I’m meeting Sunday with a kid who turns 18. Part of the birthday gift he wants is to sign this petition so I’m going to make that happen.

Just have to say - CPers Amethyst and D as in David and other Forever Canadian volunteers came to my event today and sat for 6 hours, on a long weekend Saturday, outside, to colllect hundreds of signature.
Mi, Ba - you two and the other FC canvassers are exceptional people for sacrificing your time for this cause. I watched as a canvaser politely explained ro a person who was hesitant to sign exactly what the petition was for and what it hoped to accomplish, and the person gladly signed.

To ALL FC canvassers - With all my heart,
THANK YOU!

Thank you for having us! The volunteers were very happy to be invited to a location where we could set up a table for signing, instead of needing to "hang out" nearby but not too close to somewhere.

If anyone else has an event next weekend and they'd like us to attend, feel free to get in touch. It's our last big push, before we need to start turning in our petitions starting on October 22.

No, I couldn't cut it in that business. I have a venture going now where I sell my pocket change after I bite it. I'm calling it "bit coin". I don't want to count my chickens before they've hatched, but it seems to be gaining traction on the internet, and I haven't even started any marketing.

A bit late to the party, but Mrs. WhiteTiger got her credentials and set up her first signing station for today. Now she's gotten her first few signee's, and we are quite excited and happy about that.

Uncertain, but it will happen before I receive my Nobel Peace Prize.

I’m seeing a few new canvassers joining our Facebook group asking how they can get involved. We welcome you aboard and every signature is important but where were they two months ago? I understand scheduled, travel, illness, etc.

FC brass just put out a call for us to report out signatures numbers to date.

You should get some of them pointed at this petition to see if they can help!

https://recallnicolaides.ca/

Not to mention the "Alberta Funds Public Schools" petition.... They might be late to help the FC effort but there are other worthwhile citizen led initiatives that can really help Alberta (and stick it to the UCP).

Possibly teachers looking for something to do of value?
