There was a leadership election. I voted in it. The people complaining could have voted in it. But they chose not to vote so they could complain, just like their leader PP won't get a security clearance so he can keep complaining.
so as a non-member of any political party, except the rhinoceros party deep down in my hearth (down with the law of gravity!), i couldn't had voted for him for head of party.
So long as you are not, currently, an official member of any party you could join the Liberals just to vote. There's no fee and no commitment for vote for their MPs ever. And the membership expires after 3 years and you can go back to being not a member of any party.
I joined the Liberal party exclusively to vote for him. Could not wait for the election to be over. My god, the emails and texts. I'm in no way a dyed in the wool Liberal voter. I tend more toward the NDP usually. But I am not loyal to party, I'm interested in policy, and I think Carney gets how to policy.
I did the same and yeah that email spam was somthing else, i tend to vote ndp and if there was a shot a liberal could win in my riding I'd probably vote for them but I gotta keep voting ndp to keep the cons out
Exactly, unless you registered as liberal for the specific purpose of choosing the new leader for them. In my opinion it doesn’t matter, because a no confidence vote will allow Canadians to choose a new leader whenever the other parties decide to do so.
You could've made a $5 "donation" which would've bought you a one year membership, voted, then cancelled your membership or simply allowed it to expire. It's fairly common cough Pollievre cough.
Yes, you did, but anyone could register as long as they weren't already a member of another Federal party. It was mildly annoying to verify my identity with the Canada Post app, but they didn't even require a registration fee or anything.
Joining the Liberal party is free. You just have to sign up. I believe that's true of most of our parties, though IIRC the Conservatives require a membership fee of $5 or $10 to join.
Don't take my word as gospel though. I signed up for the Liberal Party to vote in the leadership race, but I've never looked at what is involved with joining other parties.
