For my fellow Ontarians (and if you’re not from Ontario, please pass around for visibility):
PLEASE VOTE. You don’t need your voting card, with the current mess-ups you may not even get it in time for the election. But you have the right to vote and have your voice heard. Bring a piece of government issued ID, and if it does not show your current address, bring something that has it (e.g. hydro bill). You can find out where you can vote here:
This election was called unexpectedly because the current government did not want to give the other parties time to prepare, because our country has been gearing up for a Federal election, not a Provincial one. Even Elections Ontario wasn’t fully prepared, which is why there’s mess-ups getting people voting cards. They knew we as a people were distracted and called a snap election to take advantage of that.
I won’t tell you who to vote for, just go do it – it’s the one way we’re all guaranteed a voice, a say, in some small way, and it’s a great “fuck you” to those who called this election in the hopes that everyone will be too distracted to show up.
With the BS coming from the administration to the South, voting is more important now than ever.
