Voting situation
I am so not happy with an answer I got from Elections Canada. My mother went in the hospital this week unexpectedly. She will probably not be out Monday, or if so, will be home with strict orders to stay there on oxygen. Since she was not expecting to go in the hospital, naturally she did not vote at the advance poll. I called them and they "did" the hospital on Tuesday and won't be back there. They don't allow proxy voting any more apparently, and the consensus by calling all the numbers I could find is that, nope, tough, she can't vote. She is really bothered by the fact that she won't be able to get out to vote and I too am aggravated knowing that a murderer in jail will get to vote Monday, but not my mother because of no fault of her own. In fact, if they did the hospital Tuesday, then THEY missed HER, because she was there and had a room.
