North Vancouver is only 25-30 minutes away from where I am in Burnaby. As a former Quick Recall captain I am tempted to try this out.

El Ziu/The Ziu / CRL

Has the CRL been wiped? I was looking to review my own submission and it says no messages.

I plan on updating this to be an act and amendment.

I don't support this. This is another paranoia-based legislative proposal. Even if the Government is in caretaker status it is still the elected government with all the capabilities that affords.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 07:55:18 AMFrom Stage 17 on, my Mençeis dropped in the ranks at a steady rate.  They finish nearly last, a testament to the shortcomings of my "buy the highest priced favorites and then try to fill in the gaps" strategy.  For TCAT France, I'll be switching it up.

Not a terrible strategy at all, and actually one that worked very well in the past, especially in TCAT France, ironically!

Unfortunately this time the second highest priced favourite, Pellizzari, was still a bit too inexperienced for a three week stage race and bombed. Next month, the second highest priced favourite is almost certainly going to be Vingegaard himself. Pretty reliable and hard to pass up on.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 12, 2026, 10:45:59 AMOkay, the Minister of Technology has set up a tweak on the current user structure and implemented the opposition email account.  I have set up the immigration system to automatically mirror applications directly to it, and I'll monitor it for a week to make sure it's working correctly.  Once we're confident, I'll hand off the account to you, Your Majesty, and you can change the password and share the info with the Leader of the Opposition.

Just as an update here, I have been unable to provide login credentials to the Leader of the Opposition as I am unable to change the password. There is no setting in the email system used in order to accomplish this.

Was the Minister of Technology able to help you?  @Danihel Txechescu ?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 07:47:16 AMI also saw that @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be had a suggested new statute to require MCs to confirm their willingness to stand, and that seems like another good thing to include.  (It doesn't seem like a big logistical hurdle -- @Sir Lüc , would this be a challenge to implement?)

Not too difficult on my part - there would just be some kind of active list management in the Database where party leaders can log in and add and remove candidates, and candidates can then follow some unique emailed link to consent to their placement on the list.

Some of the Database's structure was already sort of designed to enable something like that later on (more broadly, letting party leaders manage their party registrations through automatic forms rather than on a Witt thread).

I'm not dead-set against the candidate-based voting, but you have to admit that this is a lot simpler and more similar to the way we've been voting for a long time.  And I think it will take a lot of work to figure out how to implement something like that in a responsible way.  We're deep into the weeds here, though, and there's a lot of things we can fix in the meantime.  I don't mean to be dismissive just because I took the bull by the horns and got some text out for review, but I'm also leery of letting us go hungry while we chew on a tough bit of gristle.  Please take my word when I say that I am definitely open to the candidate voting, still.

EDIT: I just reread what I wrote and I really twisted my metaphors to the breaking point, sorry.

1.  Yes, I have been hacking away at this and I noticed that a bit ago, and probably fixed it while you were typing.  Good eye, though!
2. There's no change being made to that aspect, so legally I don't think the timer would reset.
3. Oh, shoot, you're right.  It's not a huge problem, but it's something I'll have to account for with bifurcating text (like this section will only take effect if the referendum fails, etc).  Thank you.
