To the editor:
I have lived in one postal code area and voted in another postal code area for several elections. Apparently, Elections Canada and Canada Post have a hate on with each other as to where my Voters Card was to be delivered for this election. Either one, or the other, directed the mail to the voting postal code was where the Voters Card was to be delivered since where I receive my mail is not good enough for one or the other to deliver it to. If I want my mail sent to Timbuktu should have nothing to do with where I vote or vice versa. I gather from the person who changed my mailing address, Elections Canada is getting Voters Cards returned by the truckload for 'non-deliverable' as the reason.
Recommend you take a bottle of water, a lunch, a book to read and a folding chair because, for the few people that were at the advanced poll I attended, it took upwards of half an hour, so for the regular influx of voters on election day, you could be there a long, long time.
And we are supposed to get out to vote for a Canadian government whose departments can't get it together? No wonder there is such voter apathy.
