National Day of Action

Hamilton Chapter Council of Canadians takes part in National Day of Action on Electoral Reform

Members from LeadNow and the Hamilton Chapter of the Council of Canadians outside Filomena Tassi’s office during the National Day of Action on Tuesday December 13th.

 

LeadNow organized a National Day of Action on Tuesday, December 13th, 2016.

The National Day of Action was directed at Liberal MPs across the country and focused on asking them to keep their party’s campaign promise to make 2015  the last federal election conducted under the First-Past-The-Post electoral system.

Members from the Hamilton Chapter – Council of Canadians and local LeadNow members gathered at noon outside the Constituency office of Filomena Tassi, Liberal MP for Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas.

We delivered a Christmas card to Ms. Tassi from “Canadians who support proportional representation and electoral reform”.

The Liberal government seems to be backing off their campaign promise on electoral reform and the National Day of Action was intended to send a clear message to the Prime Minister and his government that we want the Liberal Party of Canada to keep its promise on electoral reform.
