<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the reply - I definitely appreciate it. :)</div><div><br></div><div>I have also been left wondering what I'm missing. From what I have seen, a simple request has turned into some significant accusations. To me, this risks taking us off topic and creating other problems. If people are coming to the meeting viewing Bardish as a corrupt politician, I'm really concerned that will creep into the approach, even if people try to cover it up. That would be a loss for everybody, in my opinion.We may disagree with her on a policy piece, but there is nothing to be gained by going in viewing her as someone who engages in political intimidation - if anything, that approach will result in a poorly worded pitch, and create exactly the defensiveness we are already accusing her of. </div><div><br></div><div>So, from my perspective, I see a simple misunderstanding (which, as far I can tell, nobody has tried to clear up with Bardish's office), and an opportunity to engage in a respectful policy discussion with a real human being, who is, presumably, doing her best in the midst of challenging circumstances. Doesn't mean everybody likes every decision - that's what discussion and accountability are for. :)</div><div><br></div><div> If the group is approaching Bardish with a positive perspective (as a human being, who we agree with on many things, and are nudging a change on one thing), instead of a politician who is out to intimidate and suppress opposition, I am very happy to be part of the meeting. I have always found her lovely to work with, even through some challenging times. I hope to see that continue. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Just my thoughts, </div><div><br></div><div>SJM</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 11:12 AM Corliss Olson <<a href="mailto:cpolson11@gmail.com">cpolson11@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hello everyone,<br><br></div>I have been following this discussion, & have indicated that I am also interested in attending this meeting with Ms. Chagger if I am available at the time.

<br>
It's a relief that you seem to have decided not to be intimidated.
Since I live in Kitchener, it seems I've been uninvited to Ms
Chaggar's gathering. <br>
<br>
When you get to Bardish's office have your points all ready.
Here's a sample of stuff you might want to talk about:<br>
<ul>
<li>As far as we can tell from polls and our own door-knocking
campaign, approximately 2/3 of the voters want the government
to keep Trudeau's promise of 2015.</li>
<li>The main reason for all this is fairness. As much as
possible we want a system fair to parties (number of seats
proportional to a party's actual support), fair to candidates
(no need for strategic voting), and fair to voters (nearly all
votes should help some candidate get elected).<br>
</li>
<li>There is still time to get PR installed for the 2019
election, but the government will have to reverse their
reversal soon. <br>
</li>
<li>However, there is no longer enough time to redraw the
election map. This means that MMP and all its variations can't
be considered if we want a fair election in 2019. That leaves
only a 2-level open list system or one of the many variants of
STV.</li>
<li>Any sort of PR will cost the Liberals some seats, based on
2015 results. but it would give them more seats based on 2011
results. But since there will be minority governments nearly
all the time, the Liberals could find themselves on the
government side more or less perpetually, but they will have
to share it.<br>
</li>
<li>PR will also give all national parties some MPs from all
parts of Canada.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks. I'm only partially following
this discussion.. but if it's that Bardish's office
wants the names and addresses of all attendees, so
that they will only allow people who live in the
riding to attend, in organizing MP visits with
Liberals across the country in the past 1-2 years,
that's pretty common practice for the assistant to
require that. Sometimes you can give them a few names
and addresses and then kinda add other people in who
just show up with you. But they don't want to deal
with non-constituents.

<p>Yes, indeed. Anything other than a polite
approach to a politician is completely
counter-productive. Perhaps simply asking for
clarification? That could present the
opportunity to say that we find a requirement
of details on the visiting group
unprecedented.<br>
</p>
<p>Based on 13 years of association with Fair
Vote and other groups here in Waterloo, plus
years in Alberta, I would say such a request
is unprecedented. And it's for that reason
that I find asking for names and addresses
odd. Definitely "intimidation" comes in
different forms in different countries (I've
worked in several where intimidation could
mean really bad things - for me up to and
including a wall and a sub-machine gun in one
country and being chased by armed goons
through the night in another). But in
Canadian terms.......... My reaction to Stu's
email was that "intimidating" was a reasonable
word for him to have used, in the sense of
inducing anxiety.<span class="m_-539243175289284113m_-4951639944841299373m_133367381446398285HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>Thank you for the responses. I am
all in favour of pushing MPs
(respectfully), on policy issues. My
only concern with how this email
thread was going was that it seemed to
be veering into territory that seemed
unnecessarily harsh and negative - if
we see our MP as treating people as
second class citizens and intimidation
etc, those are big claims, and I
hesitate to throw them around lightly.
(I've lived places where that is a
real threat, and that kind of stuff
actually does happen, and it looks
very different from this - trust me!
:)) Not that there isn't maybe a way
that Bardish could have handled this
better, but jumping to intimidation
just seems unrealistic to me -
especially since, as far I can tell,
nobody has even asked her why she
wanted the info. Feels like a lot of
negative speculation that is very thin
on facts. :)</div>

