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!

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.

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!
