Soundtrack? Yes. Soundtrack. This’ll do nicely, I think. I have to start out by admitting that I was wrong.

I saw this on Facebook, and couldn’t stop laughing. Thankfully it isn’t anything we have to worry about…but maybe we might have to later if we end up with a conservative government again, who knows. Someone wrote up what we should do if we woke up this morning and Stephen Harper was still in power. …

Hopefully none of you will need it, but this could be handy info to have in your back pocket just in case the new rules in Harper’s Unfair Elections Act give you or someone you know any trouble at the polls tomorrow. Local lawyer Craig Burley is offering his services free of charge on Monday …
A bit in this article about the challenges of accessible voting for the disabledcaught my eye. At the polls, visually impaired voters will now have access to magnifiers and voting screens that let in more light, as well as previously available resources like braille candidate lists and templates that, theoretically, allow a person to mark …
