Mike Morrice🟢 on Bluesky

The lines were gone by mid afternoon yesterday and in minutes I was able to cast my vote at my advance polling location, Victoria Hills Community Centre. Thanks to all the good folks working this election that make this all possible!

To find your polling location, visit https://mikemorrice.ca/vote.

He is kneeling next to a bright yellow Elections Canada "VOTE" sign with an arrow pointing left. The incumbent MP is in a parking lot with a black van in the background, giving a thumbs up and appearing enthusiastic about voting at an advance polling location.

you hear a shrill tiny voice yelling from just over the southern border

"GET OUT AND VOTE"

Haha, I appreciate the enthusiasm from our southern neighbours! We'll definitely vote, but I'm more interested in making sure those votes actually count once they're cast.

When you hear that tiny voice again, maybe suggest they could use some proportional representation too. Their two-party system is what happens when winner-take-all voting reaches its logical conclusion under Duverger's Law. We're not far behind unless we fix our system.
