And now Bluesky.

It was extraordinarily chilling. I might be overreacting but I don’t know at this point. I've gotten a new love for outdoors and being there. I'll continue that and stay away from the internet for the time being.

Take care, ya'll! Keep the ballots long!

Last night as I dozed off I had another one. A giraffe in front of a brick wall.

But it was AI slopified. The piss filter, the dopey cartoon face, irregular brick.

I woke up the next morning with that burned into my skull.

I immediately uninstalled Twitter. Just did Facebook.

I had an extraordinarily chilling vision last night. Once or twice a month when I lay down to sleep I sometimes get vivid images of animals in places they shouldn't be. Ex. A moose in an alley in Hong Kong or a bear in the Aussie Outback.

The colours are typically striking and vivid, very intense

My fun group run turned into a horrible nightmare and now my legs don't work.

I do not blame him.

I'd resign too if I had to associate with this weird man.

Whoa these borders are insane.

If a Northern Perspectives mod leaks emails out of context to a journalist making NP seem racist, and then we find out later that mod is also a staffer for Mark Carney, the credibility of that "evidence" would be extraordinarily suspect with ulterior motives.

Just thinking out loud. 🤷🤷🤷

🧵3/4The good news is we have the original unedited photo! The forms are still blurry, but you can definitely make out where the name is.
And...by a stroke of luck we also held on to the original forms featured in the photo😀 (though we won't be sharing those on a bluesky post)

Names were typed on it because writing it out a trillion times would be annoying.

Michael Cooper is a dumb bitch for harassing innocent civilians.

🧵1/4 Did Northern Perspective edit a photo to make it appear blank? (Yes)

For 3 months the Youtube channel Northern Perspective has been accusing us of collecting nomination signatures without a candidates name on the form. Their proof... a photo they "zoomed-in and enhanced" ...

do the right thing don more elections more @longestballot.bsky.social

@jeffgerstmann.com sciencing to other dimensions today

Alberta government to introduce bill limiting who can run in provincial elections Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government is planning to introduce legislation this fall to limit who can run in provincial elections.

There's never been a longest ballot provincially in AB...So what's going on? Best guess is the ruling party is using long ballots as an excuse to enact politically self-serving election rules that have little to do with us (similar to what's happening at PROC)

Let's get cool.

why did you like your own post lmao

The so called Members of Parliament are at it again (TOTALLY CLUELESS, VERY DUMB PEOPLE BELIEVE ME). Only the LONGEST BALLOT COMMITTEE is doing REAL work, fighting for fairness and putting the people first.

PROC doesn't get it! Thank you for you attention to this matter!

I'm getting disturbed that Action 52 might not be a bottom 100 NES game when the science is all said and done @jeffgerstmann.com

Poilievre calls on government to pass rules to curb 'longest ballot scam' | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberal government to introduce changes to Canada’s election rules that would curb long ballot protests.

A voting system designed BY politicians FOR politicians is the real scam.

Drove from Alberta to Toronto and back to check in on the father in law. The last stretch from Edmonton to home is a BREEEEZE!

YouTube video by CTV News 'Longest ballot' group targets Poilievre byelection riding

“Why can’t a third party that’s independent from the government change election law? The problem is that it’s the winners who dictate election law, the MPs” -candidate Donovan Eckstrom

For all you election nerds out there🤓: The origins of the signature requirement. Attached is a copy of the Dominion Elections Act of 1874, which introduced the first signature requirement (just 25). You'll notice it explicitly approves of the same individuals nominating multiple candidates.

Over 50 candidates are running in the same Alberta by-election as Pierre Poilievre, but political scientists say it likely won’t cost him the race - NOW Toronto Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for a limit to how many people can be on a ballot as dozens of candidates are running....

“It’s definitely one of the more interesting protests that has arisen in Canada over the last few years, just because it’s clever, in a way, because they’re following rules, and drawing the ire of mainstream politicians,” Dr. Lewis Krashinsky

A non LBC indy candidate “stops door-knocking due to death threats”
Yes, we can be pretty certain PPs proposed 1000 signature requirement would mean no more elections in safe ridings like BRC.
