If you're in bigger cities in BC, you should already be working on a nomination with a party to run in the 2026 election. For most of BC, candidates run independently. You have a little more time. Not sure where to start? We have 1 spot left! feministcampaignschool.ca/sign-up-for-...

We can't get a provincial integrity commissioner in BC soon enough. While this mayor is the most public example of why, there are reasons in every nook and cranny of the province. #BCPoli

We have been advocating for provincial oversight for local elected behaviour for over 6 years. Interested to see what changes might happen in BC and ON to curb the abhorrent behaviour that goes unchecked in local governments. We have 2 big asks: 1 - a provincial ethics commissioner and ....

If you're thinking of running in any of the main cities in BC for mayor/council/school board, it's time to think about what party to join. Election rules changed before 2022 so you can't share $ or data with other candidates unless you belong to the same electoral organization (party). 1/

In a little over 15 months, BC will be voting in municipal elections again. Seems so far away, but it's really not. Great elected leaders are looking for new people to join school board and councils. If you even have the tiniest idea you might want to lead, talk to your favourite elected. or....

Accountability on councils isn't just a BC problem - Ontario has their own Rob Vagramov (remember him?) situation on their hands. It's the 3 silent protesters who got arrested, but the councilor charged with ahuse is still there. #BCPoli #MuniPoli www.chch.com/chch-news/th...

Poor behavior with no real mechanism for accountability erodes democracy. It limits us to candidates who are willing to 'put up with' bad behavior in order to govern. We deserve better than that. Ready for that provincial Ethics Commissioner. Been ready for it since 2019.

Unchecked and Unchallenged, the behaviour of elected officials in local government is a problem. It's a problem for many who want to serve but won't, for staff who have no recourse for abuse, and for residents who are losing trust when councils can just suspend process when they don't like it.

Tonight at our last session of campaign school, we cover media training, which is good for learning to stay on message. The golden rule is: If you don't want to be quoted on it, don't say it. And that goes for posting on social media. *ahem*

Session 4 is tonight with this co-hort. Campaign school is hard skills, and a lot of digging into why you're running. What do you want to accomplish? Why do you need to be elected to do that? These are questions every candidate should be able to answer.

Let's talk about salaries for elected positions. When we see compensation numbers, we often go off our gut about what we think a job is "worth", and it's based off our own experience or our perception of how difficult a job is. Elected positions are...weird. Let's chat about that /1
