Necessary Voting In Unnecessary Elections

So we’re voting again. I’m not looking forward to dealing with this right now, but I don’t really have a choice so off we go. I thought I’d post what answers I could find about the process, and ask a few questions of my own. First of all, if you’re wondering if your vaccine status …

Shut Up, Team Prime Minister

My god, the balls on this guy. Canadians pull together? We work as a team? That’s how we get big things done? By finding ways to work together? It’s what we always do? Whatever you say, Mr. only person in the whole damn country who is convinced that nobody is working with him so we …

You Do Not Owe The Ontario Progressive Conservatives Any Money

From time to time, I get emails from shifty marketing and search optimization scumbags. Their letters are marked as coming from somewhere important sounding like domain services. They tell me that I owe a balance of a few hundred dollars and that if I don’t pay up, I will lose access to either my entire …

Looks Like I’m An NDP Voter Again

Not because of any idea they have in particular although they generally have some pretty good ones. My choice is based on a really, really bad idea the Liberals had.

The Best American Election Day Promise

Hi there, American friends and neighbours. I have a song for you that I’m going to need you to listen to, keep in your heads and then act upon in early November or whenever you’re allowed to vote by mail. I won’t vote Trump…I wont’ vote Trump…I won’t vote Trump… Hey, Friends! This one’s a …

How About We Don’t Have An Election

Most Canadians comfortable with an election amid coronavirus — what would it look like? Count me firmly in the camp of not most Canadians, then. I’m not personally opposed to going out to vote right now. I don’t live in a region that’s currently overrun by disease, so I’m sure I would be fine. But …

Robocalls Are Telling People To Vote Tomorrow Rather Than Today. Don’t Do That

Hopefully anyone who needs to see this will see it in time. As I type your polls should still be open no matter where you live, so go vote if you haven’t. Robocalls tell voters to head to the polls a day late Misleading robocalls reported in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Elections Canada …
