In this thread Matt does a little bit of self-promotion and educates us a bit on Canadian politics. Does the SDMB have a policy on electioneering by candidates? Or is it simply up to them to ensure they’ve obeyed the local election rules?
We’ve usually allowed some self-promotion by members, especially if related to their art, writing, etc. They should get permission in advance, of course, if there’s money involved. I don’t know that a member-candidate has ever come up before, but I’d say this one is related to performance (i.e., acting) and so is not unreasonable.
I seem to recall that Matt was an NDP candidate several years ago.
Maybe it’s a Canadian thing.
LOL! All too often.
Thanks for the blessing. Actually I or others have mentioned it on the Dope when I ran before in 2000 and 2002.
