He was voting PC. Green and NDP will win more seats than ever before. Conservative vote split, PC's win a minority government. Libs punt Trudeau and elect a new leader. The Media will crap all over Scheer like they have done for Trump and in 2 years we do it all again with a non-confidence vote from the coalition of Green/NDP/Lib |

Here's hoping for a similar collapse tonight. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77957115 Canada 10/21/2019 05:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: KeepingItReal I'm leaving to vote soon. I am going to take my expired driver's license and voter card and see if I'm allowed to vote. I will take the new one and passport just in case. I'll report back. You'll be fine with the passport. I'm off in a few minutes too. Your passport has no proof of address, so you should bring your voter's notice or driver's license as well. The link provided says that only 1 piece of ID is required - your drivers license. If you have that you can vote. Funny - illegals, immigrants and non-citizens can have a drivers license, so having this does not prove you are a citizen, but according to the Government link, that's all you need. I had to show my voting card and my ID. They then took a ruler and put a line through my name on the list that they had (something they've done every single time I've voted). It was dead where I went, and I do not live in the boonies. It was before 5 though, so maybe it'll get busy later. |
KeepingItReal User ID: 30776013 Canada 10/21/2019 05:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Unless Trudeau wins a majority, which I don't think is possible, I don't see how they will keep him as leader. Even in a minority situation, the Liberals will always be one lost vote away from another election, and the only way to prevent that is for the NDP to completely bend the knee to the Liberals, which will end up pissing off their own base. I don't think the liberals will want to risk another election with Justin as leader. There are just too many skeletons in his closet. They managed to keep the worst of them locked up this time, but I don't think they will stay hidden if we end up back at the polls in a year or two. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |

KeepingItReal User ID: 30776013 Canada 10/21/2019 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate to break it to you, but if you voted in the advance polls, your vote is very vulnerable to tampering or being lost and replaced. At least in theory, if you vote on election day, the box you put your ballot in is always in sight of the scrutineers, but if you vote early, this isn't true. Even worse if you do the mail in ballot. There is no way to be sure that the ballot counted is the same as the one you cast. All it takes is an eraser to modify a vote, which is why you need to press really hard so it isn't easy to change the vote without invalidating the ballot. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |

Anyone can vote here as long as they have a voter card and a drivers license. You don't have to be a citizen to get a voter card in the mail and a drivers license doesn't prove you are a citizen. So yes, non citizens vote, I discovered this in 2004, reported it and nothing changed since then. I would even say I was bullied for calling it out. I would argue it's gotten worse since 2004.
