My local MP emailed.

Hello David
I will not be voting for you.
Because of

Ongoing support of Israel and its genocide.
No action on strengthening environmental laws.
Supporting Salmon farming which is endangering the Maugean Skate.
Failing to reform and increase unemployment benefits, while maintaining the punitive ‘mutual obligation’ regime.
Approving new coal, gas and oil extraction.
Doing too little to address the climate crisis.
AUKUS (I mean seriously? You have to be kidding, right?)
The NACC (What a joke).
Doing too little to improve access to hospitals, gps, mental health services etc.
Failing to recognise that the USA is a risk to our sovereignty, national security and future.

I am sure to have missed something. Oh, wait
Not following through on gambling reform.

So get back to me when you have definite policies and intentions to address even some of these things and I might reconsider the suitability of Labor for government.

Here's your annual reminder to check the box on your #Form1040 for a $3 contribution to the Presidential #Election Campaign.

Doing so will not change your #taxes in any way. It will, however, be a first step in replacing our current, money-driven election system with a publicly financed #elections. Publicly financed elections would force candidates to focus on the issues, not on their next paycheck. It would make them less beholden to wealthy special interests ([coughs] #Elon). #Votes, not money, should decide elections.

Let's get the money out of #politics! Check the box! ✅

🤔 Something to consider...

When Trump started the Tariff rhetoric, Trudeau stepped up, increased negotiating deals with the EU, Australia and other countries.

Trudeau started the ball rolling, PM Carney picked it up and is running with it, plus running for the election in April

I can't imagine Poilievre having the ability to walk and chew an apple at the same time.

Vote wisely, and please help others get out to vote.

Hmm do I vote for
the right wing party or
the ultra right whinge party?

The Liberal Party or the
Alternative Liberal Party?

Tory or
Toy-Tory 2?

Mr DooLittle or
Mr CareLittle?

Mate or
Tater?

I no longer maintain the rage, I will vote #Green

From @JLisaYoung. With mere "weeks left in the term #election, it’s not too late. Throw away the traditional playbook and start offering Canadians a vision of how you will lead #Canada through the worst #crisis it has faced in our #lifetimes."

We also need each leader's "evaluation of #DanielleSmith’s rationale for 'going into the Lion’s den' and helping the #fascists raise money."

What now?!? An Alberta Politics newsletter · C- (but it's not too late to improve)By Lisa Young

Canadians alarmed by text messages asking their vote preference. Then their postal code. Then their name
The Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC), a polling industry association, has received numerous complaints about these text-message tactics from ERG National Research.
