Time has come to decide how to distribute the accumulated funds contributed by supporters. The supporters keep the lights on for everyone else. There are no ads here, so Locals.com keeps a small portion of our support contributions to keep the site running. The rest just adds up.
Update: We have 25 votes in round one of the poll and some good suggestions. If you have a favourite, please be sure to mention in the comments and if you can make a good argument for your candidate, do so.
At present, it looks as if for round two we'll drop out those with the lowest scores, keep the four best and add four that we could no put in the first poll due to the 8 option limit_
As for the distribution, I figure maybe three recipients, allocated according to their votes. That is open to comment. Feel free to make your case for anything you feel strongly about.
Also, it seems you can change your vote by cancelling your original vote, then voting again. (I have not tried it).
I looked back and our last distribution was $1042 on September 7, 2023.
Here is the ledger as at today.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
