Reminder to everyone about the election!

Hello folks!

Sorry if this is already been posted or is against the rules but I just wanted to remind everyone that we have a huge election coming up for Ontario in a few weeks.

If you are eligible to vote, please make sure you are registered and go out and vote!

It is imperative for our futures that we all get out there and vote. Especially now more than ever it is crucial that we do everything we can to ensure that we all get a say in our future, as Canadians.

Here are some of the reasons I personally feel it is important for me to vote right now.

Our planet is dying - we cannot let the green belt be destroyed, especially in a time when wildfires are running rampant.

Affordability is getting worse - we cannot let OHIP disappear, and privatization happen.

Our freedoms to express ourselves in the way we most identify as are at risk - certain parties refuse to even accept the existence of nonbinary folks such as myself.

As a student, my academic, political, practical, and creative freedoms depend on it, including things like OSAP, protesting rights, school curricula, and transit access.

If you can vote, please go out there and vote. Because your vote will not just affect yourself but your community and everyone around you.

Edit: it’s a good idea to register in advance to save time at the booth, but even if you’re not registered you can vote - you just need to show ID that proves you are eligible to vote. Registering to vote in advance (register by Feb 17) saves you some time. If you’re not sure whether you’re registered, you can check here: https://vreg.registertovoteon.ca/en/home
