I never said it was. But Youtubes are well known sources of propaganda and disinformation.

So which propaganda is better, the right or left?

It didn't bother me anymore than the fact the Fed has gone out of its way to make things as difficult as possible for me to vote in the last three federal elections (and 2 provincial elections).

That's sad. Sadder is that it doesn't bother you. It certainly bothers the hell out of me.

But of course my rights don't matter for shit anymore because I'm White, straight and male, and disabled.

Oh FFS.

Yet every election season a few thousand people who aren't eligible to vote in Canada receive registration cards.

And they shouldn't.

So, how bothered about your OP should I be?

I would have thought extremely but evidently not?

Am I being racist because I'm not any more bothered by that than the suppression of my own voting rights?

I'll leave this unanswered because honestly I don't feel up to indulging right now.

Aww look at you, getting all professionally bothered on behalf of other people who aren't you and didn't ask for it :) How cute.

When I think of the brutal oppression straight White guys have suffered in the Americas, it just breaks my heart.
Sure - there's no such thing as the irish for example. Jewish people have had some pretty bad moments but none of them are white so that doesn't count, And god knows there's no poor white people who are disadvantaged. No gays are white thankfully so no whites were oppressed there.

Nobody has EVER had any kind of challenges in america if they're white! Everyone knows that. If you're white then you're granted the highest education for free (don't even have to show up for class), you're automatically given a great job, and you never have to work for anything or worry about any oppression.

(This is literally how the left thinks the world works. )

What do you want to know?

Aside from the fact that it's 24 hours.

What evidence? Who needs evidence? You hold 'em in jail for 24, drain a few thousand out of their pockets, get them fired from their jobs, then drop the charges. Oops, administrative error.

Thats not the recipe for this pizza. Nobody asked for ham but there it is.

So Dix, have you any thoughts on what's going on with Florida voters being arrested for something that may not even be their fault, and even arresting officers don't get why they're being arrested?
Haven't heard anything but like "Ron from Regina" I'll bite. Why were they arrested? I will look it up but for now, I'm just addressing your question.

From what I've read thus far, I can understand their confusion. Hopefully, things be straightened out & apologies made accordingly.

Apologies... and that's it?

Why not actually do something to fix the situation? Or do you even think there's a situation to be fixed?

Man you are pathetic.

The 'fix' is simple, educate the staff better as to the new law and clarify it on the forms. But the solution is ALSO to be responsible and make sure you know the laws that apply to you.

None of this is new or unusual - it's unfortunately common for laws to change and for it to take a little while for the changes to filter down to the front line workers. Canada does a better job of trying to address that. But it's not like the law itself is confusing - convicted of murder or a sex offense, then you can't vote. How hard is that.

Firearms owners in Canada face this kind of shit constantly and are frequently 'suddenly' in violation of the law without doing a single thing. You have to be checking the law constantly. These people are convicted felons, they should be aware that laws involving them will change too, So sorry if i have zero sympathy for these people. It's not like there won't have been media stories about it or that the bill won't have had to be announced or the like.

Maybe the best 'solution' is don't be a murderer or a sex crime offender.

Of course if there's an issue the expectation is that it would be fixed! But that goes against the Democrats narrative. They don't want the elections to be free & clear nor do they want audits if people suspect something isn't kosher. That's why you find them accusing the Republicans of voter suppression cuz it's the Dems that are the suppressors!

Until the next election when they lose. Then they'll scream to high heaven as they have always done about how the system is rigged and always has been and their should be audits and protections against this kind of thing.

What did Kari Lake address to the media about election deniers? She had 150 copies of where Dems stated that the election wS stolen from them. So it's ok if Dems complain but not Republicans. Got it ?

And yet it's Republicans that instituted this BS thing in Florida and Dems demanding something be done to fix it. Meanwhile, DeSantis seems a okay with it.

You say Dems are suppressors... okay then, prove it. Where have Dems suppressed the vote on the level Republicans are trying - and succeeding - in doing?

Kari Lake is a wackadoo who has already said she will accept the results, only IF she wins.

If not, they're suspect.

And there hasn't even been a vote yet.

Explain how THAT makes any sense, or doesn't give the implication that voting is corrupt before the election is even freakin had?

One only has to look at Stacy Abrams - she's STILL insisting that SHE actually won and the election was rigged and voter fraud and all the things ;) So it's not like it's ancient history or anything,

But yes the dems have a long history of claiming that the elections were rigged and voter fraud is a thing when they lose.

Of course, the more lunatic of their supporters (ahem) will try to dismiss this simple truth in the most ridiculous of ways. Denial can happen on either sides but for the dems it's a calling,

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for keeping murderers, sex offenders and even some absolutely other serious crimes off voting rights.

But otherwise, if you've done your time, voting should be allowed.

And if the GOVERNMENT fucks up and tells you that you can vote, when you can't, that should not be on you for that mistake.
And in Canaduh there are polling stations in jails.

While true, I honestly think that needs to change where even when you get out of prison, you don't 'get your rights back' without damn good reasons to get them back.

You kill someone (and not accident but actual did it on purpose, or helped to plan something or whatever) and you get out after doing 'your time', there's still consequences.
Getting out of jail is a good reason. They did their time.
