VCLA is my party if the BC Libertarian Constituency Association of Metro Vancouver/YVR doesn’t nominate anyone.
]]>Largely the Elector Organization’s prime interest is nominating Libertarians, with an interest in fixing this city, even if it takes declaring independence as a Constitutional Republic. With platforms to slap away transfer fees and their terms and all that.
Not terribly into tedious bureaucratic nonsense.
If the BCLP find it possible to have Electoral District Assoc’s nominate, I’ll recommend our nominees for their endorsement and leave this brand out of the race.
I recommend joining the BCLP or the Libertarian Party of Canada, however do not require it and don’t share memberships.
No cost for the founding 50. It’s only important to join the VCLA from now til November, and redo it in 3 years after the 2022 Election.
Benefits is the easing of signature Gathering for Candidates, even if your no one of them. Since 25 are needed, 50 members will ensure full slates.
If interested in being a Financial Agent to the EO, let me know, I don’t expect to spend anything on a Party level, I’ll see it it’s possible no to.
373 Per Candidate, Libertarian (13)
1,307 per Candidate, Maverick (27)
362 Per Candidate, CHP (25)
229 Per Candidate, Rhino (27)
811 Per Candidate, Free Party (59)
2,702 Per Candidate, PPC (312)
1,566 Per Candidate, Green (252)
8,942 Per Candidate, NDP (338)
16,689 Per Candidate, Bloc (78)
16,398 Per Candidate, Liberal (338)
17,004 Per Candidate, Conservative (337)
Since the shady Mail-In Ballots, after the original article however the issues of whining from the PPC regarding larger votes/percentages over greens (who now have just May’s seat now, Jews will be blamed.), well as one can see, the per-vote isn’t a huge jump (also Reform’s second attempt from 1988 to 1993 gained them seats, not kept them with a lost leader seat) above Greens per-Candidate vote (just in a percentage). Meaning they had a hand full of acceptable local campaigns, and a National one that could have been stronger, true for Libertarians, 2 strong Candidates and no strong National Campaign at all.
Granted the Libertarians also didn’t have media attention on their scale, Rebel even sent an unethical e-mail to their e-mail list with Bernier as the sender, CTV was even more fair to them as to a breakdown, Epoch covered them. Even hit pieces have a value, it causes core support to shoot up and people to question it.
They made sure the most obscure Candidate had signs and flyers (although some may claim some were too late).
Debates didn’t matter, it just makes you hate the Leader’s more, and all it did was make Bernier’s exclusion a media coverage talking point.
Let’s look at the Per-Candidate count, it’s huge Bloc vs NDP, it slightly edges the Liberals, do you give more seats to the Bloc? No.
Conservatives barely edged out the Liberals on per-Candidate votes at all, it’s just a matter of strength in larger voting areas.
The reality is if your running in Toronto-Centre, you ought to do well enough (and party help enough) to win there. Or Vancouver-East, Edmonton-Centre, et all…..
Tell Your MP:
I think the constituencies are too huge, especially for a Federal level, 15,000 voters and a new 5000 person constituency should be split from it. Min. 5000 and Max of 10000 people should have a representative. None getting more than 1 buck a constituent (inflation/deflation linked) salary.
Ballots can be free-for-all in constituencies that small, and require a full profile, requiring web presence (website and social media), a phone, office (optional), and 3 issues min to stand on (If requiring signatures past votes should count to required signatures, anywhere in the city you previously ran in, any level of Government).
No one should do the financial papers unless an incumbent, could have accounts opened by EC for Candidates to put a min of $50 in (allowing low paperwork direct monitoring of financial transactions, even blind trusting of individual donors who can vote for you).
I would prefer Provinces pick their Federal MP elections, so they can avoid conflicts and possibly have Provincial Parties form National Coalitions, rather than have National Parties.
Also have Provincial Legislatures appoint a binding 2 Senators (only) to the Senate, on an open ballot, to all willing to put themselves forward.
