HI folks,
I just wanted to send out the latest update from the folks in Toronto organizing the meeting for this Saturday about a provincial campaign, and also check in again if anyone is interested in going.  I am only going to be there till 1pm and it looks like all the big talking points are actually scheduled for afterwards.  If not, that is fine, I think it is enough to go to be in touch with the organizers and get further updates on the campaign as it progresses.  Right now, it also feels like we might be spreading ourselves a bit thin in terms of what folks have capacity for, so I'm not suggesting adding to this.
Anyway, let me know if anyone wants to come with, or if anyone has thoughts they would like me to share based on the questions the organizers have asked in the email below.
cheers,
Caitlin
