Voter Suppression in the British Columbia referendum Vlogger calls for extension of the vote until New Years.
Poor, young and minorities marginalized from voting due to mail-out ballot.
my new video will be better to share... not so much to read...., it'll be up in an hour or so. Vlog 6 Sunday Nov 23, from the bottom my cul-de-sac after a walk to the store.
Skookum1 speaks... loud and large and to the point, with vlogs, incarnating as "the Street Professor" on Youtube.
Everybody in BC please watch the new video I'll upload once my phone's done recharging. Gonna inbox some of you around BC soon. I'm using the Street Professor on Youtube and added my blogname Skookum1 as it's known to the other side and will strike dread into their hearts because of my roles on the BC Mary blog and on The Tyee and Wikipedia.
But that paragraph was on my main FB timeline, so please share my videos and the comments I make on what's going on here that you need to know, as do all British Columbians as well as the rest of the world, what goes on behind the Granite Curtain that the national media keep; from you, and the bullshit they look away from and hide from us, and from you....and what the truth is, and it's not pretty.
Nor is voter suppression.
Read on and please share widely.

And please share it widely to all, but especially in one of the three groups named - the young, the new minorities but *especially* the poor, homeless or housed, and also young families whose kids, the agree, want to grow up; in a fair democracy and a country not run for the benefit of outsiders... who want to control our governments, like they so very long have.....PR will mean a government by British Columbians and not own owned from abroad, or down south, as is currently most of the case thanks to the previous government... about which there is too much to tell here but will be in further vlogs..
They all need to hear it.... they were excluded from the referendum by the way the referendum has been done so far.

they don't want those they walk by and shun to vote; street people are treated like blacks, and my Nigerian friend from across the hall agrees and much else I told him about the referendum too.
If Asians and Latinos and the huge native population of Vancouver, that is 1/3 of the homeless, and all the other homeless and poor, aren't allowed a chance to vote and outreach isn't done to help them to, and the minorities and young - and there are/were easy ways to do it - then this is not an inclusive referendum at all, and the people who need a fairer system of government most of all were *excluded* *from* *the* *vote*.
There aren't a lot of Services BC offices and people, especially on the street, often don't know where they are but all said they would find them.

Watch my video, it'll be up in a while, I haven't uploaded the 5th of last night's yet from here in Haney.
I'm not looking to go viral - but this has to. Peop[le need to hear it who could benefit from PR and MUST have more chance to be reached and vote. Otherwise this is just a charade.
Please share widely and start using the tags I generate... guess I should start tweeting my videos and slogans and straight-on comments about our past, and about what's going on - and how if this is to be new system that's meant to be more inclusive.... that should have been considered from the start, and there were ways to *engage* everyone who could and should and constitutionally has the right to vote, and not just people who live in homes and have cars
Calling for legal help to file injunction for greater inclusivity and measures to reach the 39% who didn't vote, including ethnic outreach in all the languages now used here, as is done I've seen in Vancouver on signs and notices...
- and to extend the deadline to the end of the month.....will I compromise on the 15th?? Maybe if enough of the three groups named have voted... but there's no cost in extending closing day to the 31st.
None at all, unless "they" aren't wanting those groups to vote.
I'll be calling Elections BC in the morning to file a complaint in the morning, and to enlist legal help from various progressive lawyers in DERA e.g. Harry Rankin's old law firm, and others around BC I know.
Watch my new video once it's up and share it to anyone in BC who should hear it, and there are many. They are legion, and they all have a right to vote, and need a clear explanation in their own languages as to how each system works, and the English on the ballot is confusing for non-native English speakers, especially older citizens like him.
If someone who speaks Punjabi or Hindi or Tagalog or whichever, Japanese or Korean or Spanish... or Russian or Polish etc... hears what I'm saying and is inspired to talk about this in their own languages and those that feel inclined to make videos please do so and share them in your linguistic communities, so that their elders and the new citizens and those related to them hear it..... that would be great, because they deserve, and need, to hear it.
More votes means more democracy.
More democracy means change.
Please help; me turn this into a landslide caused by mobilizing the vote to any person in BC you know, especially those who most need to hear it among those groups named...
I'm not looking to go viral, but need this to, and so do all who hear it .... what I'm saying HAS to be heard by those who need to hear it.... and there HAS to be a injunction until the end of the month, and more engagement and places to vote.
Otherwise this a trumped-up farce set like the '05 and '09 referendums were, designed and set up to fail, so that the robber baronry that's gone on 115 years has a change to lie it down and bury it again..
The NDP should be ashamed of themselves, frankly. And not to mention that a lot of the people on the street are there because of what *they* did when they had FPTP power, and nobody could stop them.
