Peter Penashue

I was the official agent for peter penashuethe NDP candidate here in Compton-stanstead in 2008 and I believe it’s the agent’s responsibility to oversee the campaign’s finances not the candidate. Mr. Peter Penashue should not have to resign his seat because of the actions of his official agent. My opinion is that in the event of illegal donations to a candidate the amount that is declared as illegal should be the amount of a fine that the candidate, official agent, and the auditor of that campaign’s financial return must pay to election Canada. After having to pay a hefty fine if you ran again for MP you might be more careful whom you have as your official agent and pay a little more attention afterwards. Barry

Leadership

Augustus

I didn’t name myself the Leader of the Federalist party of Canada because that wasn’t the point to it’s founding. I wanted a party I as a member could initiate, debate, and vote online in a member’s assembly whose approval was REQUIRED to pass party bylaws and policy resolutions. If the Leadership bylaw passes I then formally become Leader of the party I founded. I will seriously consider running to become elected acting Leader of the party. I almost for sure will not run to be elected interim Leader and will never  run to be the permanent Leader of the Federalist party.

By-elections

The political monarch (PM) waves his hand and we now have three By-elections. Here’s another way of doing it that is independent of the Prime Minister. There would be four set election dates, which would be three months apart on which you would hold any by-elections. For example the set election dates could be the first Monday in the months of March, June, September, and December. When a Commons seat goes vacant the Speaker of the House informs the Chief Electoral Officer of the vacancy and the By-election would be on the second set election date after the seat goes vacant. For the ridings of Durham and Victoria the second election date after their vacancy would be the first Monday in December. For the riding of Calgary-center that went vacant when Lee Richardson resigned on May 30 the second election date after would have been the first Monday in September. All by-elections would be 3 to 6 months after a seat goes vacant. When the Partisan kiddies fight over the election date toy you take it away from them! Barry.
