There are a lot of people from the UK who immigrated here so it is not unusual to hear the accent. My husband immigrated years ago and still has an accent.

Maybe a known rhetorician like Neil Oliver "The Coast Guy." But personally I like a female voice. Symbolically speaking a momma bear.

First things first. Maggie needs an assistant(s) so she can continue her historic work. An IT person to run the chat and and fix any technical difficulties during Zoom meetings to start. Anyone out there have Administrative Assistance duty skills?

Presenters must slow down when speaking - find that right cadence. Not too slow. Not too fast. Just right. Listen to great rhetoricians such as Neil Oliver and George Galloway - both brilliant orators.

John Tait I must apologize for not attending this Zoom. I know that Maggie and her crew will review and improve the video where necessary. At this time I love the progress. and would like to incorporate this into my, "www.watersheddebacle.ca" as a "why did they do this to us" section. I will wait for your final draft before I move forward with our campaign. Open for discussion. Thanks all.

To all concerned,

In regards the voice for the video there is a strong support of late for what I would call the "mama bears" movement who are standing strong to protect their children - our children symbolically speaking. I suggest e.g. do an over-dub - I nominate Renata to be the voice.

Yes, I agree with the organization and using bullet points It may be longer, but organization can make it seem shorter! And highlighting potential personal liability for councillors and mayor. I'll deliver text for people to read first if there is some hesitation and hten collect a signature later.

RE: "presenting both sides"... we get saturated with the climate crisis propaganda on a daily basis... we need saturation from the other side... Climate - The Movie does just that.
