Vote like your life depends on it because it does.

Agreed!!! Voting is ALWAYS better than staying silent and “hoping for the best”, then afterward complaining that what we wanted isn’t what the majority and our Parliamentary system decided.

If “my” candidate isn’t elected, then I have made a vow to myself to actively engage with whoever represents me to at least be aware of, and hopefully address those issues I feel are important to Canada’s (better) future.

Imagine if you will living through the endless American election cycle?

On CKUA there was a disc jockey Baba Singh. Every show began with “it’s a sweet good morning”.

Like you I’ve had enough of the negativity. We’re all better off when we build cooperatively together.

While there’s a snowballs chance that the Liberal candidate in my riding will ever get elected I’m grateful to have one actually run.

Mr Carney take the wheel!

Rolling Stone Magazine just published this. It’s unfortunate Canadian media didn’t think it was newsworthy.

Agree Arlene: Your vote will define us but also defines you and in a democracy allows you to effect change. I hope you all have heard through the noise/rhetoric and have the facts to inform your particular position.
