So did I, but I guess at this point we should know better.
While not a full-scale overhaul of the federal voting system as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once promised, within the two-party confidence-and-supply agreement are a series of electoral reform proposals aimed at expanding “the ability for people to vote.”
Specifically, the Liberals and New Democrats agreed to explore:
- Allowing an “expanded” three-day voting period during general elections;
- Allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling place within their riding; and
- Improving the mail-in ballot process with both accessibility and maintaining integrity in mind.
…
Expanding the amount of days Canadians have to cast their ballot may be the most significant proposal currently under negotiation.
Overall not super interesting. These are good proposals of course, but not exactly the kind of electoral reform that I think most of us are looking for. Maybe that will change but I’m not feeling particularly hopeful.
Why is Quebec excluded from this list?
I mean one of these is within Canada. I think a PM speaking against violence within Canadian borders isn’t the same as him commenting on him violence internationally.
I feel like the title should really indicate that it is Canadians’ perception on Canada’s international reputation a bit better. Interesting to poll Canadians on how non Canadians perceive Canada and title it this way.
Go Canada, but I think this might show how much more of a depressing state the rest of the world is in
Well it’ll still take then time to lock down the loopholes so Apple will get to milk the cow a bit longer.
