As the 2015 Federal Election enters its fifth year, two items to note:
- I received my voting card. I can vote. I’ve been told where to go and how to get there. Yay.
- The Conservatives are gaining, the NDP have slipped and the Liberals are right there in the middle. Statistically it’s a dead heat between the three parties. A lot of Canadians are apparently quite intolerant, more racist than expected, swayed by fear, hate science, easily manipulated and my old favorite, consistently willing to demonstrate the ability to vote against their own best interests. To these Canadians I say again: please don’t vote. Ever.
On the plus side, the last day of September has been pleasantly sunny and warm.
