[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 203642, member: 3907"] So...our Federal election was on Tuesday. To keep from getting political, I won't mention who I was rooting for, who I voted for or who won. However, one thing that upsets me greatly about the whole process...All of the papers are indicating that this election had the [B]lowest voter turnout for [SIZE="5"]any federal election [/SIZE][SIZE="7"]in Canadian history![/SIZE][/B] :angrydude: [COLOR="Red"][SIZE="7"]59.1% !!!![/SIZE][/COLOR]Can you believe it!!?? :stopglass: Honestly! We have had a minority government of one stripe or another for the last 4 years (in other words, the party in power is outnumbered by the total of the opposition and the other parties in government), so the government hasn't been able to get a lot accomplished for a very long time. People have been complaining loudly about it for the whole 4 years. But when they're given the opportunity to do something about it, they sit home and ignore the whole process. I certainly hope I don't hear people complaining about the election results. They have no right to, given that they didn't participate in shaping them. Rots my socks, this does! For all of you in the U.S., I urge you to get out and vote when your turn comes in November. It's important! Grrrrrr! Trinity [/QUOTE]
