Vote for MMP or NO MMP: You Decide!

Got an email from a colleague who was walking down Yonge Street this morning and saw a sign on a lamp post that says "Vote for MMP" in big bold letters. "Hey," she said to herself, "I know MMP, but what's she running for???"

Had to email her back to confirm that the only running I'm doing is my marathon training. (Survived 24K last Saturday btw). Here's the scoop on THE OTHER MMP:

MMP stands for Mixed Member Proportional, the voting system we have to vote on in the upcoming Referendum on October 10th, the same date as our Ontario provincial election. There are buttons that say Vote for MMP and there are buttons that say NO MMP. Naturally, I need to collect both buttons! And so my fellow Ontarians, get informed and get out there and VOTE on October 10th for MMP or NOT!
