Facebook group supports amalgamation

There is a local Facebook group called "Victoria Doesn't Need 15 Governments, It Needs to Amalagamate!"

The group was started by Ted Walton. The group currently has 69 members including myself. In case you're wondering, here is how Ted came up with 15 governments:

Victoria
Saanich
Esquimalt
Oak Bay
Sidney
North Saanich
Central Saanich
Highlands
View Royal
Colwood
Langford
Metchosin
Sooke
Capital Regional District (CRD)
and The Islands Trust

The title of this Facebook group is a little unwieldy but the idea behind it is a good one. Facebook is a powerful social networking tool that supporters of amalgamation can use to develop grassroots support. Ask yourself this: "What would happen if a Facebook group like this had 50,000 members?" Surely local politicians would begin to pay attention.

Please join this group and show your support for amalgamation.
