Recall Petition Timeline Oak Bay - Gordon Head Last day February 4th 4:30pm

Elections BC 
Petition expenses limits for proponent and Member: $35,938.72


As you can see, the number of Canvassers are steadily going up.  Whether this means that there should have been more canvassers initially, to reach the final day of February 4th, or there's more interest on the part of those that have recently signed up, or for those that have signed up maybe it has more to do with the remarks by their MLA as stated in Vaughn Palmer's column today in the Vancouver Sun:

"She recounted several allegations of abuse involving the petitioners and I gather her organizers are assembling the evidence for a formal complaint to Elections BC, or, failing that, in court" January 7, 2011

UPDATE  Saturday, December 4th, 2010    Various news media outlets have said that the "army" of canvassers was anywhere from 150 to 160.

On December 15th I said "This isn't to say there's been an increase, but its now duly noted on this blog.  If the number of registered Canvassers is increasing, then that might be a tell-tale sign.........."

Canvassers     Elections BC   Recall Petition Canvasser Guide and Application

How do I become a canvasser?

Contact the proponent of the recall petition. Once a recall petition application is submitted to Elections BC for approval, proponents can start recruiting canvassers. The proponent will coordinate recruitment of volunteers, manage the canvasser application process and forward canvasser applications to Elections BC for processing.

If I sign the petition, will my personal information be made public?

If a voter signs a petition sheet, their name, address, signature and phone number will be available for public inspection at the office of the Chief Electoral Officer. The voter may request that their residential address and telephone number be obscured from public inspection by checking the box next to their signature on the petition.

*******************************************************************

This is the current time line for the Petition for Oak Bay - Gordon Head

Sort of looks like a Smoking Gun.    

"The petition will be issued on Monday, December 6, 2010, and at that time, registered canvassers may begin collecting signatures,”  -  Craig James (November 30th)

**************************************************************************

This WAS the time line for the Petition for Oak Bay - Gordon Head and has three pieces of information that the new one doesn't have:
A) Below the line left hand side
    "18 months or later following an election"
B) Above the line, to the left of AIP
    "Notice to proponent, Member and Speaker of the House
C) Above the line, at end of 60 Days
   "Proponent, Member, and Speaker of the House notified
    if petition meets threshold and if it will proceed to verification"

Not trying to tell Elections BC Acting Chief Election Officer what to do, but is there some sort of proof that the Speaker of the House AND the Member (is this an abbreviation of MLA also known as Member of the Legislative Assembly) have actually received the paper work.....
