Well, that was pointless. Completely useless. Nothing was settled. Total waste of time and money. Here we are, right back where we started. Another minori…wait, what? Honestly, I did not expect this at all. I don’t see how anyone could have. Opinion polls around elections only have so much value and there’s only so much …

Are The Accessible Voting Machines Really This Difficult?
I want to sympathize with Steve Cutway, I really do. But unless he can’t read Braille (he apparently can), is slow (I get the sense he’s not), has never opened a bottle or in some other way figured out how a raised arrow works, never got lessons from the adults in his life on what …

Elections Ontario: We Make Voting Easy…Except We Don’t.
I was going to write about this anyway, but then I got a request for it. Awesome! People like reading about our wacky adventures. I feel bad that this is only going up the night before the actual election day, so can’t help anyone else who might want to use assistive voting, but oh well. …

Voting, Accessible Voting And A Voting Song Of Questionable Enjoyability
We spent a decent little chunk of time a few weeks back on different versions of Jolene. It was fun, so let’s revisit it, shall we? Only this time we’ll do so in topical parody form, because of course there would be a version made for the upcoming Ontario election. I wonder who this guy’s …

I’m Tired Of Bronco Bamma!
The U.S. election is over thank the lord, but I still think we can all relate to 4-year-old Abigael here. I’ve definitely had my fill of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romminey, that’s for sure. Don’t you just want to give this kid the biggest hug?
The Problems With First Past The Post Voting Explained
The other day at work, for some reason, we got talking about the whole First Past the Post electoral system. One of my coworkers mentioned a video aboutwhat’s bad about first past the post systems as illustrated by fictitious animal kingdom candidates. Kind of a neat, easy to understand video. Enjoy.
Is There A Lack Of Oxygen To His Brain?
I present to you Mitt Romney, United States presidential candidate. Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction. “I appreciate the fact that she is on …
Gay Marriage? Wrong! Gay Sleeping Around At Political Conventions? Well…
Not that there’s anything wrong with this, but it sure is interesting. Grindr, the friend-finding phone application that has become a popular destination for gay men looking to meet up, experienced a surge in traffic in the Tampa area during the Republican National Convention this week. According to figures provided by Grindr’s analytics department, the …

Hey Steve…
No, I’m not talking to our Steve. It’s the title of a video about our not so dear prime minister Stephen Harper. Next time you hear someone saying they’re going to vote Harper, just send them to this video. I think she did a fine job summing up his track record, complete with quotes from …
More On The Right And Wrong Of Robocalls
I can’t say that this comes as much of a surprise. The Guelph Mercury has reported that Marty Burke has filed a complaint with Elections Canada over the robocalls made by Frank Valeriote around the same time as somebody was blatantly misleading the public. Commissioner of Canada Elections c/oElections Canada Dear Commissioner, I wish …
