The Libertarian Party of Canada recently emailed me asking if I still wanted to be a candidate, because I had started an application. However, I don’t recall ever beginning an application process. Becoming a candidate isn’t something I\u2019m particularly interested in. The only action I took was signing up on their website to explore it, and I made a one-time donation to become a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m uncertain if running as a candidate is the right fit for me. It seems like a role that requires a very outgoing personality, unless, of course, I can become a “paper candidate”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve recently learned that you can become a “paper candidate,” which I understand is a common practice among many Libertarians and other parties lacking candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who don’t know. A “paper candidate” is someone who officially runs for office under a political party but does not actively campaign or engage in the typical activities associated with running for office. They are essentially listed on the ballot as a candidate but do not make a serious effort to win the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This explains why many of the libertarian candidates i follow online are not very active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future, if I improve my website development skills, I might consider volunteering for the LPOC to help them improve their online website. I understand they lack IT support due to limited funding and donations which explains their lack of information on their site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party has been kept alive by volunteers. A big thank you, to them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
