[pr-x] A one-time political message from the CP-BC

[Kimball Cariou]

/(This political message is going out to friends and contacts who 
usually receive my notices about upcoming events, such as the Left Film 
Nights at the Centre for Socialist Education in Vancouver. If you are 
already committed to supporting another political party in the Oct. 24 
election, feel free to ignore this email. But if you are interested in 
the views and platform of the Communist Party of BC, please click on the 
links below to visit our website. The nomination period for this 
election is extremely short - just 11 days from the announcement on 
Sept. 21 until the deadline for candidates to submit nominations: 1:00 
pm, Friday, Oct. 2. Along with a $250 deposit and other documentation, 
each candidate must submit 75 signatures of eligible voters who live in 
the riding. This is a difficult democratic task during a pandemic If you 
are a Canadian citizen, 18 years old, living in Vancouver Hastings - the 
area between Commercial Drive to Boundary, and from Wall Street down to 
East 12th Ave./Grandview Highway - you can sign my nomination. This does 
not indicate your intention to vote for me, although that would be 
great. It simply means you agree that my name can be on the ballot. To 
arrange to sign the nomination form, simply reply to this email, or call 
me at 604-255-2041. Feel free to forward this message to anyone in 
Vancouver Hastings who might want to consider signing. Or you can sign 
while the campaign team collects signatures out on the street. We will 
be the folks wearing masks and holding clip-boards, at the intersection 
of E. Hastings and Nanaimo, Sunday, Sept. 27, starting at 3:30 pm until 
5:00. Please take care, be safe, and vote on Oct.24 - but not for the BC 
Liberals. We had enough of them before, to put it mildly. /- *KIMBALL 
CARIOU, CP-BC candidate, Vancouver Hastings*.)


This time, say no to the capitalist crisis - vote for real change!

Premier John Horgan’s snap election during the rising wave of covid-19 
cases places partisan interests ahead of health and safety. The people 
of British Columbia deserve better. In this campaign, we urge voters to 
demand fundamental social change. Electing even one Communist to the 
Legislature would transform the political terrain. A higher vote for 
Communist candidates can send a powerful message that working class and 
poor voters, Indigenous people, environmentalists - all those who reject 
the capitalist mantra of unending profits – refuse to be taken for 
granted......