<div>Why would we confront Bardish (even
if it is done politely) and tell her
that some people didn't like her
request, and are accusing her of
intimidation, when we haven't even
bothered to ask her why she asked for
the info in the first place? Shouldn't
we learn more first?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let's have a great chat with
Bardish about PR and policy, and be
smart and clear-headed about it. Let's
not jump to falsely positive
conclusions (overly naive), but let's
also not jump to falsely negative
conclusions (overly cynical). </div>

<div>Hi Stephanie (and all) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I, for one, certainly value
your viewpoint. It's good to know
you've had a positive experience
working with Bardish's office. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally, I always approach
life from the perspective of
"Expect the Best", so, I want
there to be no misunderstanding of
my intent. I agree 100% that we
should approach EVERY meeting with
ANY person or group from that
positive perspective. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, I believe it is wise
to consider all factors before
such a meeting, so as not to be
blind-sided by something that, in
retrospect we should have seen
coming. And we are left standing
with mouths agape, not knowing
what say in response. I also
believe it is possible to say
challenging things in very
respectful ways. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In my opinion, the best way to
approach this would be to
respectfully advise her office of
how the email is being received by
some people, and to add the
assurance that we imagine that
reaction was not intended.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have identified 3 reactions:
1) surprise and concern over the
introduction of a new practice in
the visit to the MP's office. 2)
the feeling of intimidation
generated. 3) the feeling of
possible exclusion (or being
considered 2nd-class) if a
prospective visitor lives in a
different riding. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As we are a group that is
focused on the promotion of
increased Democracy, I suggest
that before we passively accept a
new practice by an MP, we consider
if it is likely to advance the
cause of Democracy (and access to
MPs) or more likely to have the
opposite effect. To me, this
seems to have the opposite effect.
And an MP should be respectfully
advised. </div>

<div>Sincerely. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div> </div>
<div>I'll add my thoughts in
here, if you don't mind. I am
not a particular fan of the
liberals (I'm NDP/Green) - but
I have had several issues
where I have been working with
Bardish's office (here and
Ottawa) for the last year or
so. She and her staff have
been extremely polite,
positive and helpful, while
working with me on big
questions, despite there being
no immediate fix available.
(On another issue, they worked
very hard with me over several
weeks and found an immediate
solution, which was great!)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe she really is trying
to secretly intimidate the
opposition by getting
logistical info, or maybe this
is a simple misunderstanding
that is being escalated every
time someone else responds in
the email thread. If so, I am
sure that any meeting we might
get with her in this issue
will be compromised if we go
in assuming the worst. How can
we expect to work for positive
change if we are so convinced
of such negative things about
her, based on so little info?
If that is how the meeting is
going to be started, then I'd
rather not be a part of it,
since I already have a great
working relationship with her
and her staff, and I don't
want to jeopardize it with
these negative assumptions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All I'm saying is that I
would give the benefit of the
doubt and get more info before
assuming intimidation... :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope that helps,</div>

<div>Holy crap!! More
proof that Bardish has a
HUGE amount of nerve,
and indulges in
covert/overt
intimidation (although
I'm sure she would
cleverly try to sell it
as "genuine interest in
her constituants". I
have no doubt that she
has a pretty clear sense
of the effect that
"interest" (in having
the names and addresses
of those interested in
visiting her office -
particularly if coming
with intent to complain
or challenge) would have
on anyone so inclined. <br>
