Episode #19 with Jacques Boudreau

From Jacques Boudreau:

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. I wonder if you could help me, although I recognize it's a bit awkward.

Every three years, Elections Canada (EC) requires that every registered political party provides signatures from 250 of its members. By the deadline of June 30th, we had only received 170 in spite of repeated emails asking the members to fill out the required form. Since then, we have received another 20 or so. We ran into similar issues 3 years ago and were granted an extension to get to 250 by EC. We are hoping for the same although there are no guarantees.

We have decided to waive the $10 fee to become a member to anyone who will sign the form below.

This is not a trick on my part to get more members but simply a desire to keep the party from being de-listed and therefore cease to exist. I don't want to cause problems to anyone and it's fine if for whatever reasons you don't feel comfortable signing the form. However, if you're willing and able to help, please follow the steps below. Please pass this along to anyone you who know who might be willing to help.

Thanks

Jacques

All we ask of you is to scan or take a picture of the signed form and text or email it back to the party. That's it. It will not take any more than 10 minutes of your time to help the Libertarian Party of Canada remain a registered political party in Canada.

1. Print the form available at https://www.elections.ca/pol/pol/formsreg/ec20360_add_14_e.pdf.

2. Complete the full name of the political party (Libertarian Party

   of Canada).

3. Select Type 2 - Existing Registered or Eligible Political

   Party.

4. Sign and date in ink (electronic signatures will be rejected by

   Elections Canada).

5. Complete your member information (this will help us update our

   database as well).

6. Scan or take a picture of the completed form and send it to membership@libertarian.ca

7. You can also text it to 613-513-3581.
