As progress on some measures in the Liberal-NDP confidence-and-supply agreement continue to play out publicly, the two parties have quietly been in talks to table electoral reform legislation before the next federal vote.

Okay, so their approach to disenfranchised voters:

  1. No actual voting change.
  2. No voting reform.
  3. No enforcement of existing laws forcing companies to give people 8 hours to vote.
  4. We'll give them more days they can vote on! Sure that's the problem.

Eat the rich.

No enforcement of existing laws forcing companies to give people 8 hours to vote.

It’s 3 hours not 8 and includes time after your shift so if polls close at 7 and you work until 5 then you are entitled to 1 hour off

Too fatty. Just guillotine them and leave them for the birds.

Show me where it's written in the law that people are supposed to get 8 hours off to vote.
