I had a few things come up at the last minute, and had to choose whether voting was important. For the first time in my life, I decided it didn't matter, and I didn't vote. I'm in Calgary West, the result was a foregone conclusion, and my protest vote really had no place to go... none of the other candidates appealed to me.

I was thinking what might have got me to me vote, because I'm certainly not proud that a couple minor inconveniences kept me from voting. I'm thinking if the Senate were also elected, but seats were assigned based on the percentage of national support, that would really make my vote count.

I didn't vote, and I also conclude it actually didn't matter.
