The end of the turd

[burnt]

Great minds, Bob, I hope...

Our latest municipal election, a couple of years ago, was done electronically.

Only the clerk and the candidates could see the polling results in real time, I am told.

The candidate who was trying to unseat the mayor worked very hard in a door to door campaign and public meetings. Election day, she saw her vote count very close, nearly tied - until the final hour or two before the polls closed.

Suddenly the incumbent's vote count shot upward and he won comfortably.

Likely just natural...

It occurred to me yesterday that mail in ballots may not be all bad. As the end of the campaign approaches the Libs will no doubt trot out the spectre of vote splitting leading to the evil genius Steven Harper's goons gaining power. If the low information lefties have already cast a ballot for whatever local loon they favour that might actually work out well. There's always mail-in fraud to consider but that's a whole other matter. Perhaps its just wishful thinking but it gets me through the day.

ajl, I share your hopes.

However, we all witnessed what can be accomplished thru the use of mail-in ballots.

Don't kid yourself for even 1 second - Trudeau's already got this one in the bag. His managers are quite adept.

It may well prove that the millions he's spending on campaigning are to merely give it a show of legitimacy.

Prediction is my own but I have seen polling showing lib support going ndp. Vote splitting on the left could be a problem for the four leftist parties. Canuckistan is done, and this fall could blow that wide open. People will soon have to survive on their own resources which for many will result in starvation in the coming months and years.

Well there are some hopeful signs in canuckistan. Prediction of a Tool minority government on Sept 21.

I havent seen that prediction yet, where did you see it?.

I know that support for Trudeau is nowhere near what the polls have been telling us for a yr. He has faced campaign stop protests right in friendly Ontario this past few days. The civil service is fighting his vax mandate now. I see he is trying to drum up Harper and racism now.

Why would he risk an election at this time? Because there is something hiding in those govt docs regarding WE and Winnipeg lab.

Well there are some hopeful signs in canuckistan. Prediction of a Tool minority government on Sept 21 which will result in chaos in ottawa but that is far better than a turd dictatorship. NS tossed the libs after polls showed they would win but more interesting is the election of an independent mla that was tossed from the PC's for being part of an anti lockdown protest. Elections in NS are as irrelevant as elections anywhere these days, but this is a sign of some brain function in the east. The election of a Tool minority doesn't change the need for Alberta independence though but a weak chaotic government in ottawa would help it along. Almost everybody in Alberta not getting a paycheck from the federal government has figured out that sinking on the ship canuckistan is not their best interests now.
