Velvet Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I just came back from the polls.I encourage one and all to vote (as the saying goes, vote early and vote often). This country asks very little of it's population, and this is the big request. Democracy works best if everyone votes.For those that think their vote doesn't count: under our fairly new system each vote sends $2 directly to the party voted for, and besides, if you don't vote you make someone elses vote worth double. You don't want to make some stupid-heads vote worth double do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I suspect that the voter turnout will be the highest in many years– there's that air of uncertainty around that I think will light a fire under those who have been too apathetic in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 By law everyone gets 3 hours to vote during regular business hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 in that case I should take the rest of the day off!as for voting...been there, done that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 By law everyone gets 3 hours to vote during regular business hours. I think there's a bit more subtlety to the law. i.e. You are entitled to a voting period of 3 consecutive hours and if this is not possible without leaving work then your employeer is obligated to let you take the time off.In my case I get off at 5pm, polls close at 9:30pm so there's my 3 hours. i.e. I don't get to leave work early.

AD Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I just triedhttp://www.elections.ca/scripts/pss/FindED.aspx?L=eand, for my postal code (in Ottawa-West Nepean), it worked fine.still doesn't work for me. K2P 0W4. the correct answer is dominion chalmers church, poll 079. that website - i put in my postal code, then select 'where do i vote' under voting process, then it says it can't find my postal code "Your postal code did not identify a polling station for advance voting. Please enter your address below, or call the office below for assistance." note that i don't care about advance polling today. I've entered it with a space, without a space, with caps, without caps, etc.so i called them. they were very fast and gave me the necessary info. wonder why the site won't work though.

Thorgnor Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 mandatory jailtime for first time drug charges... for youth. no sarcasm, no smilies and apparently no empathy.maybe we can give the homeless tax cuts so that they can get jobs.enlightening stuff.I just gave my donation to the demogogue who I think is most likely to admit that they may need to re-evaluate a plan in light of current circumstances. Between my good friend and I, we've thrust four dollars of mandate towards the two on the left. Interestingly, I asked the man behind the table at my polling station why Elections Canada had imposed the "proof of identity" test on our voting process. I asked "If there were really that many people trying to falsify their identities?" He winked (for real) and said that they told him that "It wasn't such a problem in London but moreso in Toronto or Hamilton or Vancouver. You know?" So I said, "Like where Muslim women might try and vote?" He laughed and winked again, saying "No comment, I guess. We'll talk after you're done."When he saw my straight face, he stopped laughing and turned away with red cheeks. happy election day Canada?

jaybone Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) For those who have not yet voted and want to find out what the parties are saying about the major issues, check out this link from the CBC. It's pretty basic but pretty informative. CBC LINK Edited October 14, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
