Hi again, folks. ?Anita Nickerson has kindly agreed to set me up to host a New Brunswick meeting of folks wanting to send a Christmas card to Santa Justin expressing our wish to receive a PR electoral system from the Jolly Old Elf this Christmas.
These are the details:
Date: Friday, December 11th, 2020
Time: 8:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time. ?(I expect to email the invitation to join about ten minutes before then; please sign in at least five minutes early so that I can admit you to the event on time.)
Link:?
Passcode for meeting: 245368
All you neeed to participate is a Christmas Card to send to Mr. Trudeau, which you will hold up beside your face (to be included in a huge collage of PR supporters).
The meeting is expected to last only about ten minutes, perhaps less.
You can join at the last minute, if you wish. ?The more the merrier. ?Your family, friends, pets, etc. are all welcome!
If you have any friends who wish to be included in the invitation, please send me the email address for them by noon on Friday.
Hope you can join us for this virtual flash mob.
Yours in common cause.
John Filliter
Great!
So pick a day and time - Thursday evening or Friday evening. At this late stage, I'd suggest John just pick whichever one he can show up for because we're out of time for doodle polls.?
Feel free to invite family and pets (seriously - Gisela has given us some nice pictures with dogs).?
Halifax Rick invited his family so there would be enough people for a photo - whatever works!?
What we're doing is putting human faces of people who want a Citizens'?Assembly on Electoral?Reform on the 8300 cards that are going to Trudeau already.?
On December 12 we'll be sharing all the pictures on social media (facebook, twitter and Instagram) at this hashtag #MakeYourVoiceHeard.
Jenice Atwin has made a short video saying "yay" (basically) we will share, and I am awaiting similar videos promised by Nathaniel and Daniel (fingers crossed!)
We're also doing this in parallel with our UK counterparts - Make Votes Matter - same hashtag that day - so the idea is to get that hashtag busy!
As soon as I get a date and time I'll set it your meeting and we can all share the link with whoever might be persuaded to come!?
You can bring a regular holiday card or print off a picture of the one you ordered online or make something - it doesn't matter. (If you get really creative as a few people have, we'll share a close up of your card, too! :)
Thanks again, everyone!
Anita
