Vote Now - don't wait

One of my political concerns has been to motivate people who do not vote, to do so.  Do it for our country which has given us so much, and do it to honour those who have given their lives so that we could vote.

Canadians need to protect our country by voting, by doing it in an informed way.  If it’s a matter of convenience or opportunity, decide which local candidate will get your support, and carefully note their name on a piece of paper.

YOU CAN VOTE NOW at your convenience.  Don’t put it off until the last minute.

Do it now and get it out of the way and avoid lineups etc.  Every riding has an Elections Canada Office which is now open for voting.  Just show up with proper photo ID that has your current address on it.

If you did not vote last time, make arrangements now, and get going. 

There should be no barrier to do your duty.  Vote now at the Elections Canada Office, or at the Advance Polls when they are set up, or on Election Day October 21st.
