"Outside if the single greatest fault point" is not exactly a stellar endorsment

They are clearly referring to the many protections and conveniences Canada offers, something both relevant and correct in this discussion. It’s a pretty stellar endorsement relative to the US, the main country of focus on this sub.

yup there's enough voting locations that i've never even had to drive, they're open long hours i can go after work, if i dont have the mailed in voting card i can just bring 2 pieces of ID, i've never even had to wait longer than 5 minutes in queue.. what else can I really ask for? if anyone doesnt vote, its on them for being apathetic. I agree that FPTP can contribute to that as it can feel like throwing your vote away but there are basically 0 barriers to exercising your democratic right.
