Did you know that condo boards that host hybrid or virtual owners’ meetings must ensure that everyone reasonably participate? Choosing the right type of meeting for your condo corporation, ensures everyone can be involved, especially our older residents who may find virtual meetings challenging. Here are the factors to consider when deciding on in-person, virtual or hybrid: 📞 All attendees must be able to contribute and participate reasonably. 🔊 Attendees should be able to see or hear the proceedings constantly. 🗳️ Voting rights must be upheld for those entitled. Let's make sure meetings are inclusive and effective for all. 👥🏠 #CondoLiving #CAOCommunity #Inclusivity #VirtualMeetings

💁♂️ Have you heard of hybrid voting? Hybrid voting combines in-person and online options - ideal for busy communities!

We keep voting like it’s first past the vote - please stop - asking for a friend. Ever felt like you're watching a black-and-white film in the age of 4K? That’s how I feel about our approach to our MMP system. We've got a high-res, technicolour democracy model, but we're still viewing it through the lens of the old 'first past the post' system. And, let me tell you, it’s neither flattering nor efficient. “Why bother voting for small parties?” or “Strategically, I will only vote for who might get in”. Look, I get it. These statements would be spot on... if we were still in the 'first past the post' days. But we’ve upgraded! It's like trying to run the latest apps on a Nokia 3310. Not happening. We all need to upgrade our thinking, approach and ideas of how to choose our candidate and party vote. Now, debates. Ah, the lively and (often) theatrical realm of political duels! Another part we are not getting quite right. Instead of showing who is the best collaborator and influencer for our values, we’re stuck in winner and looser mode! Candidates spar like it's a boxing match, defending their corners with aggression and division. Yet, MMP is more of a dance than a boxing match, where we show you not just how we can stand on our own, but also how we move and work and influence in harmony with others, especially the ones we dont agree with. Yes, we're vying for your votes, but there's a dance floor big enough for all of us. The question is, can we learn some new moves? Speaking of dance floors, ever noticed how some parties and candidates get invted to events and some dont? And how some candaidtes just go to the events that ‘suit’ them and ignore the harder crowds? That's right, our dear private companies, universities, media outlets, candidates and community groups, with their "selection criteria" for debate invites, seem to have a bit of a bouncer attitude. By gatekeeping the debates, they inadvertently shape the narrative and the perceived validity of parties and candidates, creating nothing more than echo chambers. It's a bit like choosing the school football team based on shoe size. Does not work. So, a reminder: our MMP system isn't just some quirky political jargon. It's a call for a refreshed mindset on voting, debating, and election reporting. The onus isn't just on politicians; it's on all of us to upgrade ourselves so we can harness its full potential. To sum it up? Let's stop trying to play vinyl records on a Spotify playlist. **Yours in hoping for a clearer tune,** Natalia Albert A new candidate from a small party, trying to jam in a world still attuned to the old hits.

We are excited to announce an upcoming event that is sure to empower and inspire our local democracy - the Community Voting Awareness Fair: Empowering our Local Democracy. This event aims to highlight the importance of voting on the issues rather than simply voting for individuals. In today's complex political landscape, it is imperative that we focus on the issues, policies, and platforms that our candidates propose. By prioritizing the issues, we can ensure that our voices are being heard and that the decisions made reflect the needs and values of our community. Additionally, the fair will feature guest speakers who are experts in the fields of politics, public policy, and community engagement. These speakers will share their insights and experiences, providing you with valuable tools and resources to help you navigate the voting process. Beyond the educational aspect, there will also be plenty of time for networking and connecting with fellow community members. We believe that building strong relationships within our community is vital to creating positive change. Through collaboration, support, and understanding, we can amplify our voices and make a real impact on the future of our community. So, be on the lookout for future post with more details regarding the time and date. Make sure to invite friends and neighbors, and plan to join us at the Community Voting Awareness Fair: Empowering our Local Democracy. Together, let us foster a culture of informed, engaged, and issue-focused voting. By doing so, we can ensure that our community's values are reflected in the decisions that shape our future. We look forward to seeing you there!
