Voted against PP today. Quite a turn out, it must have taken 45 minutes which is the longest wait I have ever had. Mostly seniors and middle age folk, no youth vote insight , maybe two 25ish year olds

Does the CPC even get 100 seats? They would lose every province outside of Alberta and Sask. I expect internal calls for PPs resignation to be put into mainstream before the polls close in Atlantic Canada.

One leader resigning is insufficient when the whole party is complicit in promoting misinformation, propoganda, and far right ideology.

They need to break down into a PC party and a Nazi party

Just voted! My line wasn’t too long, so it was quick and easy. Proudly voted for the Liberals.

[Paulie Walnuts]

The chestermere red center is packed and I read it’s a bit of a wait. I know the Bexete monkey will win but will still go out and vote.

I have seen zero liberal signs up anywhere. Just David and the NDP candidate has 1 sign. Zero effort.

Same thing at my polling place in North Van. I spotted maybe three people under 40.

Yeah, I particularly like how he draws attention to the struggles of young men; increasing rates of suicide, underperformance in education, isolation, difficulty to find mates.

He talks about a lot of the frustrations that are leading men to right wing populist grifters.
If more men listened to people like him instead of Rogan/Peterson/Tate, we'd be a lot better off in society.
I think reasonable voices getting the attention of that demographic is one of the great challenges of our modern day.

Just voted as well, about a 25 minute wait.

Hoping the Conservatives can gain some momentum this week.

But with the NDP poised to be wiped out a LIB majority looks to be in the cards. Which I’ve always said is better than a LIB minority.

I am very curious to see if the youth vote turns. Some rando's are claiming it will be like 2015, but in PP's favour?

Isn't that what the People's Party is for?

Where was your polling place?


Karen Magnussen was a massive line up with a pretty big mix of ages that I saw.

Partner and I voted here in Winnipeg today. Steady at our polling station but lots of people on our subreddit saying some long waits across the city.

Saw one asshat in line who took his jacket off to reveal a t-shirt of Justin Trudeau done up in Joaquim Phoenix-style 'Joker' make-up with the word 'Wacko' underneath. A real champion.

[Drak]

My son and I will be early voting next week. It’ll be his first time voting.

[Fuzz]

Diefenbaker was a pretty short line, probably in and out in 10 minutes. Didn't get any sort of "I voted" sticker, so rewarded ourselves with McDonalds(conveniently next door!) instead. This way I can have regrets now, and later.

Wondering about all the losers with the #### Trudeau decals on their ####ty ford trucks.

Saw one the other day.

He gone.

Mine was at Sutherland Secondary, east of Lonsdale. The line seemed long when I first looked at it, but it was quick. I was in and out in about 25 minutes.

####, people are still pulling the ". . . but Harper".

Had a roughly 45 minute wait in Skyview. Didn't help that the polls seemed somewhat understaffed. There's usually 2 poll volunteers at each table, this morning they just had one.



Line was constant behind me, and growing out the door when I left.

I voted in Winnipeg today. Saw someone driving by with an ‘###### Trudeau’ flag and their driver window covered in a garbage bag haha. Depending on the line it was about 30-45 min wait. Also a decent range of voters, seemed evenly split among under 25, 25-45, and older.

Can’t believe we have idiots voting for blinky

And his examples aren't even subject to the law. The only bags that are banned by the law are checkout bags. Bags used in packaging aren't impacted at all.
