Report from our 2012 AGM

We had a turnout of about 25 members.  The elections produced a full executive with gender parity.

Phil Jarman reported on the Spring Election and will be posting on the Web site an analysis of the election results comparing this election with 2008.  The analysis does show that the the NDP did not have a significant effect on the Conservative win.  Most of our gains appear to have come from the Green Party.

Pat Martin talked about our new Caucus and how impressed he is with its new members.   We had a lively discussion of various Federal issues.
