'Perform on reform': Torontonians protest Trudeau's broken promise


Hundreds gathered in Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday afternoon, decrying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's broken promise to reform the electoral system. The Liberal government's decision not to pursue electoral reform has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties and the public. (CBC)Alex Lavasidis, one of the organizers of the protest, said she voted Liberal because the party campaigned on electoral reform. Alex Lavasidis, one of the organizers of Saturday's protest, said she's not affiliated with any particular group, but just wants to see the government keep its promise on electoral reform. The government struck a special committee of the House of Commons on electoral reform last June and all MPs were invited to hold town halls meetings on the issue.
