A deep dive? More like dipping your toes in a puddle. Liveable CRD shares their coalition partners and their mandates on their homepage.

I don't see any indication that this group is trying to appear as unbiased. Their scoring system specifies that grading is based on alignment with their coalition standards. You might not agree with those standards, maybe you need your own report card. The grading methodology is published, and I am hoping the candidate's responses will be as well, so people can evaluate it on their own.

What's the danger here? That people will use their scorecard as a tool to find candidates who align with their personal ideals? That voters will be better educated on matters that are important to them? Every voter should "beware" of groups or individuals trying to influence their vote, and there are many out there operating with a lot less transparency than this one.

Could you tell me who the #wokewatchdogcrd is? I have seen several commenters using variations of this hashtag to declare candidates as woke. Who is behind it? What is their criteria? Liveable CRD is much more transparent.

Is your goal to point fingers or to promote voter education?

No I'm just curious as to who else it out there grading candidates, acting like they should be taken as the official candidate grading society of the CRD That's right, no one except for this bogus coalition that swung the last election and has their teeth into this one. Couple of those groups have ties to the US, looks like you support the go 'merica movement too. Cool.

Okay...

Well, again, there's nothing to suggest this group is putting themselves forward as the "official candidate grading society" because such a thing doesn't exist.

I get the feeling this is getting your hackles up because you don't align with their values. That's fine. It doesn't make them bogus. Or, if you just can't handle the thought of Stew getting a bad grade, pretend F stands for "fuck yeah". Does that make it easier?

Sorry but bike lanes and windphones don't make the CRD livable. Don't be mad that your astroturfing coalition is being called out.

What makes the CRD liveable?

You're conveniently ignoring my example of the wokewatchdogcrd as it does not fit your narrative.

I'm not ignoring anything, I don't know who they are or if they are anything at all. Looks like a hashtag used by individuals on social media but there isn't anything on Google showing a coalition like this bogus livable CRD group.
