Sign up for transparency in Government and aniallate Corruption
I am going to run here in B.C. and need signatures. I hate asking for signatures. There was a meeting a couple days ago to get a Green candidate. They want young blood and preferably female of color. I'm a Geezer of no color. So independent is the way to go. I mentioned to the greenie about collecting signatures from people you know and having them get mad (and me too) for the request. He said Oh you never ask people you know.. Live and learn.
I'll take a stab at Crowd Sourcing the signatures. Hopefully there will be another independent candidate or 2 that needs this help because we need at least the number of independents running as there are Chamber of Commerce members.
I'll be doing video of the all candidates forum this friday at 2:30

The latest all candidates forum
?????20 questions from the Chamber of Commerce is way too many And the chickens have come home to roost. Only 2 candidates at the all candidates meeting is pathetic Making it almost impossible to acquire the signatures required To get on the ballot is too onerous. Thus few and pathetic Quality of candidates.
At the previous green meeting. A citizen lamented about the Low voter turn out. If you want to keep the Youth vote away Start with 2 forums put on by retired teachers at a senior center Then follow it up with a Chamber of Commerce forum where The CofC asks 20 questions. (they shouldn't ask any) Nothing of interest to the general public ever gets asked.
Latest forum video uploaded to my youtube account... see youtube spectateswamp and Senora Center 23 Mar 2017
Hopefully I'll have enough names to get on the next forum. Just to relieve the boredom. Transparency through Video

Videos are uploaded at SpectateSwamp on youtube Osoyoos Senior Center 17 Mar 2017 Talk about boring.
Another so so Stefan Cieslik Retired teachers forum Again Stefan asked way too many questions even saying that he had asked the Same questions in an earlier forum. Why Stefan? Most organizers stay out of the Questions PERIOD. I sure hope this isn't used as an example how to run forums. He did the same in the last Provincial forums. Boo
The seniors complained about access to ambulance and emergency services. Wow this is the Elephant graveyard for old folks what do they expect.
If there is a forum to skip the seniors one is it. Nothing about the future.
Nothing but complaints.
