I hate strategic voting and I'm holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn't such a mess. But I don't want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.

I had a very weird experience.

Walked over with my dogs, my wife goes first while i wait outside and it takes 2 hours, had all kinds of extra verification steps and stuff. I go in, same length line, a volunteer looks at my voter card and has me skip the queue for some reason and I'm in and out in 5 minutes and they barely check anything but crossing my name off.

Maybe they let you skip the line because they felt bad for taking 2hrs with your wife haha

I talked with some friends in the same neighborhood, best as we could tell the person handling A-M names (e.g my wife) was really slow and the person for M-Z (e.g me) was quite quick.
