| Staying
Home on June 28th? |

Collingwood Now Special - Todd Wesley Johnson |
| Are you
planning to stay at home and not cast your ballot on June 28th because
you are fed-up with Canada's political system, disenchanted with the
governing party but afraid of the alternative, believe Canada
desparately deserves electoral and political reform? You can make a
difference, but you can't stay at home! |
| Instead,
head down to your assigned polling station, accept your ballot, and
hand it to the electoral officer, stating you would like to 'register
a vote of decline.' |
| By
accepting your ballot, your name is checked off the voter's list (you
voted) and your 'declined ballot' is placed in a separate envelope,
and it is counted separately! [Total Ballots
Cast = Valid Ballots + Rejected Ballets]
(these are not the so-called Spoiled Ballots which are not counted) |
| In the 2000
General Election, this method was used to great effect in the province
of Quebec, when 2.7% of ballots cast where declined! |
| If enough
Canadian voters register a vote of decline the message to the
individual candidates and to the government will be loud and clear...
Its time for real change! |
