  • I... don't see how a slap on the wrist for people who don't vote would "obstruct" voting.

    It could also be $25 off your tax burden, but it's less immediate and probably less effective.

    Btw it's a thing in many other countries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting

    The Wikipedia page also has excellent arguments for and against the practice.

  • Hey, I remember you! You're the guy who seemingly spends all their free time telling all of Lemmy about how proud they are of not doing their civic duty.

    Democracy only works if people vote, you're actively undermining democracy.

    Just vote. It's free. Save $25.

  • How can I easily check the poll results for my riding?

    Who I vote for entirely depends on what the poll results are, voting for a party that is entirely unpopular in my riding would throw away my vote, but if, say, NDP has a chance, I'll vote for them.

    I think you got downvoted because your original comment made it sound like you were singling out this post for linking to a French article, but I agree we should tag all posts with the appropriate language, English or French.

    As a bilingual instance, I think mandatory labeling of post language should be considered.
