I think your election will be subject to interference. It's easy to work out who might be doing that. But take precautions. 🇨🇦 😎

I'm voting in my first Federal election as a new Canadian citizen, Katharine. Thanks for sharing!

I had one instance out of 30 where I agreed with the PPC and even that felt like too many. In the end, I'm kind of exactly where I thought I'd be, but it's nice to know why. Thanks!

I understand expats, due to the bastard Harper, only get 5 years to vote.

I might have misunderstood what you meant, but there is no time limit on when Canadians who live abroad can vote. https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=reg/etr&document=index&lang=e#etr3

That is not accurate according to my CDN friend in Monterrey. He said Harper put in a five year sunset clause for expats.
If we are wrong, please point me to the truth.

Hello, I did that -- I linked to the Elections Canada website and screenshotteed what it says. 🍁 Here is the link again: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=reg/etr&document=index&lang=e#etr3:~:text=Is%20it%20true%20that%20electors%20can%20only%20be%20on%20the%20International%20Register%20of%20Electors%20if%20they%20have%20been%20away%20from%20Canada%20for%20less%20than%20five%20years%3F

That being said, your completed application and supporting documents must be received by Elections Canada in Ottawa by 6 pm ET on the Tuesday before election day.

In this case, that means before April 22
