Someone's lying to the CBC. It's silly to suggest that London can
have ranked ballots without a referendum but Cambridge can't have
ranked ballots because they had a referendum.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cambridge Times reporter, Bill Doucet, wrote one
article prior to the election. He spoke to the CityClerk
and Barry Kay but didn't contact us. His article wasn't
the greatest. He contacted me last night after we sent
out a press release to say that the results aren't
binding. I invited him to do a follow up on the result
and he hasn't responded. Will have to pester them.
Expect that Luisa may write something in the next day or
so.</div>

Friends,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last night was a historic evening on three
fronts! London, used a ranked ballot to elect its
municipal government. A totally amazing moment.
Cambridge and Kingston both returned wins (yes,
wins!) on their municipal referendum questions to
use ranked ballots for future municipal elections.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Using ranked ballot to elect municipal
politicians is a small & important step in the
right direction. While ranked ballot by itself,
isn't a form of Proportional Representation,
voters will understand that electoral reform isn't
a crazy, radical idea. If ranked ballot is
applied to voting for four city councillors, it
would become a form of Single Transferable Vote
which is a form of Proportional Representation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Congratulations to all the activists for their
hard work and voters who believed that better is
possible: way to go!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best,</div>
<div>Sharon</div>
<div>for FVC-WR</div>
