Sébastien CôRhino quoted in senate by Senator Prosper during bill C-25 debate 😀
Today at LCJC currently reviewing bill C-25, Senator Julie Miville-Dechêne confirms MPs are in a conflict of interest when it comes to deciding the rules of their own election
On July 11th, 2026 during debate of C-25 (anti-long ballot) Minister Mackinnon gives response to question about proportional representation, blames "lack of consensus" for past electoral reform failures
when writing election legislation, OF COURSE parliamentarians have a real conflict of interest
"they were always trying to break the record... we all agreed we had to take action"
mark carney canonically really doesn't like long ballots, he wants them gone
pierre poilievre takes a bold stance AGAINST legislation that aims to curtail "unduly long ballots"
Today at PROC MPs catch at the very last minute what would have been quite the embarrassing oversight in Bill C-25. Prior to today's amendment Official Agents were been tied to candidates for eternity (rather than per election cycle)
"We're just doing a small protest and we follow every law this is the crazy part, we follow every law while a lot of protests don't follow all the laws and that's ok" - Sébastien CoRhino
Who funds the LBC??? Soros? Illuminati? Enquiring Senator needs to know🙄
"Our goal at the LBC is not to do long ballot and long ballot and long ballot for the next decades, our goal is to have a real democratic system that is neutral and equal for all Canadians" CoRhino
CoRhino calls on Senate to end an inappropriate conflict of interest

I don't think the rules for hockey games should be written by the winners of the last Stanley cup...so why are the rules for the election written by the winners of the last election" -Sébastien CoRhino
Sebastien CoRhino appeared at Senate today😀 Lots more clips incoming!
Last clip of the day. Senator Todd Lewis complements the LBC as getting "a lot of press" and "very effective" I've always suspected the real gripe MPs have with long ballots is that we get attention and how we use that attention, EC's write in ballot solved all other issues.
Senator Batters is not happy, demands tougher penalties for long ballot organizers #billc-25
CEO of Elections Canada responding to a question about gerrymandering in the Senate today: "[The act] was created to take away from political actors the task of drawing boundaries...and it does create completely independent commissions and it is a highly valued aspect of our democratic process"
Sébastien CoRhino will be speaking before the Senate in behalf of the LBC next Thursday 🎉🎉🎉 sencanada.ca/en/committee...
Overwhelming majority of Albertans agree independent commissions should be drawing electoral boundaries probe-research.com/polls/albert...
Professor Andrea Lawlor explains to PROC why it is a problem that MPs have left political parties and the personal data they have on Canadians exempt from privacy law & how bill C-25 does alarmingly little to safeguard voters' data & prevent privacy breaches
That moment you realize what you're saying doesn't make sense mid-sentence
Longest Ballot Committee exploits recorded in the HOC transcripts (hansard) for posterity ❤️
Another PROC MP fooled by Northern Perspective 🤦...Matt Jeneroux double checks to make sure Bill C-25 would ban blank candidate forms
we try to be clear. Here’s the title page from our last year’s submissions to PROC lol
