I will likely attend. I am terrified that we will switch to a terrible system.

Well, it's a little too late to attend now. The event happened a month ago.

It's a 3.5 hr drive for me. Not quite trivial. :(

looked like that report was in the main worse than my earlier page
http://rangevoting.org/CanadaOverview.html

which is a pity. I would have hoped you could have done better than I did...
at least given that my thing was available as a resource. Perhaps
the lesson is
that 1 man is better than a committee, at least under the right circumstances.
(Or that I have a giant ego. But I do not think that is it.)

Warren, it is possible that you have a giant ego and you did better than their report. :p

If that was a group effort and not the will of CES then why not submit something on their own? Or is it here and I can't see it https://engage.gov.bc.ca/howwevote/about-the-process/written-submissions/

Many of those proposals are not good but I do think Local PR is almost good. No partisan votes or multi-member districts; replace the ranking with a score and you have a proper system.
