Thirteen-year-old boy takes on B.C. NDP MLA with recall campaign
This past weekend, a young teenager in North Vancouver took political activism to a level rarely seen among people his age by organizing a protest and recall campaign targeting B.C. NDP MLA Bowinn Ma.
Thirteen-year-old Daniel Thiele organized Saturday's demonstration outside Ma's North Vancouver constituency office, where just under 30 people gathered to hear speeches about frustrations with the NDP government.
Ahead of the event, Thiele described the protest as an opportunity for residents to “take back our community” and “let our voices be heard,” while calling on the government to do better on issues including B.C.'s housing crisis, broken promises and a lack of transparency.
Thiele, who was only 12-years-old when he first came up with the idea, is now spearheading an effort to recall Ma in North Vancouver-Lonsdale.
Recall campaigns allow voters to attempt to remove an MLA from office between elections thus triggering a byelection, but the threshold in B.C. is notoriously difficult to meet. Thiele's campaign says a total of 17,613 valid signatures are required to trigger a recall for Ma’s seat, and no B.C. MLA has ever been successfully removed through the process.
Those odds haven't discouraged the young organizer, who says the effort is worthwhile even if only to remind elected officials who they work for.
“A recall is not partisan games or personal attacks. A recall is the ultimate safety valve of accountability. It sends a message to every politician in Victoria regardless of their party banner that they work for us. They have to answer to us and if they refuse to represent us we have the constitutional power to remove them,” Thiele told those gathered outside Ma's office.
The teenager also assembled a lineup of speakers to address a range of issues affecting British Columbians, including OneBC candidate and former educator Jim McMurtry, former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld, and Surrey conservative mayoral candidate Honveer Randhawa.
For Thiele, however, the protest was also about something bigger than one MLA or one recall campaign: showing other young people that they don't have to wait until they're old enough to vote to make their voices heard.

@Dallas_Brodie People seem to have a hard time understanding that there is a distinction and not everyone needs to be one big happy family that includes every ideology.

@HelloFreshCA
La gente se enfada mucho con la suelta de tortugas tan lejos de la orilla,
Pero para el que no lo sabe,
Esto tiene un proceso,
Aunque parezca cruel hacerlas caminar por la arena arrastrando su peso,
esa caminata es vital para su supervivencia por tres razones científicas
La Impronta magnética: Al tocar la arena, graban el campo magnético de esa playa exacta en su memoria. Esto activa su "GPS natural", permitiéndoles regresar al mismo lugar 20 años después para poner sus propios huevos.
Activación muscular: El esfuerzo físico de avanzar por la playa estimula su sistema circulatorio, expande sus pulmones y calienta sus aletas. Es el entrenamiento de cardio que necesitan para resistir el frenesí de natación en el océano.
Orientación espacial: Aprenden a guiarse por el reflejo de la luz del horizonte y la gravedad, corrigiendo su rumbo instintivamente para no perderse al entrar al agua.¡La naturaleza es perfecta!😍😍Ayudarlas de más y meterlas directo al agua les quita las herramientas que necesitan para sobrevivir.
Así que no os enfadéis 😍
@IMTHATGUY1693@FiftyFootNest All the real Canadians lost their love for this country when the freedom convoy was destroyed by their government using illegal and unethical means
@BrianRo88242805@EricLDaugh Real Canadians want to wake up and realize the last 11 years of corrupt government was just a bad dream from eating sushi the night before. Either that, or wake up and discover they're suddenly American citizens now
