Yes, that's the idea. I looked at the vote % in each riding, and painted in the other party colours in approximately the right amount. I tried to be artsy about it; so if the riding next to it voted for someone else, I'd make it look as if some of that other party bled in over the border. Also, I usually put PANB purple in between Liberal red and PC blue because red and blue blend to make purple. It was fun, like an art project.
Sadly, there's very little NDP orange on the map.
That¡¯s an interesting map, Vivian.
It looks like it¡¯s intended to represent portions of regions by the way they voted.

Thanks for the offer to host the petition, Anita. I'm happy to take you up on that as long as we can give people an opt-out if they want to sign the petition but they don't want to end up subscribed on FVC. For example, a checkbox they can uncheck. Also, will I be able to include an image? It's always good to have an image; pictures get people's attention. I want to do a meme with this image I made of the popular vote imposed?on a map (attached).
What do you all think about changing the wording to ask for a CA? It's true that the 2004 report is going on 17 years old. And of course, Brian Gallant's commission that recommended AV is best forgotten. So perhaps that's a better approach. This is good, Vivian!
Since it's not an official petition why bother with that humbly language at the end? People won't know why it's there.?
You can probably guess that I'd rather see an ask for a Citizens' Assembly without delay since as we've seen no government is just going to bring in PR and if we don't direct them to a good process we will inevitably get the made-to-fail process.?
While it's very important to acknowledge the 2004 report, it was almost 20 years ago now. It's sort of like there's no way the federal Liberals feel the least bit pressured because of the 2004 Law Commission report.
I'd definitely encourage you, when the group is ready, to have me put it on our civi platform. It's not as beautiful looking as a page like??but it means you are adding people to our database (getting emails) that you can communicate with in future - building FVC in NB so when you're ready to do a "next thing" like visit your MLA or lobby for a resolution at a convention there's a list of people to ask.
Glad to see you doing this!

Hi,
What do you think of this text for a petition? I'd like some feedback. You should be able to suggest edits, if I've set it up properly anyway.?
I'm not happy with the last sentence. It's long and clunky. I based it on the sample text that the NB government website suggests for petitions, and their version is way worse. But this is still bad. Rewording is welcome.
You can see the government's suggested text at? ?. It won't be an official petition because official petitions can only be on paper, so we don't have to follow their formula, which is incredibly butt-kissing and shows no sign of having been updated for the new millennium.
Thanks, -- ?Vivian Unger
