When I think of the next federal election, I get a feeling of hopelessness. I feel like we’re screwed no matter what.

Without any hope of electoral reform, I wonder if we can instead use the tools we have better.

Independents running always seems like a long shot. The cards are stacked against them. But would it be possible to make it easier for them?

One of my thoughts would be to use technology. Create a platform for people to engage with their local riding, stripped of obvious party association. And not pay-to-play for candidates.

Does an idea like that have merit? Do you have any other ideas?

    Twitter was the best place to reach out to them. Otherwise it’s email.

    The Canadian Mastodon server should become the new default social media to replace Twitter in Canada.
