Pollievre lost his seat. In a night of neo-nazis eating shit, that is the shit-eatingest shit-eating I could have hoped for even before I stopped hoping for good things because it yielded too fucking much disappointment. #canadavotes2025

There’s no place I’d rather be.
Connecting with residents at their doorsteps here in Regina Wascana has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. If I am fortunate enough to be elected on Monday, one of my goals is to personally knock on every door in the constituency. Nothing can replace looking someone in the eye, listening to their concerns, and hearing their hopes for our community.

There's so much more I want to talk about, but given that this is my first time as a poll worker in Canada, I'll refrain until more than 60 days after the election because that's how long the DRO has to keep their copy of the Statement of Vote in their home.

I sure hope my DRO has a safe.

2/End

Things I Learned about Canada's federal elections:

1. Voters are "electors".

2. When you greet an elector, you must say "Hello, bonjour". Unless you are in Quebec, where you would say "Bonjour, hello" instead.

3. It is the job of individual poll workers known as Deputy Returning Officers (DROs) to count the ballots. If a candidate's representative disputes whether a specific ballot is marked for their candidate, it's the DRO who decides whether the objection will stand. 1/ #CanadaVotes2025

Got a call from Elections Canada yesterday, who asked me if I was still interested in working the federal election as a poll worker and I said yes. They gave me my choice of assignments; I took the one where I'll be going along with one other poll worker to senior care homes to make sure that all of those who are eligible to and want to can cast their ballots.

I'm so glad to be a poll worker again.

In-person VOTING TIP for #Canadians for this weekend…

When you've marked your ballot and folded it up again, do the poll worker a favour and bend the little tearoff tab back-and-forth, crease it, maybe start the tear for them.

They tear very poorly at the perforations and that slows down the processing.

Just a tiny little thing but it helps!

I did it too and it made that step by the poll worker very quick and easy.

Vote early in the Canadian Federal Election until April 22! 🇨🇦 Employers must give you time off to vote. Choose from 500 locations nationwide, often better located, to beat the lines. Don't wait for Easter weekend or Election Day ~ vote the quickest way! 🗳️

Dear #Australia

Two main choices for #CanadaVotes2025

A financial guru who helped guide Canada/UK through two huge crises

or

PP, with a BA in international relations, who became a snippy little political attack dog for 20+ years [oxymoron?]

The Libs have a star goalie but IDK if PP can skate.
We can go for the Stanley Cup or we can settle for a typical Leafs' season ending [haven't won since 67].

Bookies would give better odds on PP but hopefully that's a sucker bet.

Like Putin, like Trump, so too does Pierre-Harper, every pre-emptive attack is a false flag attack to cover up their own corrupt/fascist admission of guilt to their claim.

Fascist lie: foreign enviro funds are interference
Fascist exposed: they are the recipients of the fascist foreign funds of interference

Verified that we're on the voters' list for the upcoming #CanadianElection. Yay - we can vote.

After you check your registration there is a very short #survey about the process which includes a comment section at the end.

I wrote a short paragraph requesting #ElectionsCanada drop the birdsite due to its bad-actor owner/operator, and use the more fair-and-open Fediverse via Mastodon.

You can too.
