Tried to ELI5 #ProRep today to my kiddos. @janetrfraser introduced me to the food analogy. FPTP: if we have 2 votes for spicy noodles, 1 vote for sushi, 1 vote for fried rice, 1 vote for soup => everybody has to order spicy noodles. ProRep means everyone just get what they want.

Horgan subsequently explains he heard that lingo in a video about a “woke support group” @cbcnewsbc
#PrDebate #prorep

[Denise Brennan @DBrennanYVR]

“If you were woke, you’d know ProRep was lit”

- #Horgan, on Wilkinson’s lack of support for proportional representation and what it says about his comprehension of the importance of diversity in politics.

@masalapuri @OneCityVan @COPEVancouver @VisionVancouver Missed you!

[Denise Brennan @DBrennanYVR]

Truly, madly, deeply loving the in depth political conversations happening at @subcultureatCC tonight. This is what engagement looks like, regardless the outcome. #vanpoli with @CambieReport @DearCityCouncil and @homing_bird

@gzlfb I think it’s pretty valuable to understand the job you’re applying for. Why wouldn’t you take the tutorial if you want to learn and be good at the game?

[Denise Brennan @DBrennanYVR]

I wonder which of the candidates for #vanelxn18 have attended one or more meetings of the various bodies/boards they’re running for, and for what reason? #vanpoli

[🇭🇺Gölök ZLF Buday - Vancouver-East Libertarian @gzlfb]

@DBrennanYVR Not sure it matters, I rather they had a real regular lives when they didn't run, seems to be what people dig about me when I do every day things still. It's a funny response when I'm going to LD and see a response forgetting I'm a Candidate for a moment or two.

[Tricia Barker 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @TriciaBarker49]

I've been attending the Park Board meetings since February. A great opportunity to understand the issues and scope of what the board does. Really helped when came time to represent @kensimformayor and the @NPAVancouver team. #vanelxn18

@kgrahamcook @DBrennanYVR @PtFry @tanyapazzy @christineeboyle @CitizenYan @sarahblyth @betterparks @adriancrook @VancityDiego @VanRealDeal @reddyforchange @MorganeOgerBC Spoken on rezoning issues as a BIA President, DCL levy reductions as Chair of the Park Board, development applications as a community advocate on the local area implementation committee, and involved on multiple motions with Food Policy, Urban Indigenous, & LGBTQ+ committees.

[Rohana Rezel 🐘 @[email protected] @rohanarezel]

@DBrennanYVR I'm regular speaker at Vancouver City Council public hearings.

[Morgane Oger @MorganeOgerBC]

@PtFry @kgrahamcook @DBrennanYVR @tanyapazzy @ParkBoardWiebe @christineeboyle @CitizenYan @sarahblyth @betterparks @adriancrook @VancityDiego @VanRealDeal @reddyforchange I've had school board and city council motions passed, provincial and federal law enacted, and police policy changed.

I sat on #VSB39 standing committees and attended at least one sitting of every level of Government.

I sit on six elected nonprofit and governance boards.

[Mathew ⛑ @OccupyMedic]

@DBrennanYVR Ironically I have attended both Council & School Board meetings, but not Park Board. I guess 'fresh eyes' and 'no preconceptions' could be seen as an advantage?

[Heather Deal @VanRealDeal]

Great question. I thought about doing the math for myself (years times committees times meetings) but I have other things to do! 😀

[Diego Cardona @VancityDiego]

@DBrennanYVR Thanks for the question my friend, many many meetings. Different contexts; some related to my work as an advisory committee member, some as a supporter of the Access without fear policy, and many as a fresh voices member and doing advocacy around youth-in care housing
