European Movement looking for support to increase Canada-EU
Sharing this widely, long overdue and we need to grow these relationships quickly!
You're viewing a single thread.
The odds of Canada joining the EU are technically non-zero but pretty damn close.
We defnitely need closer EU ties, but joining the EU probably isnt gonna happen.
Canada has hummed and hawwed about electoral reform for decades. It just hasn't been worth the required political capital to make it happen for any of the leaders.
This could be key to finally getting it done.
The election of EU representatives is separate from the election of representatives in parliament. Canada could end up like the UK was (in the good old days), with PR for the European elections and FPTP for its own national elections.
In either case (EU or no EU), we must push for the government to implement proportional representation, and that starts by getting organized: [email protected].
I was already subbed lol, I'm also on the mailing list.
My MP voted for M-86 and I volunteered for them last cycle. I don't really know what else to do.
I wrote this post about the objectives of the fairvote community.
As far as I know, [email protected] is the only online community dedicated towards this cause.
So a lot of the current work is building the movement, and getting those that already support the movement organized.
We know a federal election is coming up, and the more this movement grows, the more politicians will bend to our demands (as they should in a democracy).
What is your affiliation with the Fairvote organization?
I have volunteered with them in the past on two separate occasions.
I've never been paid by them or am contractually bound to them in any way shape or form, and this is still true at this point in time.
