Actually Akshay on Bluesky

Dropped off some more door-hanging flyers! Didn't see many folks this time, but every one of them was interested and learned about @fairvote.ca, so I'm feeling good.

Alt text: A Fair Vote Canada door hanger flyer with five colorful sections explaining the benefits of proportional representation. The top section reads "Why proportional representation?" with a subtitle "I want my vote to count, and I want my neighbour's vote to count. That's proportional representation." The sections are color-coded from top to bottom: Purple: "30% of the vote = 30% of the seats" with subtitle "That's fair!". Yellow: "Power is shared" with subtitle "No more 39% majorities!". Blue: "We can vote for what we believe in" with subtitle "Every vote will count!". Green: "Cooperative decision-making" with subtitle "For our future!". Orange: "We'll all have an MP we helped elect" with subtitle "Representation that works!". The flyer is being held by a hand against a background of concrete and grass. Alt text: A Fair Vote Canada informational flyer displaying a pie chart showing public support for proportional representation. The pie chart is predominantly blue, with 68% labeled as "Support", 19% as "Oppose", and 13% as "Don't Know". The top of the flyer features the Fair Vote Canada logo with a maple leaf. The text explains that under the current first-past-the-post system, a party can form a "majority government" with less than 40% of the popular vote. It emphasizes that a strong majority of Canadians support proportional representation and calls for MPs to work together to implement electoral reform. The bottom of the flyer includes a QR code and the website www.faivote.ca. The flyer is being held by a hand against a background of concrete and grass, with multiple copies of the flyer visible.

They are great, most politicians just shove their papers under the door or in the mail. I like the door hanger better!

Sadly, I was not home when they came by. If you are in contact with the organizers, please send my thanks.
