Dear Editor:

Re: Pressing Trudeau on his Electoral Reform Pledge, Aug. 28 Other Voices guest column.

Murray Mollard and Megan Dias do a good job of describing the various methods of choosing our MPs and their Democratic Cafe will, I’m sure, be educational. But, that still doesn’t give the electorate a voice in which system the majority of us prefer. That will be entrusted to a bunch of politicians each having an axe to grind. Only a referendum after an educational campaign by North Shore Community Resource Society and other non-partisan groups will make any change legitimate.
