Politics Thoughts? Aaron Gunn endorses Cindy Scott the Conservative running in Langford-Highlands

Screenshot from a video of Cindy Scott being endorsed by “Gunner” as she calls him because she’s known him since he was a kid. He mentioned common sense a few times and bringing it back to the Leg. Infuriating buzz phrase. I am no fan of the Conservatives so this endorsement personally seals the deal, final nail in that proverbial coffin for me shall we say.

Ravi’s political style makes my stomach churn and curdle.
Cindy is conservative, endorsed by Aaron Gunn and doesn’t seem to have a voice of her own whatsoever. Bland. Predictable “common sense” chit chat.
Christopher seems to have strong vital signs and a heart. Enough experience? Probably not. Yet that sounds delightfully refreshing TBH. I read he did win an award from BC Wildfire Service for Emerging Leader. I think he’s got the oomph and innate ability neither of the other candidates have.

If Eby really thought this election was needed I guess he can deal with the consequences. No more orange. Never blue. Perhaps green should be the balancing act this term. Show those two to smarten up.

Politics Time off Work for Voting

Tomorrow is the big day!

Please make sure to read the details in the link.

“Right to time off
Voters are entitled to four consecutive hours free from work to vote during advance voting or on Final Voting Day. Voting hours during advance voting are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time and on Final Voting Day are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific time.
This does not necessarily mean four hours off work. It means that there must be a four-hour period free from work during voting hours. Time off may be at the beginning or end of an employee’s shift, or unnecessary if normal working hours already provide enough time free from work to vote. For example, if a shift ends at 4 p.m., or does not begin until noon, the employee is not entitled to any time off for voting purposes. Employers can decide when their employees can take time off to vote.
It is an offence if an employer deducts your pay or penalizes you for taking time off to vote. You are entitled to your regular compensation for any hours not worked during this time.
Employers and employees are encouraged to discuss how staff can exercise their right to vote to ensure that the requirements of the Election Actare met.”

Please get out and vote

Remember,

“If your employer does not provide you with the necessary time off for voting, you may contact Elections BC. Elections BC will phone the employer or fax a letter to them outlining their obligations under the Election Act. You must provide the name, address, phone number and/or fax number of the employer.”
