Not around me. Lines were insane at advanced voting! Like 2+ hour lineups in a lot of ridings!
Wow, that sucks. I voted on a Sunday afternoon, in and out in less than 5 mins. There was a lineup on the Friday morning, so I waited.
I voted on Easter Monday in the morning. It was really short. like in and out in less than 10 minutes. Maybe 5 minutes? My neighbors voted on day 1 and said it was pretty long. It's generally good to not do things at the beginning or the end of a thing
Not sure how I feel. Looks like they can get votes to pass stuff with an NDP coalition, but that's exactly what I didn't want. I wanted the party to pivot a little to right.
I suspect this minority government won't last as long as the last one.
I heard 79% voter turnout in Carleton. Probably the highest in the country. Accessibility wasn't an issue.
They just wanted PP gone.
The only reason we're not looking at a Conservative majority this morning is because PP himself is deeply unpopular. If almost anyone else was running they would have won probably by a landslide.
It’s going to be interesting to see where this bout of national amnesia lands us. The Trudeau Liberals were essentially reelected, bringing the same policies that have hamstrung our economy and society.
Now we’ll see if Carney is capable of governing, I’ll just say that I hope he doesn’t fuck up too badly. Because what could go wrong putting a rookie in the nation’s top job?
I can only trust that the Liberals are sending a huge bouquet to thank Trump for saving their party and keeping them in power.

I don’t think you read the article. My point has nothing to do with partisan politics.

I think if Harris had been President then we would have seen a different result as you say.
But everyone got trolled by Trump and voted based on external fear instead of domestic issues.

That may be the case - but despite what Trump would like, the world is one system, and the concepts of domestic and international are quite intertwined these days. Look at the label on any of your clothes. Check where your electronics are made. Look at where your medications were researched and developed. Every issue is a domestic one - especially a lunatic sharing a land border making repeated statements about taking over Canada, and especially a lunatic starting trade wars, consequences be damned, and especially a lunatic who declares that the strategy is to create uncertainty (aka chaos). I would like to know what domestic issues are more important than Canadians' abilities to pay bills, keep roofs over our heads, and maintain our quality of life - than what Trump's impact has been on our economy (so far).

Did you read the comment you responded to?
You say accessibility wasn’t an issue but the whole point of the article is how the Longest Ballot protest caused issues and anxiety for a man with multiple disabilities. That’s an accessibility issue as far as I can tell. Not the intent of the protesters but responsibility ultimately lies with them.

"trolled by trump". haha. both parties made trump a major issue, as they should have. biggest political power on the planet is wreaking economic havoc all over the place and causing chaos at every turn. that's not trolling. People losing thousands in life savings and profits in business is not "trolling". Why do you think both major parties increased their vote share and the greens and oranges lost big time? because it's a big issue. if you think trump's chaos isn't related to domestic issues, you have your head in the sand.

your point is one person had trouble voting because of long lines (a problem all over the country) and the long ballot causing issues for him and his mother. While I sympathize with him, that's not why pp lost. He lost cuz he's a lying asshole.

Percentage of Canadians whose vote was impacted by their negative feelings towards Trump? Certainly not zero. Don't say Trump doesn't have coattails...he very well have delivered that victory yesterday.

I’m glad you have some sympathy for the man in the article, why the need to gloat?
I made other posts you can gloat over, I don’t know why this article is being politicized when it had nothing to do with the parties and should focus on Elections Canada if anything.
The Longest Ballot people screwed this man. Maybe they need to reassess their approach.

I can only assume that in the interests of fairness the Longest Ballot protest will exclusively target Carney’s riding in the next election, otherwise they’ve chosen a side and are yet another partisan organization.

Is this the weird thing the conservative universe is focusing on today?
