Our Canada, Our Budget/Notre Canada, notre budget

Some great work going on with our #24in24 / #24en24 social media rally against Bill C-38.

- #ourbudget &notrebudget had been tweeted 4,000 times in less than 24 hours

- #24in24 and #24en24 had been tweeted more than 2,000 times in less than 24 hours

It’s been inspiring for all of us in the House to see you rally against C-38 with us. Voting started later than anticipated, so I’m asking you to keep at it until we’re done.

Please keep tweeting/posting:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Until at least midnight tonight (EST). Let’s keep letting the Harper government know that they can’t pass this Trojan Horse without a fight. This is Our Budget — not theirs!

67 people out at the Our Budget meeting in Courtenay last night. Great work Comox Valley!

Some tips for our upcoming #24in24 social media rally. Dave Jarvis has instructions on how you can “autotweet” so you don’t have to stay up all night with us protesting this Trojan Horse Bill: http://davidjarvis.ca/autotweet/

Also, Vancouver-based social media dashboard HootSuite has a scheduling function that will allow you to schedule both tweets and Facebook posts for the 24 hour period. And you can sign up for a HootSuite account for free.

Either option should help you participate in our social media rally. T-minus 4.5 hours until we remind the Harper government over and over again for 24 hours that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

Dernière mise à jour : il semble que les votes sur le projet de loi C-38 commenceront aujourd’hui à 19 h, heure de l’Est. C’est donc à ce moment que nous commencerons notre cri de ralliement dans les médias sociaux.

Une fois de plus, l’idée est qu’à partir de 19 h nous partagions le texte suivant sur Twitter ou Facebook :

#notrebudget pas le vôtre #notrebudget pas le vôtre #13héros #divisezle protégez nos pensions, protégez nos côtes #C38 #cdnpoli #24en24

Je vous demande de continuer à partager ce texte toutes les heures jusqu’à la fin du débat sur le projet de loi C-38 (il devrait durer 24 heures). C’est comme un cri de ralliement, mais dans les médias sociaux.

Prenons position, défendons-nous, et rappelons au gouvernement Harper que ceci est notre budget, pas le leur!

Update: it looks like voting on C-38 will start today at 7:00pm Eastern. So that’s when we’ll aim to start our social media chant.

Again, the idea is starting at 5:30pm, tweet or post on Facebook the following:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Keep tweeting and posting that every hour for the entirety of the debate on Bill C-38 (expected to be 24 hours).

Let’s stand up, speak out, and remind the Harper government that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

Le 14 juin à minuit, le débat sur le projet de loi C-38 commencera à la Chambre des communes. J’ai besoin que vous joigniez votre voix à celle de l’opposition en Chambre. Voici comment.

À partir de minuit, partagez ceci sur Twitter ou Facebook :

#notrebudget pas le vôtre #notrebudget pas le vôtre #13héros #divisezle protégez nos pensions, protégez nos côtes #C38 #cdnpoli #24en24 

Je vous demande de continuer à partager ce texte toutes les heures jusqu’à la fin du débat sur le projet de loi C-38 (il devrait durer 24 heures). C’est comme un cri de ralliement, mais dans les médias sociaux.

Vous ne pouvez pas tous être en Chambre avec nous. Mais nous avons besoin que vous fassiez tellement de bruit dans les médias sociaux que vous serez tout ce que Tony Clement entendra quand il vérifiera Twitter.

Prenons position, défendons-nous, et rappelons au gouvernement Harper que ceci est notre budget, pas le leur!

At 12:00am on June 14, debate on Bill C-38 will begin in the House of Common. I need you to add your voices to our opposition in the House. Here’s how.

Starting at 12:00am, I want you to tweet or post on Facebook the following:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

I want you to keep tweeting and posting that every hour for the entirety of the debate on Bill C-38 (expected to be 24 hours). It’s like a rally chant, but on social media.

You can’t all be in the House with us. But we need you to make so much social media noise that you’re all Tony Clement sees when he checks Twitter.

Let’s stand up, speak out, and remind the Harper government that this is Our Budget — not theirs!
