{"ok":true,"events":[{"content":"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.\n\nI\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\"\n\nI\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.\n\nFor 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.\n\nThis explains why many of the libertarian candidates i follow online are not very active.\n\nIn 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.\n\nThe party has been kept alive by volunteers. A big thank you, to them all.\n\nhttps://mar101xy.com/uploader/images/2025/01/15/lpoc-email-libertarian-candidate.webp\n\n#lpoc\n#libertarian","created_at":1736964047,"id":"2e741857ad31ebf626a84511393df4108ef555bc84e1885592c009a9dc28fa37","kind":1,"pubkey":"c7acabf1fed201a53185e4dc5e0c6bae2bc5db19d73abf840535f305d8f05180","sig":"6ac3e3a73390f6522acbdc276f1aa12df152762907e01a8aaf0033d221f6c7ca730e71aedf00f1f7f4e09d5bc14af6c67dd27bdc03605ec10e019f26724a92e4","tags":[["t","lpoc"],["t","libertarian"],["r","https://mar101xy.com/uploader/images/2025/01/15/lpoc-email-libertarian-candidate.webp"]]}],"count":1,"total_count":1}