Ranked ballot system, where you get a score for the place on the voter’s ballot. 1st = 10 pts, 2nd = 8 pts 3rd = 6 pts 4th = 4th pts 5th = 2pts and 6th = 1pt
A Weighed Support Ballot: Another option is getting an 100 votes to divide as you see fit among Candidates to 1 or all or somewhere in-between.
*I don’t mention the cripple thing, because like Asian, it only counts, in woke terms, if there’s a big story about one getting attacked to take advantage of.
]]>I may need scruiteneers, the actually shaved votes off me because I didn’t last time, but that comes later.
If you go on initiative and want to print signature pages to collect them it’s page 17. One with my name and stuff on it. Same person taking the signatures needs to initial every petition line on a page as the witness (second last box).
Planning to go off starting today to collect.
August 14th is the goal, LPoC Convention Day, for the good news. No call yet, Elections Canada is in Prep Mode.
The more the merrier, 10 people getting 10 signatures and almost finish it, ideally 20 getting roughly 20. Might want up to 150.
Nominations close on August 31s, like to be done a week before.
Phone/Signal or Text (6043746307) me/Gmail: tobjws AT gmail.com or provincial party golok.buday AT libertarian.bc.ca my phone gets that as well. My voicemail is crap. Can’t get in.
You can e-mail to my (buday4vaneast AT eastvanlibertarian.com) laptop.
You can dm me on Gab or Twitter or FB if you want. FB is the rarest visit.
After On Ballot: Word of mouth, retweeting/regabing/reminding social shares in general are great as well. Spreading flyers. I will either adapt my provincial signs or I’ll try to have Federalized versions made. If there are good places for them to be seen.
Wearing the buttons after I have them made would be great.
I’d like you all for being members of the Party and Movement. Also for any help you offer in advance.
Do let me know what your planning on doing to help as well.
Point out I am disabled with people, I am Bi, although not a overtly active disco queen, I am still an LGBT voice, if a person says “no sorry I am with a leftist party,” they claim the believe in elevating LGBT voices. Ask NDPers why they fear me being on the ballot, or remind them “It’s not a vote, or endorsement,” it’s a ballot access thing.
Basics: Anti-War, Anti-Drug Laws, School Choice, Non-Corporate for Free Enterprise. Believe Individuals and Sole Business Owners should pay no tax (if at a store).
The map link describes the district well. Generally between Renfrew and Main and E14th and the Harbor.
If many of us can hit our neighborhoods, we’ll do quite solid. I am still doing it, but it’s slow on a bad knee and cane.
Look forward to meeting you all and shaking your hand.
Thanks to all of you.
]]>Your Libertarian Nominee and Choice.
Note: The principle here is ballot choice, your not pledging your vote, your welcome to on social media, and Elections Canada has strict privacy regulations to follow over theses.
Snail Mail/Drop Off (quicker the better): 209-29 Templeton Dr. Vancouver, BC V5L 4M9 (You’ll notice it’s in the constituency).
Mail it ASAP.
Do spread this info and those forms around, in a Canvass if you can. More signatures the better. Sooner the better.
This is what they say are required. seems, wet ink signatures.
Elections Canada:
“Hi Gölök,
Our team was forwarded your questions on the updated candidate nomination process. Please see the answers provided below.
Distributing the form
The new “Section F – Single Elector Consenting to Candidacy” form can be distributed to electors either online or physically by dropping it off in electors’ mailboxes. If you would prefer to distribute the form online, you can do so by sharing a link to the form by email or posting it on your website or social media page. This will enable you to avoid physical contact and will not require 100+ forms to be printed.
Signing and printing
The form does require ‘wet ink’ signatures from both the elector consenting to candidacy and the witness – electronic signatures are not permitted. For the purpose of these signatures, the form will need to be printed. The form can be printed by the elector, and therefore it is not necessary that you (the prospective candidate) be the one to print the forms.
Once the printed form has been signed by the elector and witness, it can be returned to you either online or physically. For example, the elector can create an electronic copy (by scanning or taking a photograph of the form) and return the form to you by email (or by whichever online medium you prefer).”
