Well b’ys tomorrow is the big day. I wonder how it’s all going to turn out. I hope lots of people go vote, ideally for my team but any votes are good votes. Everyone’s voice matters

If you do want to get involved and are in my district we could make a district association! There isn’t much too it, we’d need members for president and all that, and the objective is to organize for issues important to the region and to help the party with volunteering and fundraising

Do we really believe that loads of election signs suggest a party presence? It doesn’t. It suggests corporation donations. Don’t believe me? Check our site. It’s not voters paying for all the election materials and it’s not voters who the votes are going to benifit! It’s Everwind, it’s NARL, Marco,

You have to be the change you want to see, sometimes. We can have better. We can do things different. We don’t have to keep voting the same way. There is no such thing as a waste of a vote. It’s your vote! You have the power to have the goverment that you want. The people can decide.

When I was volunteering in the Windsor Lake by election, the PC scrutineers were being paid 100 dollars a day and the liberals were party staffers. Parties are more than their elected members. They are district associations. They are phone bankers. They are PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

As we come up to the end of this election, going forward to want to remind people that if you want to see more of a presence of a small party like the NDP in your area, that presence could be you. We depend on volunteers, we don’t have companies donating so we can hire staff to put up signs
