On Sunday September 14, there will be a non-partisan rally planned by local organizers at Waterloo Town Square (Uptown Waterloo) to show support for Proportional Representation. The rally theme is Better Late Than Never.
The rally begins at 1:30 with time to gather, and make posters to show support for PR.
Speeches at 2:00 PM will be from:
- Aislinn Clancy (MPP for Kitchener-Centre and Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Ontario)
- Mike Morrice (former MP for Kitchener-Centre)
- Mike Schreiner (MPP for Guelph and leader of the Green Party of Ontario)
- Fair Vote Canada
and others.
Now is the time to speak up! Although Justin Trudeau broke his often-repeated promise to Canadians that the 2015 election would be the last under the first-past-the-post system, there is still strong support for the idea – even among those in power. After stepping down as Liberal leader, Trudeau shared that his one regret leading up to the 2025 election was not being able to change the way we elect our governments in this country 1 . Mark Carney has also spoken positively about electoral reform and has shared openness to addressing “those more structural issues in our democracy” 2 .
We are rallying to show that Canadians from across the political spectrum have not forgotten this broken promise, and that now is the time to act. More than ever, we need a strong democracy, with elected officials who reflect the will of the people, and where every citizen’s vote counts equally. We hope that you will join us!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, anytime.
Thank you,
