Penultimate day to vote in the bencher election. ON lawyers, if you have not voted please do so today. Apathy got us chaos last election. IMO, the best vote this time is GGC down the ticket.

We've heard a lot about "creep" this Bencher election. Facilitating access to justice isn’t "creep.” Here are my remarks about this important part of our collective responsibility as lawyers. When voting opens tomorrow, please support all of our @BGG_Coalition candidates.

With respect not sure how you can call vote splitting alarmism. That is exactly how the @FullStopTeam was elected in 2019. In 2019 just like this now anyone who signed up was added to their slate. In 2019 that meant anyone who signed up became a bencher.

This entire “vote splitting” alarmism for @LawSocietyLSO is based on a false premise. Voting for independents only a risk if those independents are not a responsible and reliable partner in convocation. However, it is a real risk to slate domination. Perhaps that’s the real fear.

Please visit jonathanrosenthal.ca  explaining why, this sole practitioner, is running for bencher.    Please  support  the entire good governance coalition.  I have witnessed the conduct of many of the fullstop.  Self-regulation is in jeopardy. @BGG_Coalition
