If you have an election to vote in tomorrow, please vote.
But not just that. Please vote for who you want *on your council*.
The media has always treated local elections as a glorified opinion poll. But that's not right at all. In fact, it's not even useful as an opinion poll - low turnout, low stakes, low publicity and limited options make it pretty much useless in that regard. And for all that party leaders will look very serious on Friday's news, the parties all know that it really is just for effect.
And as for voting in order to make a statement, again, the limitations of local elections mean that no party is going to give a toss about a voter's protest. Voting with regard to any national party issue is a completely wasted vote, even if the newspapers refuse to acknowledge that (what else would they have to write about?)
But local democracy *is important*. It really matters. Schools, parks, roads, libraries, planning, bins, leisure centres, council tax levels, etc etc etc, it's all a really big deal in our actual everyday lives. Council votes actually do make a difference.
Obviously, I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. You can figure that out for yourself! But please, if you're able, do vote, and do vote for who you want on your council. It's so important and so widely ignored.
Today is a special #election in #Minnesota The national press has been fairly quiet about it 
Please #vote. All #votes count and you can make a difference
@benroyce@mastodon.socialAmericans are learning
Slowly
#JonOssoff is correct: they can't do anything
Too many Americans go "this is wrong, but #Democrats aren't doing anything, so I'm not voting"
Missing that:
1. they can't do anything without the majority
2. you're blaming the wrong people
3. if you #vote you get the ability to do something
Duh!
Show the fuck up to get the candidates you want
"I won't vote until perfect candidate magically appears" is utterly moronic
It never works that way!
Meet Kathleen. Kathleen is 98 this year, is blind and hearing impaired. She’s going to #vote this afternoon. Kathleen would like to remind you to #NeverVoteConservative #Canada #elbowsup
@bici@mastodon.socialI heard commenters today oh boy
About a loser who failed to make the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I voted at the Polls today oh boy
Forty million X's for Liberals, to inspire
And though the X's were rather small
They will count them all
Now they know how many X's it takes to elect the banker tall
I'd love to turn you on
IGNORE the polls.
IGNORE the claim of high turn out.
IGNORE any claim that someone has all but won, the voting is over.
VOTE. - You will be given every excuse to suggest your vote is not needed.
The same thing happened in America, and then the worse thing happen, Donald Trump won. Learn from America's mistake.

FAQs – Time off to vote, 2025
www.elections.caIf you want Mark Carney as our Prime Minister, don’t take anything for granted today. Trump won in part because too many people didn’t think he would. Think how you’ll feel if Poilievre wins a close election & you didnt #VOTE for Carney. This is no time to take chances. TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.
“TODAY! #Vote like your life depends on it — because it does
“The person who becomes prime minister will have to deal with one of the very worst people on Earth right now, as he attempts to destroy the global economy and annex Canada. We need a very strong leader for the next 4 years.” via CultMTL #cdnpoli #Elxn45

Check in and see if anybody needs help getting to the polls. 
This is disturbing. This is the current US President trying to tamper with the #CanadianElection on Election Day, by posting this on alt-right Truth Social.
It's full of lies & is a threat "to annex/invade - ZERO BENEFITS for Canadians, only oppression & more total lies. This is what foreign criminal interference / Influence Campaigns look like from authoritarian states." (quote from a media friend)
Dear Canada
It’s election day. Your day to save and preserve your Democracy. Please think hard about what’s best for your future generations.
Trump is backing the Conservatives; a sign that they will be a carbon copy of the Republican Party. The same Party that’s systematically destroying America. Please don’t make our mistake.
Keep those elbows up,
Hammy

@Crispius@infosec.exchangeToday’s the day, people. Let’s not fuck this up, #Canada!
@dcdeejay@mastodon.onlineOk, Canada: If you didn't vote early, today is your lucky day! Vote like our future depends on it, because it does.
Seriously.
Find your polling place at elections.ca
If you don't have government issued photo ID, or if you've moved & your address doesn't match, you can still vote today. Bring whatever ID you have & bills to prove you live in the riding where you're voting.
Your employer is required to give you the necessary time off.
Get out there and save our democracy!
@skatem@mstdn.socialToday is Election Day in Canada. These folks on Ellesmere Island voted early via flown-in ballot because the ice road had melted (global warming anyone?). They are at a weather research station not far from the Arctic Circle.
