CAMP Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well it's been almost a year since the beginnings of the Canadian Alternative Members Party (CAMP) started up and now has amalgamated with the Democracy Party of Canada. We are well on our way to having our endorsements necessary to obtain party status. Now our big problem is finding a Chief Agent for the party. Does anyone know anyone who might be interested in that kind of work? Seems it's near impossilbe to find anyone. Any help appreciated.

benny Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) As a French Canadian, I can only, for now, notify you of a translation error in the French section of your otherwise very fine website: "get involved!" cannot be translated "obtenir impliqué" but simply "s'impliquer" (French has reflective mode for verbs).

CAMP Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks Benny, We use the universal translater and it does put out some stuff that is not right. would you be interested in helping us out with the organizing of our party and website. Even if it's just getting the translation stuff right? We meet online using skype almost every Monday evening at 7. If you're interested let me know. All you need is either a telephone that we would call you so you have no charge or you can use your computer with speakers and microphone if you have that hardware. Best Regards Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffrey Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Essientially anyone can be a chief agent. Do you not have any friends or supporters that may be interested in helping you out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMP Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Apply! Hi benny, we checked with Elections Canada about the name and they won't allow the name because of the possibility of confusion among voters to NDP. So for now we will use the Central Party of Canada and continue at a new/old web address that is re-vamped to take in the same message. However we don't have the french side done up yet at all so we really need your help now. contact me at [email protected] and let me know if you're still interested. The web sit is at canadian-alternative.com.... a long story of amalgamations and splits and more amalgamations to finally we have something workable that just might get registered.

Good moments to reach me at home are: around noon and around 6 pm. You have to know that I almost never speak English so, I will sound rusty on the phone but I look forward to speak to you.

Skype is better and you can phone any phone number in North American with it too for 20 bucks a year if you choose to pay. Everyone else is free to skype if they have it on there computer. Basically turns one window on your computer into a phone system. We also hold online conferences with many people weekly for the party meetings.

Tom Central Party will be in French Parti Centriste, which is, I think, a much better name than democracy party.
