Canadians are voting today in an election that will determine which party will lead its government: the Liberal Party, which is currently in power under Prime Minister Mark Carney, or the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, who hope to return to power after nearly a decade in the opposition.
Here’s what to expect as voting takes place and after the results are known.

A. Very carefully.
Still, a private Youtuber followed Ontario voting officials bringing ballot boxes from voting offices home for the weekend.
Canada....home of Dominion voting machines, which of course, THEY don’t use. Coincidence they are offshore and harder to do anything silly, like raid their HQ.
Yep... but try to do that when an election official takes home a thumb drive, or is sitting in an office somewhere accessing the machines online. Or try to catch a programmer setting up the machines to allocate a percentage of a vote to the other side.
Fraud is easier to catch with paper.
Much easier.
Canada’s (and the U.K.’s) voting is simple compared to U.S. and most other jurisdictions.
Up there, most elections are one-office elections. In this case, for members of the Canada-wide parliament.
Down here, most elections are for several offices. For example, President, Senator, Congressman (federal offices), possibly also Governor and other row offices (statewide offices), members of the state legislature (upper and lower houses), various local offices, and various ballot initiatives.
Also down here, some jurisdictions accept mail ballots until a week or more after the close of (in-person) voting, with many of these mail ballots suffering defects.
Up there, it’s possible for the counting to be done immediately upon the end of voting, and this counting is usually done in the presence of the candidates. At the end of counting, an election official raises the hand of the winner like a referee in a boxing match. Usually, the losers congratulate the winner, and everybody moves on.
Down here, some jurisdictions take a long time to count the ballots, and many elections are challenged. Many losers feel they were cheated. The election of 2020 was particularly horrible.
Having said these things, in the U.K., last election, a party got almost a two-thirds majority in terms of seats with only 34 percent of the vote. Something’s not right about that.
...and they still elect liberals...................
Yes, but can they report results within two months?
listen to uk parliament “questions for the prime minister” on sunday evenings on cspan radio
labour and tories argue over who can manage the out of control welfare state better
its actually a fun listen
they get pretty rowdy
Do Canadians also have back-room Democrats creating fake ballots and stuffing ballot boxes with them?
Greatly reduced chances of corrupt elections and they *STILL* vote for crappy socialists?
Canada does *NOT* need to be part of the USA. Absolutely not!
Oh, that is just so primitive. Do like CaCaLand does, take illegal aliens’ addresses from driver’s licenses (mostly vacant lots) and mail the mailin ballots there for pickup by felons and other DNC officials.
Mind, some brain dead CaCaLand citizens insist that mailing ballots have been around for decades. Yeah, those are called absentee ballots and are vetted. Mailins are just mailed to every bloody address the USPS gives them. I’ve gotten two in one election cycle — that is how corrupt the system is designed to be.
In the US, we use the Canadian Dominion Voting Machines.
Ballots should be scanned, counted and posted online by machine.

To preserve voter secrecy:
1. a buffer of 20 ballots should be kept in the machine until a button is pressed at the end of the voting day
2. ballots would not come out in First In, First Out order, but would be selected for output in a random order.

The voting and counting machines would each have a write-only optical output port.
This port would be monitored by a device connected to the internet.
It would be by county in Florida and just the first address type. The second was a typo.
“that is how corrupt the system is designed to be”
Too bad the US lacks a court concerned about having a one voter, one vote methodology.
Maybe the court should have a marble building on Capitol Hill.
“Hand Counting”
What happens if a candidate gets more than 10 votes?
Seriously, do you want people who can’t make correct change from a $5 bill counting votes?
Their voting method sounds better, but still doesn’t necessarily get the right man in office.
I’m not asking about tabulation- I am asking about voter identification. Since we know where the NYT comes down on this in the US, I think it is highly conspicuous in a piece of that length that the didn’t manage to notice what the Canadian standards are for recognizing a voter as opposed to say, a Hungarian on vacation in Canada this week. My guess is that Canada probably requires proof of citizenship and that would be uncomfortable for a media organ that opposes the implementation of such a standard in the US. That is only my guess, because the reporter and the editor didn’t think it fit into a story of that depth. I think that takes some conscious effort to suppress.
