Did you vote?

[wee-haggis]

I'm sorry but I have to weigh in here. This is from a female perspective so take it for what it is. Women for years were prohibited from voting. Certainly when my grandmother was born it wasn't allowed and that right was only gained first in Manitoba, followed by Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1916. It was finally passed for federal elections in 1920 for women who were 21 years of age. First Nations women did not get that right until 1960s! This right was hard earned where many women were imprisoned and suffered under horrible conditions. Indeed, in other nations women still don't have that right or exercise it at their or their families' peril. So, for our own citizens to never vote, or to never get around to vote just because they are angry or feel like they have no power to affect change should read up on their history. Especially the "Famous Five" including Nellie McLung, Judge Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. These women and others like them fought hard for our grandmothers and our own right to vote - please don't waste it.

O.K. my rant is over. Thanks for listening.

I have voted in every type of election since I have been eligible to vote.
Unfortunately, Tuesday I could not as my Mother had been taken of life support.
Does that mean I can't complain until the next election ?

Sorry to hear that. There are exceptions to every rule or in this case unwritten rule. I'm sure this would be one of them.

Hi Sam hope all is well with you!

We voted and I also worked all 3 advance poll days and election day. I figured since this election was costing us taxpayers a ton of money I might as well get a piece of the pie!

So sorry...You get a free pass. Again, sorry for your loss.

Good for you getting your piece.

I am off tomorrow to vote at the convention to pick a new Leader of the PC party of New Brunswick. This is how you get good candidates, you vote for them.
