Today is the Federal Election in Canada. I am hoping for the best with a Mark Carney win. No matter what, Canada has to unite to fight the menace south of the border.
If you haven’t voted yet, the polls are open for another few hours. Do your part!
Americans are exhausted. It’s been a year of political and electoral turmoil. This election cycle is one for the history books. A former president who is an aging, disgraced felon who tried to overturn the last presidential election was to have run against a legislatively successful but aging incumbent president who was doing his best.
The aging incumbent had a bad debate and with other issues stepped aside for the good of his country so his vice president who just happens to be a woman from a mixed-heritage family would take the baton and run a race that has been one of fierce competition.
This race has taken its toll on us all. This cycle has been very loud and at times very contentious.
There’s good news is that tomorrow is the final day, election day. Many have already voted but tomorrow is when we will know much more about how people voted. Loads of people are driven to vote for one issue or more. That is a perpetual story about voting.
Tomorrow will be a big day. One way or another, history will be made. Let’s hope its going to end well with cooler heads and respect for the institution and process.
In one week the election of our lifetime happens as Americans go to the polls to elect a new president. In this one your vote and your voice matters. Make your plan to vote early but if you can’t be there on November 5th. It’s time to make the choice for decency and democracy, I’m choosing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to celebrating our democracy. Be sure to have a plan to vote. Encourage your family and friends to get to the polls on November 5, 2024. All elections are important and the one in November is going to be an even bigger election to us all.

Today was local and state election day here in Tennessee. I did my civic duty and went to my local polling station to vote. We still do paper ballots with electronic tabulation here so I don’t get that thrill of going behind a curtain to a voting machine. Voting is as important for local and state races as it is for the federal and presidential races.
Americans, don’t forget to vote on November 5th. That’s a big one for reasons you know already.
I am a proud Democrat and liberal. President Joe Biden has done a fantastic and heroic job getting our country back on track after the COVID-19 pandemic and the Trump administration’s chaos. Donald Trump should never ever hold high office again. I hope whoever the Democratic party nominates will keep doing the good work of moving the nation forward by creating opportunities for ALL Americans and restoring rights lost in recent Supreme Court decisions.
