One week into this election, the Libertarian war machine is gearing up! Duck your heads and run for cover folks.

I got this message on my Facebook account, curtsey of the Libertarian Party group :

Act Now! Run for the Libertarian Party of Canada

There are still a few days left to run as a candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada! The recruitment committee is busy!

Don’t put it off! If you want to run, fax or email a scanned copy of your membership form to info@libertarian.ca – mailing your membership fee is fine. Contact info@libertarian.ca and let them know you would like to run as a candidate. Ask them if your own riding or a nearby electoral district is available.

Membership forms are here: http://libertarian.ca/english/libertarian-party-join.html – sign as a voting member

The nomination deadline for all candidates to see their local returning officer is September 22: you need a $1000 deposit, 100+ signatures, an official agent (and auditor), and a letter from party leader. These are all obstacles that need some time to resolve. Waiting until the 20th is pushing it. The LPC may be able to help you find an official agent but please see if you can find someone to assist you.

Meanwhile, on the Libertarian Party frontpage, Phil Bender is still running in the by-election for Guelph.

This is sooooo sad …
