@Snowshadow I live in Manotick, in #Carleton riding, and myself as a voter, the long ballot was not a bother. The font was the same size as a regular ballot, just the paper was longer.

Bruce Fanjoy has been working his riding for months, and deserves recognition and respect for all he’s done. Also though, if Carleton did replace Pierre Poilievre with Bruce Fanjoy, and the NDP candidate did get only 1.5% of the vote (3-4 points below where she was polling) then my hypothesis is she put support behind Fanjoy to ensure LPC and NDP didn’t split the vote, and Beth Prokaska is a hero.

That’s my theory. #BethPokaskaIsAHero 🇨🇦
