Open letter to Linda Leon,
Thanks for another thoughtful letter for MP Ryan Leef to consider.
Thanks, also, for again raising the need for an electoral system change that would result in a truly representative democracy in which you could vote with your heart and mind with a high probability that your vote will count in a meaningful way.

The Rabble feature by Brigette DePape at the end of your letter was very interesting and thought provoking.
However, I think a better electoral system could result in more inclusive and effective governance, as well as more feeling of community, without all the various costs of what she advocates. Hopefully many people will vote for change as best they can in this election.
Brigette DePape is the former Senate page who took a stand for her belief at the opening of Parliament.
I plan to forward two other thought-provoking letters that are very pertinent to our election.
I want a more effective electoral system for future elections, so I plan to forward these letters in hope that they will provoke some helpful thought for change.
Now is the time that people can act for change with an X.
