Damn, they're fast

I got my absentee ballot from Elections Canada today... that's pretty speedy service.

Hmm. Didn't I just do this a year and a half ago... ?

Think of it as our way of expanding on the whole monotony of Red State / Blue State.

Why... you can have Red, Blue, Orange, Green or Blue with separatist tendancies! (Note: Offer for Blue with Separatist tendancies is only valid in Quebec and only if they acheive 51% of the popular vote in Quebec).

Not to mention why wait 4 LONG years when hell - you can have the whole thing repeat itself every 12-18 months!

It's obviously a way to lure wayward Canuckians back to the land of igloos and polar bear sled commutes. :P

And trust me - nothing is more festive then a sea of election signs to augment all the pretty Xmas lights. :)

meh.

I'm waiting for the local candidates to come carolling for votes!

You know... if it gets the candidates out, or better yet the party leaders out, where they have to sing carols, it could be worth it, in a perverse sort of way.

Or, torture, depending on their signing. (see today's LotD)

Something tells me you're not terribly thrilled with the early election... -g-

Humourously, last election I sent in my absentee ballot, then actually ended up back home during election night... :P

When did you send in the form? I sent mine in just before leaving the country, the same week the government disolved, and I've not seen mine yet.

I'd sent it for the last election, and sent in an update form about 1 month before the parliament dissolved, so I think I was already in the system. You should hopefully be getting it soon... might be worth a call to them if you don't see it by the end of this week.
