Citizens lining up for information at the Fair Vote Canada booth
{Afrofest, 2012)

As more Canadians become aware of the inequity inherent in our obsolete winner-take-all electoral system, the brighter the future looks for our kids.

Proportional representation will help make Canada’s democracy work for all Canadians. Visit Fair Vote Canada to sign the Voter’s Bill of Rights. This grassroots movement is spreading, so chances are there will be a local chapter near you.

(And if not, you could start one!)

2012 was my first visit to AfroFest, held in Waterloo Park, but the excellence of the music and dance will bring me back next year.
