It is get out and vote day. Best of luck to all the candidates.
Wonder why we always say that? Do we really mean it? I know I don't.
Nothing personal towards any individual, but if you have passion and beliefs on the best way forward for humanity then how can you wish the best to a party that apposes those beliefs.
Any way there will be some folks who will not get to vote. Over at the Voisey's Bay mine/mill there about 200 odd workers each 2 week shift.
Many of them on this shift will not have the chance to vote. Those that did not take advantage of the special ballot venues, the advance polls [1 day at only two communities in Nunatsiavut] and who surmised [incorrectly] that there would be a polling station at the work site.
I am told that this is the first election that no voting station was made available at the mine site.

Good point about the mine Brian. Considering all the money that is being spent on this election, it wouldn't have taken very much to put a DRO and poll clerk into the minesite for the day. If the guys at the mine had had adequate knowledge of no polling station, they could have voted at the advance polls. Be very interesting to see how the numbers change at the end of the day. ;-)
I thought all employees had right to vote and employer is meant to provide that opportunity....guess rules change when "remote"....
