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.

I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
