I am just starting to become more familiar with the Justin site that seems to be duplicating the discussion forum. The community site can have more in depth (long winded) discussion while the Justin site seems to have more immediate and wider ranging ideas. Drilling down to the comments sometimes expands on those ideas. I am…[En afficher davantage] -

I am a new liberal. Joined last year after the massive defeat. I did not view this as a setback, but rather an opportunity to become involved as the party now seemed open to a re-evaluation of itself and become a party that the citizens of this country could identify with and identified with them, a party of principles that…[En afficher davantage]-
Hi Edward,
Thanks for the great post. You’re right that the activity seems to have slowed down a bit here in the community. It’s nothing to worry about because folks probably just need a bit of a breather after the sustained excitement and passionate (to say the least!) discussions that took place here during the leadership race.

Haven’t been posting much lately, life has been busy. The weather finally got nice and I try to spend as much time as I can playing in my garden. It cuts down on the time I spend reading and posting. Can you tell that it’s damp cold and wet today by the number of my posts?

Welcome Edward! I am not sure about your riding but mine is possibly changing with the redistribution so I am waiting to see what happens. There are lots of interesting topics that come up here and I did take a class in Liberal U that was very interesting. I hope to help out in my riding EDA once things get ironed out.

Greetings Edward, there seems to be another means of discussion that I wasn’t aware of in the Justin Blog site. It is quite active and the discussion is lively.

There may be some of us who, while condemning the current scandal, nonetheless believe this helps us politically. I would urge caution against this line of thinking.

I agree John. This is an area I would like to see a stronger Liberal policy take shape. But I also think we need to hammer Harper and the PMO. What happened with the Duffy bailout was terribly wrong – it “stinks” of something. It needs a full investigation.

Great post Martin; i’d have to say I completely agree that the LPC needs to establish a position on senate reform – and fast!

While I have no problems recognizing donors who have made significant personal contributions, aka The Laurier Club, when we talk about democratic renewal, I do have a problem when the benefits of the Club are (https://action.liberal.ca/en/laurier)“Invitations to exclusive Laurier Club events across the country, attended by prominent…[En afficher davantage]

People need to be enticed into joining, I personally don’t see anything wrong with the strategy so long as the party remains open to communication and holds other events.-
The problem is that you say the strategy is fine, but then you must add a qualifier (so long as the party remains open to communication and holds other events). I simply propose another way of recognizing the generosity of donors that does not imply that those who give the party money gain exclusive access to ‘prominent Liberals’. This as they…[En afficher davantage]

Fair enough, but if not high profile events then what do you propose?

I’ve long thought about joining the Laurier Club, but it just is not economically feasible for me (even with the tax credit).

It costs very little to be a member of the Party, and nothing to be a supporter. Both of which can and do contribute, and often I have had notes back from the MPs and the Party (obviously they can’t respond personally to every email).

I wish to make it clear I am only against the idea of privileged access, I in no way wish to discourage donations or end the Laurier Club. Just to find a way to acknowledge donors that does not give the appearance that money gives you input for policy that regular party members do not have.

Consider that with the lead time we have before the next federal election, every donation could be as effective as your vote.

Ms May’s Bill C-503 has nothing to do with the power of party whips or individual MPs.

Agree with you. I think I have heard from my riding association 3 times since the 2011 election.
How are we suppose to build with that kind of leadership on the ground level?

Everyone is so busy talking about co-operation or not that the need to talk about actions to get the party moving out of third party status is getting lost. We need to talk about the problems and successes regarding EDAs, events etc.

I think one of the things is that the Supporter class will be ongoing and that nominations will be contested.

Please don’t misinform people. Supporters cannot vote for a local nominee, only members can. Supporters can only vote for the Leadership candidate of their choice. This came up at the Ottawa convention, and was voted down by the delegates.

I sincerely apologize – I was under the mistaken impression that supporters would be able to vote in nominations.
I think it is something that should be considered.
I know there is concern about nominations being hijacked but having a supporter class means you have a lower barrier to entry for people who can be persuaded to vote Liberal.
-
I do not fear a hijacking from the grass roots, it will open discussions on a local level. If they help choose the candidate, all the better. This will bring people to the polls.

I think this is a good idea in theory. But in practice some members have seen (including myself) EDAs run completely by the sitting/former MP, with little engagement with the members of the EDA.

The supporter category was considered a valuable component of the #renewal of the Party. But we wanted supporters of the Liberal Party, not supporters of a particular leadership candidate. See my comments about the mismanagement of the supporter category. http://www.rogerpalfree.com/words/politics/lpc_supporter_snafu.html
The damage it has had is…[En afficher davantage]-
when i spoke at the convention against the supporter notion, exactly what has happened is what i had forewarned the delegates. Supporters do not represent renewal per se. Renewal of the Liberal party will be found when we stop focusing on winning elections and instead focus on defining and delivering a better Canada. We were never the natural…[En afficher davantage]

The idea of engaging more Canadians in the LPC by a supporter status was worth testing. Using the leadership race to do so was reasonable. But no matter how supporter registration was achieved, it should have been made clear that they had become supporters of the party not an individual leadership candidate. Their welcome package should have…[En afficher davantage]

The nice thing about the supporter category is that it reaches out to all Canadians, not just the privileged few LPC partisans.
I think you will find that the uncommitted supporters either did not register to vote or will fail to vote. It is one thing to give your name to someone to put on a list. It is another to actually follow through.

I’m alarmed by, as I see it, a very dangerous patter developing between our veteran and well known MPs. I’m referring to comments made by Carolyn Bennett (MP for St. Pauls’s, Ont.), Judy Sgro (MP for York West, Ont.) and Hedy Fry (MP for Vancouver Centre, B.C.) with regards to Martha Hall Findlay’s strongly…[En afficher davantage]

#renewal If any sitting MP is not pulling his or her weight and revitalizing their EDA, then remember that Justin Trudeau is on record that ALL MPs should face nomination contests for the next election. So start organizing and run someone against any dead wood.

En réponse à : Glenn van Schalkwyk posted an update One way to change the riding associations asap would be to publish in a spot accessible to every Liberal member each and every strategic plan filed by each riding association […] AfficherGreat idea!
I think, regardless of the leader elected next month, the top priority for real #renewal should be to make EDAs transparent and engaging. My experience has been one of being authoritarian and shrouded in secrecy. The very thing that we complain about the PMO is happening at the lowest level in our own party!

One way to change the riding associations asap would be to publish in a spot accessible to every Liberal member each and every strategic plan filed by each riding association with the Party. This would give everyone a chance to search for ideas.
The second way for an immediate transfusion of ideas from vibrant riding associations to dormant…[En afficher davantage]
