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.

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
