we can coordinate our efforts, the
more likely<BR>we are to succeed. All are invited to
attend.<BR><BR><BR>The FairvoteWRC Outreach subcommittee is reaching out
to faith-based<BR>communities to build awareness of and allies on the
issue of<BR>proportional representation (PR) in the community. Their goals
are to<BR><BR>* create awareness of FairvoteWRC<BR><BR>* offer an
opportunity to further educate about the issue<BR><BR>* invite endorsement
of our work with an invitation to engage or join<BR>with us in the
future<BR><BR><BR>On 1 February 2017 the mandate letter for the Hon.
Kristina Gould,<BR>Minister of Democratic Institutions was released,
marking the first<BR>official announcement that the Liberals would be
breaking their<BR>promise that "2015 will be the last election under First
Past The<BR>Post". FairvoteWRC intends to hold an event (protest, rally,
public<BR>information meeting) to remind people, and especially the
Liberals,<BR>that we have not forgotten the promise, and that we'll be
holding the<BR>Liberals to account.<BR><BR><BR>Every year FairvoteWRC
tries to hold several public information events<BR>during the winter
months. We could bring in a speaker, show a movie,<BR>or hold a seminar to
explain the mechanics of proportional<BR>representation. Sometimes these
events are held as part of Discussion<BR>Nights; sometimes they're held
separately. The Kitchener Public<BR>Library has been a suitable venue in
the past.<BR><BR><BR>See you on Wednesday!<BR><BR>- --Bob
