      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>

                    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>
