Exercise your Franchise

Did you know that, to vote, all you have to have at the polls is somebody to sign for you to say that you are who you say you are. That's pretty easy to find. That's stinking easy to find. Do you work today? Is that the excuse you're using to not vote? I'll tell you what, your employer is legally obligated to give you time off work to vote. Take that time. Vote. Did you realize it was voting day late in the afternoon and you don't think you'll have time to hit the polls? They're open until 7:00 tonight; just don't wait too long, do it now. Do you not have transportation to the polls? They should be walking distance, get some fresh air. If they're not, phone the NDP and they might be able to give you a ride (you don't even have to be voting for them). Elections Canada has a handy polling station finder on their website if you don't know where to vote. People, there is really no reason why you shouldn't exercise your franchise and vote. The most commonly used excuse, however, is that people simply don't like any of the candidates. That's the worst load of crap I've ever heard. If you really thought about, you would at least find a candidate that wasn't quite as bad as the others. Choose one and vote. This is serious stuff people.
