Remember your employer is required to allow three hours PAID to cast your ballot today if you didn't already in the advance polls.
Also, if you are in line when the polls close tonight STAY IN LINE. As long as you are in line when the poll closes you have a right to cast your ballot.
Gratitude 
for Elections Canada 
the independent, singular national agency that coordinates the business of getting millions of us to the polls.
And a big shout out to the thousands of temporary poll workers who pull it all together in a seamless + professional way.
We are well served.

"“If Pierre has the same results as we had under Erin O’Toole and Andrew Scheer and he loses his riding as well, all hell will break loose. The party will fracture,” said Ms. LeBreton, who served in Mr. Poilievre’s Ottawa-Carleton riding association. She resigned over Mr. Poilievre’s support of the trucker convoy on Parliament Hill."
Sweet news!

Headline in today's Times Colonist, Victoria's newspaper. What it doesn't state is this chicanery of Conservative candidates not showing up to candidate meetings has been going on since Harper days. It is all about 'controlling the message' leaving only the party leader to serve as the Conservative's spokesperson. I find it completely undemocratic.

@Adorable_Sergal For someone like me, very much looking in from the outside, this election of yours seems very much like one in which to put the smaller issues aside and think about where you stand in the *big* few questions.
I don't follow Canadian interior party politics and I'm not up to what's decided at what levels of government in the Canadian political system, but I'm pretty sure that with most smaller issues, getting back to them in a few years won't be a disaster.
Hey hosers, we've all been typing "elbows up" for a while. Well, now's the time to defend ourselves at the polls and really think about who wants us to bend a knee to America. We've got problems, but let's keep 'em Canada's problems and not America's problems, eh?
Canadian Federal Election English debate so far:
Blanchet: Slightly squiffy visiting Uncle
Singh: Intense teen brother trying to correct the adults
Poilievre: Former family friend (uninvited) reminding everyone why he doesn’t get invitations
Carney: Beleaguered Dad who can’t get a word in

Not thinking of a move to #Canada unless Conservatives are trounced in the next election - it's not enough that Liberals or a coalition wins, there has to be a huge gap between winners and the Conservatives. Even if the "good guys" (neoliberals not that different from Democrats here, which isn't a compliment) win, I'd be moving to a country that has been steadily moving right at nearly the same pace as the #USA, with similar xenophobia and racism.
Not a fun thought.
