Thank you so much, those information and links are great.

Focusing on PR makes sense, a lot of those countries already had some sort of PR going on when they implemented electronic ballot or internet voting, it also facilitated referendums a lot. The same goes with the voting age, some implemented as soon as they became a democracy, others took a bit longer.

I will look into getting involved and volunteering. Thank you.

They are great, most politicians just shove their papers under the door or in the mail. I like the door hanger better!

Sadly, I was not home when they came by. If you are in contact with the organizers, please send my thanks.

Be careful with where they store your data, they might be Canadian, but they might be storing your data in the USA and sharing it with USA companies. Read their terms.

I suggest using software that runs on your computer, like GenuTax, sadly it is windows only.

As far as I am aware, only a single online offer used to encrypt your data, but they removed it when they were bought by WealthSimple, so they could sell your data to third parties.

What a terrible way to organize the session.

“What journalists do is they line up to wait for a question — one English, one French,” Le Couteur explained. “A number of those so-called reporters essentially tried to stack the deck and be there in line well ahead of the finish of the debate, so about 20 to 30 minutes ahead of it.”

Win who brings a tent the day before next time, +10 friends.

Now I understand the Beaverton post about bringing in 35 journalists.

If my memory does not fail me, there was research associating some kinds of threat and anxiety with conservative voters.

The politicians' playbook seems to cater to that kind of voter.

The conservative candidate that knocked on my door started saying how dangerous is a street nearby I walk daily. Most of his arguments were based on fear, and the culprit is always "the liberals". So that is definitely in their playbook.

Sadly for him, most of that information is easily accessible, like a map of crimes in the city, and his arguments fell short.

There are a lot of studios, diverse size and genres. What is missing in the website is their pubishers.

Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

Anything else was pretty much tape.

You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.

some candidates and volunteers “faced intimidation” from constituents

This is sad to hear. I hope they are OK.

Another reason why FPTP needs to end.

Not really sure what is bold about it, pretty similar to the other parties but missing how they would measure their goals.

Another thing that bothers me is that they do not mention multi-unit homes, city density or collective work(unless they used terms I am not familiar).

Same vibes as the guy that "fought" a Lion with Toilet paper.

This looks more like a tool for people working with "sentiment analysis" than to get the properly informed.


Not a trustworthy methodology.
