PSA: Canada - VOTE

[Ray]

Did you know that only 60% of Canadians exercise their right to vote?

There is absolutely zero excuse not to get out there and vote.

By law, if your shift/work day covers the voting period your employer is required to give you time off to vote.

GO AND VOTE!!!

And encourage those around you to do the same.

Man, I got faked out and thought this was a clicky poll I could vote in. I love clicky polls.

But a good message nonetheless

Pretty empty at my polling station this morning, but I'm hoping that was because most people are at work at 10am.
I totally agree with the zero excuses idea, especially now that there are more voting options such as mail-in and advanced polls if you're absolutely unable to swing it today. Also, with over two months notice there really is no excuse not to have figured something out.
I'm excited to watch the results come in tonight, always interesting to see how things go.

Yes I just finished reading that and 5 other similar stories. It's pretty sickening to think that it may have been purposeful.

Exactly. I'd be side eyeing it less if it didn't just seem to be "favoring" conservative...

This and the fact that a couple provinces had trouble with their voter cards listing voting stations 100s of kilometers away has me really concerned about validity of all this.
