Today at PROC, Liberal MP Maloney (appearing via zoom) says he's determined to stop long ballots and presents his very own homespun candidate requirement ideas: Candidates must name 3 streets or 2 restaurants in the riding to qualify🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYKB...

Mark your calendars! Tuesday, October 7th Tomas will be presenting to MPs who are eager to find out what we're all about😀

Well-rested after a summer vacation, MPs are ready to get back to their important work.

"Picking your elected representative is not a joke, I think the longer we have this...the less confidence Canadians have that [MPs] can do anything right, including elections" - MP Melissa Lantsman on the Longest Ballot Committee

In NFLD candidates can run in an unlimited number of ridings, and someone is taking advantage👍 "I'm going to do something that's quite unusual. I mean we all recognize that this has not happened before, but we're also going to push the boundaries of electoral reform." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

omg someone's been extending it

PROC Chair (St.Catharines Liberal MP Chris Bittle) calls for study into long ballots “I think it’s an issue—as a Member of Parliament—and hopefully something that’s of interest to everyone to look into,” www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

"Politicians who are elected by the current system will never make it fair...People believe in this protest and want to sign up"- Independent candidate @alexcerne.bsky.social spoke on the Evan Bray show. Starting at 3:30 😀 iono.fm/e/1587805

Makes you think🤓

BRC had record high byelection turnout + record low rejected ballots. No surprise to us😀 but it's worth noting that contrary to what our critics were saying just a few weeks ago, voters have once again proved they have the intellectual capacity to handle a unusually high number of candidates👍

"results posted by Elections Canada over the weekend show that 211 ballots were rejected in last week's byelection —0.4 per cent of the total votes cast. By comparison, 391 ballots were rejected in the same riding during April's general election — 0.6 per cent of the total"

"For me, it's about bringing attention to some of the flaws in our election system" - Brian Wishart "I really do think that it's an experience that everybody should have…. I want regular people giving it a shot. That would be amazing."- Jayson Cowan www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is how our financing model works

Some people really can't comprehend that this is just a hobby/passion project organized by a few nobodies

Par cette action, le Longest Ballot Committee (LBC) revendique de remplacer le système électoral fédéral en mettant en place une assemblée citoyenne responsable de définir ce changement. Je peux concevoir qu’une telle assemblée soit appropriée à ce niveau..-Mercédez Roberge

“The longest ballot is a political prank that successfully gets attention and points out uncomfortable truths about power. This autumn, MPs and an eager Mr. Poilievre are likely to prove our point once again: Politicians only change election rules to help themselves.” torontosun.com/news/nationa...

Another victorious longest ballot campaign😀 ✅Record broken ✅Really annoyed politicians+ their strategists ✅Had fun Plus: ⭐Loads of candidate interviews ⭐High voter turnout ⭐0 reported cases of "confusion extreme" If you have any commemorative pin design ideas send them to [email protected]👍

Battle River-Crowfoot was by far the wildest campaign yet. A huge thank you everyone who contributed their time to help make this one of a kind campaign for a better democracy possible❤️ Here's the current tally: 314 votes for 126 LBC independent candidates, leaving a record 75 "Unity candidates"

Turns out a long name is actually a bonus! Myles Rene Laurent St. Pierre is setting the trend❤️

On a more interesting note, it looks like some BRC voters took a shine to some of the LBC independents❤️

First box dropped. And it looks like the result we all expected to happen will indeed happen

"the only abuse of process is politicians being in charge of their own election rules....I don’t see any value in making a party or supporting any existing party, because – as we’ve seen countless times – a party that wins under FPTP, keeps FPTP no matter what they promise”- Tomas Szuchewycz

“The goal is to try to show how terrible the first-past-the-post system is. And it's disruptful, and there is collateral damage to a certain extent, but I feel like at this point it's the best way to provoke change.” -Indy candidate Nicola Zoghbi www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

Longest Ballot is a legitimate act of protest - Waterloo Region Record

Today's interview is evidence of real progress❤️ With each long ballot campaign more & more people can't help but notice that MPs simply have too much skin in the game to be in charge of electoral reform. ⌛ for MPs to do the right thing and recuse themselves👍 #conflictofinterest #citizensassembly
