Great to see the work of @FairVoteCanada pay off in the form of @theJagmeetSingh's letter to @JustinTrudeau calling on him to establish a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform #ElectoralReform. How about it, @liberal_party, @CPC_HQ, @CanadianGreens, @BlocQuebecois?

Great to see an article in the Globe and Mail on the #charterchallenge (theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…). Thanks Prof. David Beatty! (law.utoronto.ca/faculty-staf…) #ProportionalRepresentation

A huge thanks to all who worked so hard on this campaign. The results are disappointing, but also at significant odds with polling results. We know that half of British Columbians still feel disenfranchised by our current system, and this will need to change. #pr4bc #bcpoli
