Voter exclusion of youth/new citizens in rigged BC ProRep referendum - S...

Lots of stuff to get done with real life, but I still wound up finishing posts and have some tweets to fix after fixing video titles after uploading this one... about 18 year olds deserving a fair chance to vote, among other things, on a vote that DIRECTLY affects their future and the NDP mail-out of the PR ballot somehow overlooked to even TRY to engage them... .they're waking up; to this fact, and word is spreading, likewise among new citizens and on the street.


I've been on Trailer Park Boys (2nd movie) so just wrote Sarah Dunsworth and Bubbles ( via his real name Mike Smith) enlisting the help; of the TPB crew and cast to help us out and wake up the disenfranchised vote.... and Scott Thompson and Russell Peters and others and similar stateside.

I don't see why there's a need to rush to close the referendum on Dec 7 and why it can't be open for the whole month for fairness..... do they not want people to vote? 

And why would that be ?  

The kids 18 and up see why, and so do  the new peoples who come form countries either with PR or shitty pseudo- or non-democracies, and also Americans now living here.  They all get it.. somehow the PR campaign hasn't clued in yet....

The voters list is bullshit and inherently exclusionary as a concept for who got the mail-out... and the deadline for fairness sake, and in the spirit of the season, needs to be the end of t he month so that we have a fully democratic Christmas so ALL those qualified to vote have a FAIR chance to ... not one with an arbitrary and too-soon and highly inconvenient time in the middle of exams and the Christmas rush.

Before I adopted my now-usual username "Skookum1" I posted at http://thetyee.ca as "Sometimes Friendly Giant".

PR vs the FPTP history of BC - Vlog 3, The Street Professor /Mike Cleven

Image
This one covers a LOT.... a short history since the party system was foisted on us, and the pendulum swings since and the thwarting of democracy since including the crimes of the WAC Bennett government and how it gained office via the elimination ballot then reversed it by Order-in-Council, and also the Gordo Giveaways post-2001. It's also primarily, though, about the constitutional right to vote and how those who were excluded by the un-fairness of the mail-out ballot DO want to vote and now are mobilizing.  This is also about the 39.5% who allegedly are indifferent to politics. I'll be posting my playlist link in a few minutes... they're not in order or numbered properly yet... so note the playlist link and though of my vlogs are long they're all juicy so if you want to know about how politics works under FPTP, leave the list play while you cook or putter or walk or ride the bus. Gotta go, too many things to do before I head to Victoria, which I'd been hoping to ...

BCPR referendum: Skookum1 calls on Bubbles/TPB

Image
I've been one busy magic elf... reach for the sky they say... but in Hali some of trhe stars are my friends.....and I decided to send calls for reinforcements from not just Canadian comedians but others like Russell Brand and John Cleese.  We need all the help; we can get... so I'm hopin' my pals from Haliwood and the others I 've sent stuff to will launch their own assault of talent on the BCPR bullshit referendum and its exclusionary and preferentially discriminatory basis and pretense and assumptions. They can make more cut-and-dice of it that I can in all my verboseness so I hope they and Jim Carrey and others I've sent to take up the call for reinforcements and a skewering of the rigged-to-fail PR referendum in BC....... and I get to callin' it like it is about Canada in that one as you'll see/ hear as well as calling on everone to talk to all the 18s and up; and new citizens/minorities... if we've only got til Dec 7 we need to flashmob Services BC...
