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 href="https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTLMg--?m=" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTLMg--?<wbr>m=</a><br><br>Parking:
If you're driving, place a note on the dashboard of
your<br>vehicle:<br><br> *Meeting in Community Room re Apt 107 from
7-9pm*<br><br>and park in the north lot, on the other side of the
Morrison-Reist<br>building - map: <a href="https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTL0rw--?m=" rel="noreferrer" 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 href="http://www.freshwateralliance.ca/no_waters_left_behind" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.freshwateralliance.<wbr>ca/no_waters_left_behind</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
