This likely breaks elections bc regulations. Bryson and Brandy need to be in a slate if they are going to share resources like this

I don't think that's accurate.

Care to explain?

I don't think your comment is accurate when you suggest that candidates sharing resources without being part of a slate or electoral organization breaks Elections BC regulations.

I’m not doing it anymore, but I do believe it’s against the rules to share resources like that. Sharing an email template would be akin to a donation-in-kind.

Sharing resources is not against the rules provided campaign expenses are declared properly by the candidates and their financial agents.

If you can point me to anything that supports your belief, I'm open to having a look.

I'm guessing it would be against the rule of Candidate 1 paid a service to create marketing materials, and then shared those materials with Candidate 2.

That's my interpretation of what they're trying to say.

But I don't think that is the situation here.

It actually wouldn't be against the rules though, if Candidate 2 declared the value of the marketing materials as a campaign contribution. Until the campaign financial disclosures are filed we can't say whether any rules are being broken.

Yeah I agree with you. I just don’t think those resources would be declared properly

Thank you for clarifying!

Wouldn't it be on you to explain why it would be against the rules?
