This is the final poll unless we have a tie. Previous polls are still online, but this is the only one that counts going forward.
So far, the favourite has been "The Coutts Three".
I looked around and don't see any way to contribute. I also don't know how well they have been supported and whether our money would go to legal coats or to them personally, so help me out here, please.
As for the others, they are individuals, although maybe Keean has taken on staff. It is hard to say since the site Counter Signal offers no info and most aricles are paywalled.
This poll is to distibute our subscription income to where it will do the most good, but, individually, we may wish to support WS, Rebel, Epoch, CS, or any of the other amazing non-compromised news sources.
The three candidates with the most votes will get one third of the accumulated funds each.

Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.
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 ...
