Message to Canadians for Monday, September 20

[mikethompson]

Hello fellow Canadians!

I truly hope this will not get political, and i trust that no one will turn it down that ugly road.

Please remember that on voting day there will probably be long lines and wait times, due to volume and Covid protocols. Please remember to be kind to the poll workers, who have a few hours training and will be working long hours.

Are you a poll worker Mike? Man that just doesn't sound right. You know what I mean.

Not a problem here in a small town, the nice old ladies that run the station always good to chat with for a bit. Kinda helps we're all neighbours I guess.

I've been so disinterested in politics lately that I actually don't know who the leader of my party is.
The only thing that could change my vote is if I see "Alberta Separatist Party" on the ballot.
North America has too many people for just three countries.

I voted in the advance polls. It took an hour from the time I arrived to the time I left but everyone was pleasant and on good behaviour

Wishing everyone in the Great White North a happy and safe vote today!

My polling place was laid back, as usual. Small town, good honest people.

It's pretty laid back here in Kansas but with sending in legal ballots by post has made it so easy.

I'm a persistent voter, having voted for the first time in Navy boot camp. I vote in all the run-offs and super local elections, and sometimes it is just me and the poll workers. No lines then. I hope things go smoothly for Canadians. I have my favorites in your election, but no politics.

Interesting. I saw a neighbour walk out of her home and head in the direction of the polling place and she was back within half a pipe bowl. Guess she knew the right timing. This, during the advanced polling, mind you.

Dunno about to-day.

I love small towns. There were six booths, all empty. I was in and out in two minutes, with small talk.

What’s voting? Is that where you elect someone that doesn’t listen to you?

Mike, for some ridiculous reason, thought he could make this thread and have it stay non political. We should steer clear of political content to see if it’s possible.

But Mike, really, why? Why oh why? You’re like one of those dog owners that makes his dog sit there with a treat on his nose without eating it.
