<b>Subject:</b> 2019 Federal Election Forum update from
100 Debates<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Meena (from REEP) and I both went to the meeting tonight for
the 100 Debates. The plan is to have a debate in each riding
which will be live-streamed on Facebook and also recorded. All
candidates will receive 4 questions ahead of the event to
prepare their personal plan to deal with climate change,
water, wildlife and pollution/toxics. We're still short of a
team in Cambridge, so I said I would ask Stephanie or maybe
even Bob Burtt to see if they can pull enough people together
to do this.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Also we can come up with our own local issues to ask them
about. They thought GREN would be good to do that, but I'm
sure everyone else can do so also.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All the debates across the country including our area will be
October 7, 2019 from 7 - 9.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>100 Debates provides a planning kit which is pretty
straightforward. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Tonight was getting the people attending into their riding
groups and I'm hoping Laura will be able to provide the person
taking the lead on organizing these for all of us to connect
with. It means meeting with your riding people (and they
started lists tonight), getting a location ASAP that will hold
about 200 people, an experienced moderator and them promoting
the heck out of it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So they've made it very easy for us. All of us can
participate as individuals, rather than representing
organizations, so that the appearance is that environmental
issues are universal - exactly as they should be.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Meena - did I miss anything. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Susan <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>So here's a thought. Everyone has a cell phone video
camera. Why don't we send x number of questions to each of
the candidates, have them film themselves answering them,
and then post them on a website?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Yes, I included the link to GreenPAC in my first
email. :-) I wanted to know if anyone else had heard
of them, or who they are. The only response I've had
to my email inquiry was that they received it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But, having a forum was suggested at the
Environmental Defence "Ontario is not for sale" event
recently and they said they could connect us, so I'm
trying that route now. I'm completely supportive of
working with an existing effort. Based on what I can
see, we have to organize the debates, but then their
website would list us as having one. They list by
riding rather than region, but I don't think we have
the capacity to do that - as much as I'd like to.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Another thought is to have someone from our
respective groups interviewing each candidate for 10
minutes or so, rather than having a big public event.
All we need is a location in each riding where we
invite all the candidates for their time-slot, someone
to interview, someone to film - even my cellphone
takes great videos - and a place to post the videos.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Someone did that, but longer interviews, for the last
municipal election I believe, and it's good. Nice to
have a record to hold the eventual victor to account.
;-)<o:p></o:p></p>

Susan,
<br>
<br>
1. Reep is in. Thanks for getting
this started. <br>
<br>
2. CAWR is going to be asking
questions of the candidates and
posting responses - I've drawn
Samantha Tremmel, Acting Plan
Manager into the thread so she can
explain what that will be. Maybe
just 1 or 2 questions.
<br>
<br>
3. Who else? Divest Waterloo is one
other potential group that comes to
mind. <br>
<br>
4. Re format - it has worked when
there are so many candidates, as
with municipal election. I don't
know that it's very effective in
really understanding the difference
between candidates when there's so
little time to hear from them. I
think it would be good to have a
more thoughtful process, that could
possibly build on the questions that
CAWR is asking, or one question per
organization, or one question per
environmental topic. Candidates
could provide a written response
that we post, and then have a
whopping 5 minutes to touch on any
aspect of those questions. <br>
<br>
Just a thought, open to others. <br>
<br>
Thanks, MJ <br>
<br>

Subject: Federal Environmental
Election Forum <br>
<br>
Hi Everyone, <br>
<br>
It's not too early to start thinking
about and planning an Environmental
Election Forum. I've included all of
you from the 2018 Municipal election
and attached the handout we sent to
all the candidates. If you're
interested in doing this again for
the Federal election, let me know. <br>
<br>
I found this on-line - not sure who
is behind it - but they're trying to
get 100 eco-election forums on the
same date, Monday October 7, 2019. I
contacted them to get more info
because the website has almost
nothing.
<a href="https://www.100debates.ca/"

<br>
<br>
As a reminder, we have held ours at
Walter Fedy on Queen St in
Kitchener, inviting all the
candidates running in Waterloo,
giving them each 2-3 minutes by
riding, and providing coffee tea
snacks in the outside area where
people can mingle and speak
directly.
<br>
<br>
Questions: <br>
<br>
1) do we do this again? <br>
<br>
2) do we align with this org'n? <br>
<br>
3) if so, same format or suggested
improvements? <br>
<br>
4) any other groups we want to bring
in? <br>
<br>
5) something else we could do? <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
<br>
Susan Koswan <br>
