CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.
Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!
I'm a French gamer/slacker/sometimes indie developper.
I'm interested in all #videogames with a particular softness for #retrogaming and #retrocomputing. I like old blip-blops computers like #atari, #CPC, #ZX and many more with #atarist being my go-to machine.
As we're voting across the country, remember that the previous Harper CPC gov, and specifically #Poilievre as the relevant Minister, installed a bunch of steps to discourage voting, and remove Elections Canada's impartiality.
That mess was quickly removed with Bill C76 after the #CPC was booted out.
The council of Canadians and the student federation are particularly pleased with four of C-76’s provisions.
The bill restores the use of the Voter Information Cards as valid identification for voting. Elections Canada provides a card to all voters.
It reinstates the time-honoured practice of allowing a voter to vouch for another voter by confirming their identity.
It moves the chief electoral enforcement officer, the Commissioner of Elections, out of the federal prosecutor’s office – which reports to the justice minister – back to the non-partisan Elections Canada.
And it abolished restrictions on Elections Canada to engage in public education on the voting process and the right to vote.
This is important; people need to know what they’re signing on for should the allow TFG and his #Christofascist backers to take the White House.
Canada needs to understand this plan as well, since the current #MapleMaga Conservatives have similar goals for Canada, they’re just keeping #TightLipped about them.
Should anyone be allowed to run for Prime Minister of Canada if they do not have a security clearance??? I say no as it is impossible for them to even discuss many important things and they do not know the facts. #Canada #cpc #SquintyMcProudBoy
