If you have questions about the government’s plans to change our voting system, we’ve got answers. Today we are launching VoteBetter.ca - a new website in support of Leadnow’s campaign for proportional representation.
VoteBetter.ca is a hub of information on proportional representation (PR) - what it is, why we need it, and what you can do to help make it happen. It’s a one-stop-shop for anyone who wants to know more about the potential upcoming changes to our voting system and join the movement to make every vote count.
We know that there’s been a lot happening on voting reform in the last few months, and we wanted to make it easy to get caught up.

Subject: Fwd: ACTION NEEDED
First we wish to thank those who have contributed to the rent of the CAIA Billboard. The donations are allowing us to plan for several months. HOWEVER........
Our Duncan billboard has attracted the the attention of people wishing to deny the rights of the indigenous Palestinians. They convinced the Cowichan Nation to insist the billboard sign be removed. The usual misinformation that the wording was racist was apparently given. In deference to and with respect to the Cowichan Band, CAIA Active Committee decided to comply and take the billboard down until we could meet with the Band Council.
We have yet been unable to meet with the Council. SO WE ASK OUR SUPPORTERS TO EMAIL, MAIL OR TELEPHONE IN SUPPORT OF OUR BILLBOARD.
Please do so with respect. Explain that the Palestinians are the indigenous people suffering colonialism as the natives of North America have. ...

A huge blow to Enbridge and Kinder Morgan
- Details
- Published on Friday, 08 July 2016 15:00
- Written by editor
Last week, two pivotal announcements were made regarding the Enbridge Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipelines that we’d like to share with you.
Update on Enbridge - Huge Victory for First Nations!
On Thursday, the Federal Court of Appeals overturned Harper’s approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, citing the lack of First Nations consultation.1 This is a huge victory for the climate, for the communities along the pipeline and tanker route, and especially for First Nations asserting their constitutional rights. While this is not game over for Enbridge, it’s a major setback for this dangerous project.2
We’d like to give a huge thanks and congratulations to the Gitxaala, Gitga’at, Haisla, Haida, Kitasoo, Heiltsuk nations and the Nadleh Whut’en and Nak’azdli Whut’en bands, who together launched the court challenge that led to this decision. We’d also like to thank the hundreds of Leadnow community members who contributed close to $9,000 to this legal action!3
This is an example of how, if we work together with our allies across Canada, we can defeat even the most powerful corporations in the world.

100% Renewable Energy by 2050 – coming to your town soon
As if the 2015 federal candidates debates weren’t exciting enough, for 2016 the Victoria Chapter has taken on the municipalities of southern Vancouver Island.
Inspired by the Renewable City Strategy of the City of Vancouver, we are asking the municipalities in our area to adopt a 2050 goal of meeting 100% of their energy use with renewables. And we mean all energy use in the community, not just municipal operations.
Towns and cities are leaders on energy issues. Last December, as nations met at the UN Climate Conference in Paris, 1,000 mayors from around the world stepped up with major...
