Election Information

I recommend that you check the links yourself! I've copied some of the information below:

Ways to vote

See this page for full details.

Vote on election day (April 28)

Vote by mail

Special Ballots

Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can't change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

See this page for deadlines for when you can apply for one, and when they must receive it by. It also has information on what you must do differently when filling out this ballot: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=vote&dir=spe&document=index&lang=e

If you are having any issues, reach out to your local Elections Canada office to know your options.

Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.

I'm Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.

It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people's wishes .... Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.

Wab Kinew seems to be doing well. But I don't know if MB would give him up.

I like and respect him as a politician, but is he NDP-leaning? He strikes me as more centre.

[–] MacroCyclo@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, he's doing great!

I would honestly love to see Wab Kinew take a run at the federal leadership.

Regardless of how he may have turned his life around, I don't think Canada is ready for a federal leader with a previous criminal record.

Yeah, THAT'S the thing standing between them... [At this time Jerkface began rolling their eyes, and had not yet stopped by the time the comment needed to be submitted.]
