Remembering the War To End All Wars
The best way to honour the memories of all the Canadians who have given their lives in war would be to make war the absolute last resort.
A hundred years later, Canada’s involvement in foreign wars has been for most of the 21st Century. This isn’t remembering.
Friday’s Petition Crew
To encourage the Liberals to keep their promise to reform our electoral system,on Friday afternoon (November 10th, 2017) we delivered our 500+ signature Fair Vote petition to Kitchener Centre MP Raj Saini. We had a brief opportunity to meet with Mr. Saini to explain our frustrations with his government’s failure to deliver on their oft repeated Electoral Reform Promise.
Mr Saini told us the only reason he voted against accepting the ERRE report was the inclusion of a referendum. (Of course, had the Liberals on the ERRE Committee had been willing to work across party lines with the Greens and NDP there would have been no need for the inclusion of a referendum in the report.) He did, however, promise to submit the Petition to the House of Commons.
In case you’ve forgotten, this is what Mr. Saini had to say about electoral reform before he was elected MP.
