As you're aware, CBC/Radio-Canada has been asked to contribute to the government's Deficit Reduction Action Plan (DRAP). To minimize the need for programming reductions, CBC/Radio-Canada took a close look at the effect that the evolution of technology has had on the services it currently provides. Over-the-air television in Canada has been in steep decline for years. Today, 95 percent of Canadians get their television from cable and satellite companies. Given this trend, over-the-air can no longer be considered as an efficient way of distributing television signals to Canadians. As a result, the Corporation will shut down all of its 620 analogue transmitters at the end of July, including the one located in London. The measure will result in over $10 million of annual savings for CBC/Radio-Canada by 2013-2014. CBC/Radio-Canada has installed a digital transmitter for every one of its television stations, for a tolal of 27 transmitters.

  • Reflections on the Vote Together Campaign
    DEFEATING HARPER: REFLECTIONS ON THE VOTE TOGETHER CAMPAIGN DECEMBER 2015 Thank you to the thousands of Leadnow supporters who contributed their ideas, money, and time to design, fund, and power Vote Together. Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Introduction 6 The Vote Together Strategy 10 Outcomes 14 Lessons Learned 26 Conclusion and Next Steps 30 Appendices Appendix I: Campaign Overview 32 Appendix II: Riding-by-riding Reports 37 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is intended to provide a summary of the Vote Together campaign, its results, and lessons learned. We want to capture and publish reflections before the end of 2015, while the memories are still fresh and lessons are emerging, as a first step in a deeper process of analysis and reflection. In the 2011 federal election, a majority of people voted for a change in government, but because of vote splitting in our broken first-past-the-post electoral system, the incumbent Conservatives won 100 percent of the power with 39 percent of the vote. In the run up to the 2015 federal election, Leadnow supporters decided to launch the Vote Together campaign because of the unique threat posed by the Harper Conservatives to our democratic institutions. Progress on our community’s priorities - a strong democracy, a fair economy, and a clean environment - was impossible while they held power. On October 19th, 2015, a majority of people voted for change, and Harper was defeated when the Liberals won a majority of seats in parliament, with 39 percent of the popular vote. Despite everything Harper did to outrage Canadians during four years of majority rule, the Conservatives lost just 235,000 votes compared to their 2011 total.

  • The London-Middlesex Town Hall on Electoral Reform FINAL REPORT
    The London-Middlesex Town Hall on Electoral Reform FINAL REPORT Date: Sunday, September 25, 2016 Time: 1:00PM to 4:00PM Location: King’s University College at Western University Members of Parliament Participating: Peter Fragiskatos (London North Centre) Irene Mathyssen (London Fanshawe) Karen Vecchio (Elgin-Middlesex-London) Kate Young (London West) 1 On Sunday September 25, 2016, a Town Hall meeting on Electoral Reform was held in London Ontario. Local MPs Peter Fragiskatos (London North Centre), Irene Mathyssen (London Fanshawe), Karen Vecchio (Elgin-Middlesex-London), and Kate Young (London West) were in attendance to hear the views of London- Middlesex citizens on our current electoral system and its potential alternatives. Over 300 participants gathered to take part in the discussion at King’s University College. The Town Hall format was non-partisan, with MPs from each of the three political parties representing London-Middlesex constituencies and an afternoon of dialogue framed by an expert presentation. The Town Hall began with a plenary session moderated by Dr. Paul Nesbitt-Larking, Professor of Political Science and Acting Dean of Huron University College, who outlined the workings of various electoral systems and the complex issues arising in translating citizen votes into legislative representation. Following a Question and Answer period, Town Hall participants proceeded to breakout groups of approximately 20 people to discuss five questions: 1. What do you think about the current system for electing Members of Parliament (benefits/flaws)? Do you feel that votes are fairly translated? 2. Do you have a preferred alternative to the current system? What specific features are important to you in an electoral system (for example local representation, proportionality, simplicity, legitimacy etc.)? 3.

    March 17, 2021 The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, P.C., M.P. Minister of Families, Children and Social Development House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 [email protected] The Honourable Todd Smith Minister of Children, Community and Social Services 7th Floor, 438 University Ave. Toronto, ON M5G 2K8 [email protected] Dear Ministers: I am writing to you on behalf of the City of London to communicate our support for the creation of a National Child Care Framework. I am calling on the Governments of Canada and Ontario to work in partnership to work expediently to create a Framework in light of the essential role affordable, accessible, inclusive and high quality child care will play as part of our national, regional and local community recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our community welcomed the Government of Canada’s commitment to build a multi-year plan toward a Canada-wide child care system from coast to coast to coast. We know this will require strong partnerships between all orders of government as well as the community to implement effectively. I look forward to additional details in the Government of Canada’s upcoming Budget 2021. 1 The current COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the important role child care plays for Canadian families. A robust child care system will allow parents to return to work with certainty, precisely when we need it the most. By investing in child care, we are investing in our economic recovery. Numerous economic analyses point out that spending in the child care system can bring powerful economic returns on investment which can generate growth and prosperity during this crucial time.
