I’ve just returned from casting my ballot at the advanced polls. The advanced polls for me works well. I know who I am voting for and can take care of it now on the weekend when I have some more free time.

It’s a mild winters day, and a good chance to get a little exercise. I walked over to cast my vote only to discover that I had looked at the wrong location on my card. Oops. Oh well… I looked at the card again and saw that the advanced poll was at a different school a little further away. No worries – I had time and this was an opportunity to enjoy a decent mid winter walk.

So – for all you Canadians out there who are constantly whining and bitching about the state of our country, here is your chance. Do a little research on who is running in your riding and go cast your ballot.

Think globally – act locally. Your vote is an opportunity to put in your two cents. Get out there and let your voice be heard.
