then asked who my neighbour was (she was manning the polling counter behind me)

I asked "why?"

"so you can vote in the proper polling district"

it was explained that the area (tiny town) was broken up into many polling districts

and I couldnt vote in the wrong district

stupid me

I thot I could vote anywhere in canada with proper ID

I had to agree to the privacy statement or I 'may' not be allowed to vote

My MAIL-in ballot didn't arrive in time as I moved recently and the forwarding address took 4 days to get to me, and the mail-in date had passed by that time. First time not voting in 50 years. Won't make a difference as Trudeau will get back in with a minority, supported by the socialist NDP, lead by the turban-wearing Singh. The East always has the final say.

The pollsters think a Trudeau minority is very likely

Isn't dominion a Canadian company? :kaid:

China wants Canada's fresh water and Truseau will give it to them. Remember, Canada is the Saudi Arabia of fresh water.

I wonder if Canada, the central ones, will split off of trudeau steals the election again?

Canada still uses paper voter lists and hand counts ballots for federal elections.

Say's a lot about a Canadian company.

Hope O'Toole gets it and boots that sissy Trudeau out on his keester.

Canada is much too nice a country and much too beautiful a place to suffer leadership from fruitcake Trudeau. First time I ever saw snow in quantity was in Canada on our honeymoon. We fell in love with the place and the people.

Not a given - OP is from Nthn ON. but w/ 5 parties in play (plus regionals) vote splitting on the right is going to pretty much assure him another Minority gov but, but there's always the chance if he has to give up too much in the way of Ministries/budget to the NDP, Justine may not be able to form a govt so, they could be doing this over in 16-20 weeks. Canucks are fairly frugal so wasting another XX million to get Turdo a temp majority could really back fire on him

Dominion has dual HQs (TO & Denver) but I'm pretty sure the real HQ is TO.

Hand counted Paper ballots are slow but, with proper controls, pretty reliable.
Elections Canada is the independent, non-partisan agency responsible for conducting federal elections and referendums.
From website Elections Canada - Home page for the 2021 Federal Election

To my knowledge, Elections Canada integrity has never been questioned although I'm sure some shenanigans have occurred at a Poll or Riding level periodically. Fudging a manual count is doable but a whole lot harder than hacking software. Sometimes going high tech isn't the right answer.

If it worked, he'd have up to another 5 year window to finish destroying the country .

Historically, Cdn coalitions haven't survived so another election could be called in the spring. Lots of variables.

Compared to my experience, this is considerably different. Nothing about privacy and they tell you what district station to vote at.

Bloomberg has nothing at this time.

CBC called it for Trudeau JUST LIKE FOX DID FOR BIDEN in 2020.
Pathetic bitch then went on a whiny rant about keep voting yada yada.
Sheesh, they don't even try to hide the fraud anymore.
God help Canada now that the liberals are looking to get a rigged 170 seat majority too.

It seems TII (aka Turdo, Justine, DLLP et al) just frittered away C$6-700 Million (maybe more) on a gamble and lost.
Of course his loss was at Cdn taxpayer expense and, rightfully so, he's in a worse position. As he lost seats, he may actually have to enter a formal coalition w/ the further-Left NDP or there'll be a Vote of No Confidence fairly quickly and the whole circus starts again.

Perhaps the guilding on his imperial aspirations is gone.
1. He lost a couple of Cabinet Ministers. Typically a Minister of Portfolio tends to seem to the storm as their Ridings always get a 1st/full share when Govt programs or other funding roll out. Likewise, Program Regional op centres tend to go to those ridings, increasing payrolls being spent there.

2. His kids seem to more visible on the Campaign trail than his wife of late. To be clear: I don't like this guy or his father. Never did, don't now and cannot see a change in their favour in the future.

If you look at almost every picture of him and another woman over the last 12-15 years, he has a look on his face reminiscent of a seducer/con man. In my mind, such glances are for one's spouse/SO and should be backed up by commitment and loyal affection. I've always thought Turdo was an opportunistic womaniser, maybe even worse. Based on some of the info leaked, there's at least two incidents in his past where, if not for his name/ascending position, an ordinary man would have faced an in-depth investigation and likely been charged.

Time will tell where this all shakes out.

The Conservatives could have picked up one more seat in BC but the PPC (ultra right) picked up enough votes to keep the New Democrat in place...... the useless treehugger who is against any kind of improvement in business v. environment. My old riding - couldn't get rid of him, when everyone else around us was Blue (conserv)

He needed 170 seats and got 156? The so called conservatives got 121 and the other HARD LEFT parties got the rest.

Canada will continue its slide onto leftist idiocy. Like I said: Alberta and Manitoba was it need to PHYSICIALLY LEAVE the Federal union. Or was it Sas whatever:D.

A few observations from the numbers today. Almost all the local ridings to me that went liberal... the Peoples Party of Canada picked off enough votes to be the margin of difference. PPC for those that don't know split from the Conservatives when the guy who should have won the leadership was cheated out of it a few years ago.

PPC only had their second election since forming and is being the conservative spoiler. If the conservatives were smart they would seek reconciliation. Think of it as PPC = Trump Supporters, Conservatives = Rinos. With the conservative rank and file divided between voting their ideals in the PPC or voting to remove Trudeau by voting conservative. At the least it could take several more elections for the PPC to have a chance of winning a seat. So unless there is reconciliation there will be a split on the right that gives the win to the Liberals.

The Liberals have the same issue with the NDP splitting their vote. But they usually work together.

The way to a change is to churn up the left between those two. Mend the split on the right. And turn out the base. :)

Well, the Liberals got a minority, minority governments it is said last 18 to 24 months, so you will get another chance to vote in the not too distant future.

There is a western separation movement which is gaining strength.

The main priority was to get rid of Trudeau, so many righties held their noses and voted Conservative so as to not split the vote. There aren’t many leaders in PPC yet so it will take time

Yeah I still have 'Republic of Alberta Tees' - I bought several and donated cash plus time.

Problem is there are two many separatists who want to lead or, as has happened before, move to the Federal stage. Like the Bloc or any of the Western Separatist parties (WCC et al) just how much support for that can you really expect to drum up nationally?

As a whole, there's no focus on the real issue: separation.

Sort that out first. Until that happens, nothing else can!!

Once that's done, then people can focus on who's going to lead.

Time for some group with a 'clear, focused eye-on-the-prize' to get a Western Separation referendum rolling (Lakehead to Vancouver Island, US border to the Arctic Circle).
Once that passes, then start to sort out the new boundaries and form of government.

Until then ....:tg:

There'll still be politicians who aspire to 'lead'. (Hack! YAK! SPIT!! :kk2:)

Separate FIRST!!


Now that would be a perfect legacy for Turdo! The Canadian PM who finally broke the country apart!!
