Well for Skippy-P to get air time, he has to a) let reporters get near him, especially those he doesn't like and b) stop his people from bullying said reporters. Also c) let reporters ask questions, not pre-scripted comments that make him look nicey-nice.
Are you describing Carney ? You must be because that is exactly what he is doing .
Promise to fund media outlets.
A law keeping the CBC in business. Fuck that!
That is the prerec for getting favourable reporting. CBC doesn't believe in honesty if it runs contrary to woke agenda.

This is interesting in a “Let’s protest the guy & party that hasn’t been in power the last decade….because electoral reform that the Liberals promised & didn’t deliver upon three consecutive elections?”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will be facing more opponents than ever in his eighth federal campaign, thanks to dozens of protest candidates running in his riding.
Nearly 80 candidates registered to run in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton, where Poilievre has been the MP since 2004.
Most of those candidates are linked to an electoral reform advocacy group called the Longest Ballot Committee. The group wants to put a citizens' assembly in charge of electoral reform and says political parties are too reluctant to make government more representative of the electorate.

Tomas Szuchewycz, an organizer with the committee who acts as the protest candidates' official agent said the group had also intended to sign up dozens of candidates in Liberal Leader Mark Carney's neighbouring Nepean riding. But he said the group didn't have enough time to organize because Carney only announced where he'd be seeking a seat the weekend he triggered an election.
Nepean & Carleton are literally side by side in the same city (?) so what…the bus schedules didn’t link up or something? Does the above sound even plausible here? This seems more than a little stinky.

There is a group called Fair Vote Canada, pushing for a version of ProRep. They want to be able to list your choices, so if your first choice doesn't win, your vote then goes to the next person on your list. They also want super ridings, which is a group of existing ridings to be able to assign seats to parties based on their total share of the vote. I haven't figured out how this is supposed to help independents,or exactly how votes are counted, but somehow this is supposed to make everyone inclusive?
BC has voted 2 or 3 times against a ProRep version called STV(single transferable vote) that also gives seats to parties, and somehow your representative would not necessarily live in your riding, or even close to it.
Somehow, it seems like none of these groups understand the basics of our electoral system, where we vote for the person, not the party, or party leader. To a large extent, the parties themselves don't seem to understand this fact either, based on their advertising.

Yup
It's a participation trophy to help cover campaign costs. It's not about representation It's about what Elections Canada coughs up per vote.
So why not just join the newest party in Canadian Politics?

I'm sure you'd fit right in!

So…on that note, here’s the candidates list for Nepean (so Carleton adjacent):
Then, in the electoral riding of Carleton, I'm just going to post a link ‘cuz there’s 91 candidates…seriously…as a protest against Justin Trudeau’s failed promises towards election reform the Liberals last three consecutive Liberal terms…the irony is as thick as the hypocrisy.

Why are so many candidates running in the Carleton riding?
There is a record-tying number of candidates on the ballot in the Ottawa riding of Carleton this election. That also happens to be the riding of Conservative...

Eighty-five of the candidates registered to run in Carleton are associated with the electoral reform group ‘The Longest Ballot Committee’ and all have the same official agent – Tomas Szuchewycz.
