The Ontario Election
Do You Need More Cash?
Entry Date: October 12, 2007
We had an election in the Province of Ontario. From the day I was allowed to vote in Canada, I have exercised that right. This time around we went to the advance poll. We have recently moved and we needed to make those changes at the polling station. A very simple procedure, but it took forever. The clerk checked and double checked all information, and I still had to tell her she forgot part of our new address. Which just goes to show you that in politics it is not what you know, but whom you know. Not only did we vote for our preferred political candidate, we also had a referendum about if people want to make changes to the voting process. Right now we vote for a regional candidate, the one with the most votes gets the job. If the new process would be approved, we also vote for a political party, and a certain amount of politicians will become part of the government based on the percentage of votes their party gets. It would be a more fair representation of the popular vote. It would also bring more parties into parliament, increasing the chance of minority governments. Altogether it was a boring campaign, there was nothing to get exited about. We elected a majority government, and the majority of the voters do not want to make changes to the electoral process. Next we will vote for the Federal Government and hopefully there will be more excitement. Maybe I should apply for a job at the polls, I know am much quicker and more precise than the person who processed my information!
