Election Day in Canada


I don't like either leader of the two major parties and hope we get a minority government as that works well for Canadians!
Everyone should get to the polls and vote.  I'm going at 4 PM to the Elections Canada office to count our advance poll with Jessica.  We get training first and then do the tallying! 
On Wednesday, September 11th, our election was called.  It's only been forty days, but feels like two years.  This has been one of the most offensive elections I remember.  I am so fed up with the mud slinging!  After trying to watch the National English Debate, I turned my TV off in disgust.  I made up my mind and haven't changed it.

I'm so sad, our politics has come to this new low.  It was disgusting when the American's did it, and now it's filtering into our country.  Are we not better than this?

At a campaign rally in Richmond Hill, Ont. Saturday night, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was discussing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau when the crowd began to chant “lock him up.” Scheer quickly tried to get the crowd to stop, instead using the phrase “vote him out.”

Let's not be divided like the our neighbours to the south and respect everyone's choice.
My parents went to the polls voting for opposite candidates.
They cancelled each others vote and laughed all the way home, but they VOTED!
And for more humour:
In case you don't recognize the visitors, they are the leaders of the five national political parties.
The jokes write themselves!
