I submitted photos online of our passport pages as ID when applying to the Registry of International Voters. Of course, a passport does not have one’s address. I suspect being on the registered voters list in the riding (despite it was significantly redrawn in 2022) for a decade might have helped to corroborate our bona fides.

In Mexico, I had to apply to be added to the Register of International Electors, which i did on 24 March. My wife received her ballot kit on 4 April. Mine had to be resent by Elections Canada due to my Canadian postal code being entered as my address abroad. Nevertheless, i received my ballot kit on 11 or 12 April. On 14 April, in cooperation with another Canadian couple, we put all four of the envelopes in a DHL envelope and sent it back. Three days later I was notified by EC that they were received. So our mail-in ballots reached our respective electoral districts in good time to be counted. Just a good news story! FYI: The DHL envelope and the outermost EC envelope had both been opened, presumably by Mexican Customs officials.

Yeah, for me The Walking Dead were the non-zombie characters, on the run with no expectation of anyone surviving to their next birthday.

It is certainly one way to compare. But in terms of global change, absolute numbers must be considered. No matter hours many people there are, we all breathe the same air. With more people in the area, there’s more pollutants in the air, whether it’s per capita or not. So while it may be logical to compare per capita, it’s not really the practical reality.

I understand percentages. But in your example of addicts, it’s the number of people that counts in my book, not whether or percentage is lower. I also understand that more people, pollute more, absolutely. So to think that our small population needs to make a significant effort to reduce pollution , which is absolute, is a guilt reaction.
