 
                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.

Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
