   Anyone willing to predict what this week's voter turnout will     
   be?   
      
   In 2022 is was the lowest ever, and it was summer!  This year     
   there are at least two things that might contribute to a low     
   turnout: [1] the post storm weather a week ago, and [2] this     
   being a truly unnecessary election.

   "Ontario records lowest voter turnout in election history   
   By Katherine DeClerq

   "While the Progressive Conservatives may have won a sweeping   
   victory Thursday night, a large majority of Ontarians decided   
   not to bother heading to the polls.   
      
   "The province recorded the lowest voter turnout in history   
   during the 2022 election, with just about 43.5 per cent of   
   eligible voters casting a ballot according to preliminary   
   Elections Ontario results.   
      
   "Of the just over 10.7 million registered voters in the   
   province, this equals just over 4.6 million votes cast.   
      
   My town had a scheduled townhall meeting of the candidates for     
   my riding a few days ago, and [1] very few people turned up,     
   and [2] two of the considered primary leaders (PC and Liberal)     
   were no shows! Perhaps the 4 Nations hockey series was a factor     
   since that was on the same night.  Dunno.
