   Hi All,    
       ...Greets from my Telegram app!   
      
      
   [Originally posted in CANACHAT echo]   
      
   So.. whatcha y'all thinking about the advance call for another federal   
   election?   
      
   I voted in the advance polls yesterday.  I noticed a couple of things quite   
   different.    
      
   [1] the ballot actually mentioned the party for each candidate.  I always   
   wondered why they never had that in the past. As a result, I think I ended up   
   voting for the wrong candidate the very first time I was old enough to vote.   
      
   [2] covid theatre was in full force.  Free masks were available. Hand   
   sanitation was required.  They even required that I "sign" (including my   
   telephone number)   
   a registry. I actually had to pause as I realized that I forgot my own phone   
   number for a moment.  :D  The problem with the registry is that it failed to   
   provide a record WHEN my visit occurred. I mean.. there was no date or TIME   
   column. But the venue was empty. Gee.. I hope that I don't get a call to tell   
   me that my health may have been compromised. LOL   The "workers" were all at   
   their stations, and I was the only active voter in the facility during my 3   
   minute visit.   
      
   Ciao!
