The Gift That Keeps on Giving

[Gurpster]

God help you if you ever once in your life get in the NDP database...
every election I get calls and emails asking if I can volunteer or take
a sign. The text messages and phone calls come pretty thick too. I
haven't the heart to tell them to leave me alone so I'm partially to
blame. Call block works much of the time.

Many years ago, I worked as a canvasser on an election and haven't since
but the calls come fast and furious whenever there's an election.
However, they now text and call on my cell # and i NEVER gave that to
them so not sure where they're getting their info

A friend and I had decided we would go to Bayers Road this a.m. and do
an advance vote and have done with it. Never mind potential postal
strike messing them up, we couldn't vote as the computer had gone belly
up :)

A buddy of mine gave them $200 in the Jack Layton days.
He still gets emails and calls from them 12 years later. He
can’t get rid of them. I suspect all parties are the same. I
never gave a cent to any of them.

Was thinking of going Monday or Tuesday. I thought the electronic voting
was an option and they were supposed to have paper ballots as well?

No, I guess if the computer goes down, everything is off! However we
went down about 3:30 and all was well. In fact, we were the only two
there at that point and we had a lot of fun laughing about computers
etc. I did remark to the guy doing my vote that they may have saved
postage but this method was deadly for trees, masses of paperwork. Gave
him my licence (had to have some visual identity that showed address as
well as they are taking votes for all areas) Then you fill in a sheet
verifying the details are true etc. Then they give you the ballot, not
seen one like that before where you actually fill in the candidates name
and party, then you return to your instructor and he puts it in a
special envelope with a special sticky seal and then you actually put it
in the ballot box!!

All in all, we found it a good way to get the job done.

Sounds quite complicated. I will wait for election day.

Was just thinking the same thing although that presents its own
challenges. Have to take Kevin with me when I go to vote and the polling
place the last time was somewhat less than accessible. Had to use a
different door (up a hill) and the poll workers seemed to forget there
was a second line to get in so we waited with others for about 20
mniutes before they caught on and let us in.

Bayers Road could not be better for that - think it was where Zellers
used to be, on the far right in the green building section as you look
at it, 7071 Bayers, all clearly marked and close to the main door.

That's good to know. Might head over there tomorrow and see if I can
cast my vote.
