"A challenge. Is your dignity and protecting your electoral rights in Quebec worth a hundred bucks?
I have received some 200 calls and emails from many of you who are disgusted with the Quebec Electoral Commission's decision to eliminate the provincial riding of Mont-Royal thereby reducing non-francophone voices in the National Assembly yet again. A few minutes ago I received yet another call. This one was from a veteran Quebec politician who is ready to lead a legal challenge along with me to reverse this decision. We know the lawyers to go to. We don't know where to raise the needed legal fees. So I decided to post this challenge. There are over 4000 of you who follow me on this page. How many of you are willing to come up with at least $100 for the legal fees. This is the time to put your money where your mouth is."
$5000 was raised in 24 hours!
