Election Information

I recommend that you check the links yourself! I've copied some of the information below:

Ways to vote

See this page for full details.

Vote on election day (April 28)

Vote by mail

Special Ballots

Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can't change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

See this page for deadlines for when you can apply for one, and when they must receive it by. It also has information on what you must do differently when filling out this ballot: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=vote&dir=spe&document=index&lang=e

If you are having any issues, reach out to your local Elections Canada office to know your options.

Why the assumption that BQ can't be worked with?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Because every election people from outside Quebec talk about the BQ as if it was a right wing party that would rather work with the cons when all it does is vote based on Quebec's interests. The BQ will keep the Liberals in power as long as the Liberals play ball and don't try to centralize things that aren't under federal jurisdiction.

That last bit might be what leads to the misunderstanding, the cons tend to respect the division of powers more than the Liberals, but I'm pretty sure that PP would have been different on that front anyway.

BQ as if it was a right wing party

Um... what?? BQ and NDP are our only viable left wing parties! If anything the BQ have historically pushed the nation's politics leftward when they have leverage to do so. This is not the first time we have counted on them to look out for us all, and they have taken on that role graciously in the past.

I could be missing a variable in this equation but it feels kind of anti-Quebec (phrased as such not to use a more serious and loaded term) that people are overlooking the BQ as the balance of power.

And yet, every election where it's a minority you see people mention that the BQ will certainly form an alliance with the cons... Which makes no sense whatsoever.
