Took a break and my wife brought up a kitten video on Facebook.

It stopped in the middle to play a LPzc ad featuring the talking head of SNC Aladdin.

Oh my god gently caress you Justin dont ruin kitten videos.

The conservative party sent automated phone calls telling people that their polling station had been moved.

I think there was also a slightly dumber event that election where a conservative staffer tried to run off with a ballot box, and successfully got a university-based early voting station closed.

Oh right I forgot about this.

And FPTP is definitely a gently caress, I guess I was thinking more in the context of trickery or having reduced avenues to be able to vote, like what happens in the US.

i wouldn't be surprised if we did this to our indigenous population, being racist against them is a unifying thing for both the libs and the tories really

Harper brought in changes in 2007, with Liberal and Bloc support, to add a proof of ID + address requirement when voting (though neither is absolute, you can vote without ID), but it's still very easy and convenient to vote for nearly everybody.

If the people with power don't use enough of it to make up for those that are without, the transformers will overload from too much electricity. Thank you, citizen.


I dunno about voter suppression but I do know that a lot of 55+ apartment/condo buildings have advanced voting in their lobbies. Typically it's the conservatives that show up to the building beforehand and bring baked goods and coffee.

The main base for the PPC (after racists) is libertarians. Bernier was the leading libertarian leader within the CPC after all. Conservative libertarian -> moderate socialist is a common swing I think. The CCF being sort of conservative socialist helps explain that swing in the Canadian historical context a bit

It may be the widest swing between parties but it's not that out there

during the doug ford election the liberals actively spread misinformation about how voting works to stop any chance of a ndp victory

I'm trans and they keep sending me two voter cards, one for the right name and one for my dead name. If I wasn't the kind of idiot who actually believes in democracy (lol cspam) I could use these to go vote twice.
