Just placed my Vote. 🙂 What I did notice today and yesterday is the large number of Islanders in the advance polls this time. It's busier than I've ever experienced before. Which means many people have already made up their minds. #cdnpoli - ThreadSky

Ditto at my polling station. Unusually long lines involving more than an hour wait.

Methinks the current events have galvanized Canadians, and the Trump/Poilievre axis is about to be handed its arse on a plate.

jmawhineypriest.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope you are correct.

sidneyroughdiamond.bsky.social•7 days ago

Is he still about

ryansraz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Use in my area as well. IMHO in almost all elections, most people make up their minds early on, with many just not motivated to vote for Pepsi or Coke. Rather, I hope the large turnout is a result of Candians being interested, and the numbers will carry through to election day.

I see young men lacking in their knowledge leaning to the Con vote. Very troubling to me. They seem to lack reasoning as to why too. No ability to explain issues or understand. Angry and speak in slogans only. Misinformation seems to keep them shut down and unable to engage. Makes me sad.

tsansom.bsky.social•7 days ago

And usually, it's liberals and left leaning people voting early - so setting up nicely to eliminate rage farmer, PP.

Thank you

Rooting for my next door neighbors!! 😊

cathve.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same in Delta. I haven't seen this before.

aegeanlyfe.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think Canadians decided many weeks ago who they were voting for - Canada, sovereignty, security and Mark Carney.

justme113.bsky.social•7 days ago

I truly hope so.
Otherwise, we’re in big trouble.

eccleshicks.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope so. Polls are tightening. #CanadaStrong

melanielb.bsky.social•7 days ago

We just voted. Lots of grumblings in our riding while we were there about “keeping Carney out” so please go cast your vote.

jangofett.bsky.social•7 days ago

That's sad (and worrying) to hear 😔

melanielb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hopefully our riding is not the norm. https://Votewell.ca predicts a Liberal majority in our area, so hopefully not too worrying. Still, I hope we don’t succumb to complacency.

jangofett.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope so, the Cons need as few seats as possible 🤞

alyca00.bsky.social•7 days ago

I noticed the same thing in Ottawa.... I waited way longer than the last time I voted on election day.

alexandros2112.bsky.social•7 days ago

Very positive news 👍

jemburch.bsky.social•7 days ago

Advance polls in our riding (suburbs of Vancouver) were as busy as I've ever seen them. We waited and hour and I was pleased to do it. The crowd seemed happy and friendly - lots of kids and dogs to watch to help pass the time.

2speedla.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hope this is a strong Elbows Up turnout! Bad enough I have to deal with wack a doo Danielle when back….🤞🏼

lesc534.bsky.social•7 days ago

I guess its the pessimist in me that thinks it might be the cons trying to get as much as they can (HOPING most of Canada sees how awful that would be!!!)

greedequalspain.bsky.social•6 days ago

Same here in southern New Brunswick
It’s busy

tryingtohelp.bsky.social•7 days ago

Advance polls are quite busy !

silver996.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think this is the most important election since WW2. I haven’t met anyone that doesn’t know whom they are voting for at this stage.

fruvous73.bsky.social•7 days ago

People are very eager to vote against PP. :)

petrofor3.bsky.social•7 days ago

You are doing great work!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Let’s go folks… let’s get a Liberal win.

coachingcanuck13.bsky.social•7 days ago

Liberal Landslide!
Modi-backed pp shouldn't be anywhere NEAR any semblance of authority and a message needs to be sent.

silver996.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well we’ll see a couple of Brampton ridings go Tory just because of the Modi supporters spreading bullshit in Indo-Canadian media but the rest of the GTA will kick PP’s ass.

coachingcanuck13.bsky.social•7 days ago

I live in bertabama... I get it. They gobble up the misinformation sadly.

grace9367.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ontario, too. We’ll see…. 🤷

Yeah, my son and I went Friday afternoon and it was about 40 minutes.

concernedcanadian.bsky.social•7 days ago

I voted yesterday. 🇨🇦💪🏻🚫 MAPLE MAGA!

crucialwax.com•7 days ago

A motivated electorate is a very good sign.

nish57.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am so happy advanced pools are busy. 💪🇨🇦

wasiliewski.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m in a rural southern Ontario riding and same thing here. Very large turnout. I’ve never waited in that long of a long line to vote before.

grace9367.bsky.social•7 days ago

What’s your opinion on the outcome? All of rural Ontario voted Con in the provincial. Do you think it’s going to go differently for the federal?

krwv.bsky.social•7 days ago

Generally Ontario votes federally for the opposite of what party is in power provincially. Hoping PP gets the boot!

grace9367.bsky.social•7 days ago

For Canada’s sake, I hope so.

krwv.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same!

wasiliewski.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m in a riding that’s been Blue since the 80’s. I’m seeing as many Liberal signs out there as Conservative ones. Folks here want better representation. I feel like we are going to flip. I’m hearing lots of Liberal support in neighbouring ridings as well.

grace9367.bsky.social•7 days ago

That’s what surprised me. One of the biggest issues I heard for rural voters was healthcare and with DoFo dismantling it I would have thought they would have voted for anyone but him. But there were a lot of F JT flags, I guess the propaganda worked.

joyfulnesstoo.bsky.social•7 days ago

People fell for Ford’s marketing of how he would solve the Trump problem all by himself, yet he didn’t turn off the power and came back from DC with his tail between his legs. I am hoping people realize slogans and name calling won’t make life more affordable and #VOTE against PP

doingitdizzy.bsky.social•7 days ago

I would love to see turnout hit 80% 🤩🤩

karmaseesu.bsky.social•7 days ago

I did mine today too. There was a steady stream going in to vote and out from the parking lot. 🙂 I think having over the long weekend sure makes it easy for people to go!

bloomingwriter.bsky.social•7 days ago

It was quiet when I went it because I went at mealtime several days ago, but the lovely folks at the returning office told me it had been very busy, in waves. I'm told advance polls are busy too. Which I hope is a good sign. Now is not the time for complacency.

itsunderstood.bsky.social•7 days ago

I voted in the early poll at the S'side election office. It was super busy even then.
Islanders care

heatherdb.bsky.social•7 days ago

I myself have never voted in an advanced poll! I’m so excited to get out and do it!! #CarneyForPM
