With advance polling starting tomorrow and the leaders' debate tonight, here's my attempt at a handy-dandy #Elxn44 resource guide for those in need. It's non-exhaustive and #HamOnt focused, but should be broadly applicable.
Firstly, the election is on Sept. 20. [1/11]

There are several ways to vote, as outlined by @ElectionsCan_E: voting in-person on election day, in advance polls (Sept. 10-13 from 09:00-21:00), by mail (apply before Sept. 14 at 18:00) or at any elections Canada office (before Sept. 14 at 18:00).

Elections Canada’s Voter Information Service allows you to search for your electoral riding by postal code, and see which candidates are running there. It will also show you where you can vote in advance polls, or on election day.

Back in June, in an ep. of #PartyLines, in the context of discussing policing, I said that Ontario had stopped police carding. When said it, I was citing this story from 2017, about a new rule that bans carding: cbc.ca/news/canada/to…. But this is, in fact, not true. Hang on:
I was under the impression that the ruling had ended carding. That was my bad. As soon as a year after the ruling, there were questions about the implementation vs the actual reality of whether carding has actually stopped: cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
At the end of 2018, Court of Appeal Justice Michael Tulloch prepared a report saying carding should end because it is not effective. It was still going on at that time. thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
