If there were awards for systemic flaws in our political system I think Premiers & PMs being able to unilaterally decide what electoral reform will look like or in this case whether it happens at all would win top prizes in the #conflictofinterest and #democraticdeficit categories.

🧵3/4The good news is we have the original unedited photo! The forms are still blurry, but you can definitely make out where the name is.
And...by a stroke of luck we also held on to the original forms featured in the photo😀 (though we won't be sharing those on a bluesky post)

Northern Perspective worked hard to get their accusation known, repeating it many times on their Youtube Channel during the Battle River Crowfoot Byelection. Their edited photo even made it to parliament: Below is MP Michael Cooper holding up the image they manipulated.

🧵1/4 Did Northern Perspective edit a photo to make it appear blank? (Yes)
For 3 months the Youtube channel Northern Perspective has been accusing us of collecting nomination signatures without a candidates name on the form. Their proof... a photo they "zoomed-in and enhanced" ...

2/3 As you can see from the results below, sharing OA's is very common. It is disproportionally relied on by the NDP, Green and PPC.
The PROC experts likely had zero clue about this reality, so it's unfortunate their eager endorsements have given a non-partisan cover to a very partisan rule change

1/3 Last week at PROC, profs lined up to support the "1 candidate/OA" proposal. What caught our attention was that they are not proposing 1 candidate/per OA/per riding. To get a better grasp on why they are so interested in this change we took a look at the 2025 election returns...

Battle River-Crowfoot was by far the wildest campaign yet. A huge thank you everyone who contributed their time to help make this one of a kind campaign for a better democracy possible❤️
