<pre>Hi everyone! For our upcoming Discussion Night on Wednesday, 29 August
2018 we'll be discussing the results of the provincial election in June.
I invite anyone who has done some analysis of the election to make a
short presentation. For example, if you've calculated how the seats
would have been distributed with an STV voting system, or which
electoral districts hold the most voting power, or how few votes it
might have taken to swing only a few ridings to change the outcome...
The format will be a 10 minute presentation of your analysis, followed
by a 10 minute Q&A. We've got a couple of people already lined up, and
I suspect we'll have no trouble filling the two hours of Discussion
Night with, um, discussion.
In other news: October is filled with Electoral Reform referenda
throughout Canada! There's one in British Columbia:

For our Discussion Night on Wednesday, 26 September 2018 we'll meet at
the Blackwing Coffee Bar in Cambridge, and meet up with the "Yes!
Cambridge" campaign team, who are advocating for a "Yes" answer to the
question "Are you in favour of the City of Cambridge using a ranked
ballot voting system for the 2022 municipal election?" We can also
discuss how to provide support to the other referenda taking place in
Canada.
