Topic

What Went Wrong - Learning From Past Attempts at Electoral Reform

Description

From Trudeau’s pledge to end first past the post to referendums in both Ontario and BC, recent electoral reform initiatives in Canada have failed to change our voting systems.

To learn from these initiatives and understand why they failed, join Fair Vote Toronto for a webinar with Laura Stephenson, Professor of Political Science, Western University and David Moscrop, Political Commentator & Host, 'Open To Debate'.

Our speakers will discuss the influence of political interests and public opinion, shed light on committees, citizens’ assemblies and referenda used to make decisions, and most vitally, share their views on how to improve our strategies as electoral reform advocates to overcome past obstacles.
