Canada could easily go down a similar road as Australia. They seem to have new elections in Australia every 2 years or so? Or at least up until a couple of years or so it was that way.

Spending 600 Million, to achieve absolutely nothing? And then there are issues with affordable childcare, elderly care homes, affordable housing, etc..... How much of this could one actually deliver with 600 Million. The election was taxpayer's money wasted. |

At least it is better than the US. Elections every 4 years in November. President does not take office until end of January. The following year campaigning begins. The costs involved are obscene.
Bit like them holding on to the imperial system, when no one else in the world uses it anymore! :rolleyes: |

Well technically the US has federal elections every 2 years, House Of Representatives only have 2 year terms. ;)

Re: Election 2021
Last week I foolishly signed up to help count the votes in Kamloops, I thought it would be one of those rare things to do in your life, same as Jury service.
How wrong was I, what an antiquated manual system we have here in Canada. I wont bore you with the details, but coming from someone who works in IT and loves to automate repetitive tasks, why on earth have we not gone digital with voting yet? I get the security about voting from home, but why on earth can't we drive to the polling station, and digitally enter our vote there? The counting of the votes would then take seconds, instead of hours and hours.... |

CBC actually ran article that a couple weeks ago, boils down to Elections Canada takes a cautious and incremental approach to technology, paper is reliable, and apparently industry has not created an electronic system that meets whatever criteria Elections Canada requires. |

Unfortunate for the one Liberal MP who made that comment about Taliban, appears she lost and will be about 3 weeks shy of 6 years needed to get the pension.

Unfortunately at the time the US was founded there was great distrust with the UK, so the founders make it incredibly difficult for change, sometimes I think the founders make it a little too difficult to change things.

If the CBSA has the technology for those Automated Border Clearance Self-Serve Kiosks at major airports, I'm sure elections Canada can do the same thing for voting. It's craziness counting every single vote by hand. We made plenty of mistakes last night as time went on and we got tired :unsure:
