A municipal election hits very close to home: parks, transit, taxes, roads, garbage pickup, recycling, etc. It's not that long ago that women could not vote, weren't even considered PERSONS.
We have had a nice article in our local newspaper, briefly covering their platforms. Despite this, when we went to the office to vote, a man spoke loudly to the elections clerk and declared, "I don't know who to vote for, there's been nothing in the paper!" I beg to differ!!!!!October 18, 1929, was a turning point in Canada. This was the day a constitutional case ensured that women were included in the word "person" – thanks to five determined activists who brought #ThePersonsCase to the highest court of appeal. #PersonsDay #MakeAnImpact pic.twitter.com/9onBrNpGlp— Canada (@Canada) October 18, 2018
Yes, another election. The signage is everywhere. There has to be a better way. I'm not voting for someone whose platform is unarticulated, like our Premier, Doug Ford. Neither am I voting for someone by signage!
Here is what we've seen across the region.
