It took me 4 minutes from arrival to departure.

Vote cast in the Canadian federal election.

Get out and vote. The biggest threat to democracy is low voter turnout. The polls mean nothing if people don’t show up.

Fingers Crossed for you all.
Scary times.
I heard about the mysterious deregistrations over there.

@AnguaDelphine really? I haven’t heard that here. Good thing in Canada, you can register to vote at the polling station on voting day.

Someone posted asking if anyone had not received a voting card. Then mentioned deregistrations.
So happy they got it wrong.

@shawnhooper This American congratulates you on voting and hopes that your fellow Canadians will follow your lead. I certainly won't suggest for whom they should vote, but I will ask that they vote for the candidate who can best stand strong against our own lying, vindictive, tariff-happy, authoritarian narcissist! #Canadianvote #Canada

I likewise voted. Though I assume my vote simply won't count, given our single member winner take all system of first past the post. If all votes were better counted (proportional representation), then more people would show up to vote. AFAIK, only two parties (NDP & Green) are promising electoral reform.
