Locking out the Senators

I'm not a fan of the Senate but I'm even less of a fan of an elected Senate. So I'm glad to see that Martin won't cave and dignify the senate "election" which will accompany the provincial vote on Monday. Millions of dollars are being wasted on this vote and I fully intend to spoil my ballot with a few clever write-in candidates.

So I'm asking for feedback. Who should Bart vote for? Pierre Trudeau? Nikita Khrushchev? Don Cherry? Post your best choices in the comments slot or e-mail them to me.

  • Has it been too long since you voted? There's no space for writing stuff in - it's all black space with white circles beside the candidates' names. There might be a lot of spoiled senate ballots, but why reduce your protest to having your ballot measured equally with people who find the operation of a pencil too complicated?

    Refuse your ballot. Take your senate ballot, tell the poll clerk you don't want it, they may be confused and have to speak to the DRO, but ultimately, your blank ballot is dropped into a box of refused ballots, and are counted as such at the end of the day and on the official record of the election. Enough refused ballots, and this should be the last Senate election until there's acually a reformed Senate.

    If you'd like to know more about the ballot refusal process (though there really isn't more) call Elections Alberta at 1-877 422-8683.

    You know, this would make a good blog post!

  • You're right Don - I forgot about the blacked out ballots. I think I will refuse my ballot then; I didn't even know that was an option.

    Jung Sucks: Thanks for posting those numbers. The Herald poll numbers really had me worried this morning but the Ipsos ones are right where I expected them to be.

  • These ugg boots are not water proof. ugg will never be repaired to be the same as before. We all know these uggs are comfortable to wear as designers adopt light rubber outsole. Then those UGG Australia will get damaged or torn if you wear them for sports. So do not wear these ugg nightfall for strenuous sports. ugg nightfall boots is known as perfect footwear that can be worn throughout the year.
