Perhaps I'm biased, being a Canadian myself, but there is a certain type of article, where the Canadian stereotypes are played up in the oh-so-genuinely Canadian passive-aggressive of comparisons of superiority versus the US. I utterly DESPISE my fellow countrymen, who continue to play into these very clichés and tropes that make so many Americans unable to stand us. And the fact that it's the Beeb that's doing it... OY. Guess the next time I might meet some US Freeper in person, I fully deserve to have beer poured on my head as an act of contrition... :P

I’m more interested in which country is easier to CHEAT in.

For that, I’d say the country that has BLM ‘counting’ the votes in all major cities.

> Why it’s easier to vote in Canada than the US <

A heads-up for the BBC: Easier does not always mean better. The most important thing about an election is that it be fair. “Easy” is only a secondary condition.

Isn’t the UK easier? You could never get away with the types of conditions found in Philadelphia, Detroit or Atlanta which make so many Americans question the validity of the results.

Just wait until September 21, 2021 and if Justin Trudeau is overwhelmingly re-elected, there will be hoards of angry Canadians.

And fact is, Canada is still one of the whitest countries on the planet.

My experience is that blue collar Canadians are fine, the jerks are the white collar folks.

I'm okay with mail-in ballots as long as you can prove that John Doe at 123 Pine Street Springfield, IL voted for Bozo the Clown for POTUS. But we have not developed that system yet so the temptation for "fraud" is too great.

So we should limit absentee ballots to our military serving away from their homes.

Gee, I wonder if the BBC is pimping the Biden agenda here???

advanced voting
mail-in ballots
federally run elections

I guess the Canadians do not allow and that is why these things are not mentioned:
No ID required voting
Motor Voter Registration
Drop boxes
Mailing ballots to everybody on dirty registration rolls
Ballot harvesting
ete, etc

I may be wrong about this, but I’ve always been under the impression that voter registration in Canada was somehow tied to their equivalent of our Social Security number — which makes it easier to identify cases of potential fraud simply by cross-checking the voting records against tax filings and hospital records.

“””In 2014, the Conservatives introduced the Fair Elections Act that barred Elections Canada from encouraging people to vote - it was only allowed to inform people how and when to vote and eliminated the vouching system, which let voters with proper identification vouch for the identities of others in the same polling location.

At the time, the chief electoral officer expressed concern this would disenfranchise voters, and opposition parties accused the Conservatives of voter suppression. Many of the act’s provisions were repealed when the Liberals came into power.”””


Buried in the BBC story is this snippet. It appears the Canadian Liberals made sure voting without an ID remains in place

Don't worry - there are PLENTY of hateful, self-loathing leftist Americans who take that passive-aggressive negative energy, amplify it, and reflect it back. I have Canadian relatives and whenever my smug, leftist American family members meet our smug leftist Canadian cousins, it becomes a self-reinforcing cyclone of hate on all things American, conservative or traditional and a love fest for the Canadian Liberal Party. Canadian conservatives are dismissed by both simply as low IQ lackeys of whoever the hated conservative American politician of the day is.

Reading the regime in power is printing and “distributing”
lotsa extra absentee mail in ballots.

Also, reading some polling places will need proof of vax to vote.

Glad I voted i person at an advance poll

BTW - Everybody has to show an ID to vote... No ID, no vote unless you can produce two people to confirm your identity.

I don’t care if votes are delivered by carrier pigeons as long as every vote is a single legitimate vote submitted by an American citizen!!!!!

I have voted in every election —federal, state, and local— since 1976 by going on election day to my friendly precinct polling place. I have never found anything about that to be difficult, and don’t know why that would be difficult for most people, with a few exceptions.
