Not saying I support / don't support them, just curious to know what the story is.
Are you at all associated with CivicCamp.org?

I think the thing that's trying to be done is to 'expose', through some sort of parody, the actual Civic Camp as some kind of nefarious partisan political organization with grand social engineering agenda led by Cheri Macaulay to make us all ride bicycles and wear hipster peacoats.
I think they also may be suggesting by not being registered they are not being transparent about their supposed backing, structure or intentions. But to suggest so would be a fundamental misunderstanding of what CivicCamp actually is.
I think DJ Kelly does a good job explaining what the actual CivicCamp is, who's involved and so forth.

It amazes me that this "organization", which in the context of this election has been doing pretty much nothing other than running election forums in each Ward, and provide a platform for candidates to disclose campaign donations, is a foil for certain folks. There was that advertorial style ad that ran in the Sun a couple weeks ago suggesting Cheri Macaulay was the "leader" of this mysterious group of citizens. It also suggested a bunch of Councillors were "affiliated" with CivicCamp because they attended a CivicCamp event.
