Well well people, Canada goes to the polls tomorrow. The polls will be open from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm and are pretty accessible.
Here are few quick sites to entertain you.
Our own take on what you need to know.
If you missed the Canadian leaders debate, you can .
.
For those of you entirely unfamiliar with the process, the ballot should look like something similar to the image on the right. You’ll go to the polls and present .
Once you’re in, go to the little cardboard station and mark your ballot. Remember, you cast your vote for your local candidate, but because of Canada’s system, the party with the most seats overall (most canadidates elected) will form the government.
While I absolutely do not endorse this site by any means (i’m of the opinion you should vote your conscience after careful and deliberate education on the issues), provides a riding-by-riding analysis of the likelihood of a particular candidate being elected. It may give you an idea of who’s going to win in your neighbourhood.
No matter what, get the hell out to vote. Not hard, and even if you are working, your employer is required by law to give you . Here’s a direct quote:
For example, if an employee lives in an electoral district in which the hours for voting are 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and the employee’s hours of work are 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the employee’s hours of work will not allow three consecutive hours for voting. The employer might allow the employee to arrive late (at 12:30 p.m.), to leave early (at 6:30 p.m.), or provide the employee three hours off at some other point during the work day in order to allow the employee the opportunity to exercise the right to vote.
As another example, if the employee lives in an electoral district in which voting hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the employee’s hours of work are between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., the employer is not required to provide the employee time off for the purpose of voting, because the employee will already have available three and a half consecutive hours for voting (from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.).
Seriously, there’s no pretending that ex-Beatle Ringo Starr is any good. Despite the fact that he was the least popular, and possibly the least talented of the Beatles, he’s now officially made himself a bad celebrity.
I cannot make this kind of stuff up. In another shining example of legal genius, a judge in Ohio has decided that instead of paying a $150 fine for pumping that ‘rap music’ so loud out of his car and disturbing the peace, the fine will be cut to $35 if the Defendant (Andrew Vactor) would spend 20 hours listening to classical music.
Ty, evidently a well known British rapper, has come out with some pretty daming statements.
This is barely worthy of 4080 News, but it’s at least a little entertaining. Apparently Lil Wayne just got hired to blog for ESPN.
