I had to go and find out what a 911 was in a Canadian context; it’s a ad-hoc “911 civil number” address assigned for helping emergency personnel find a house for 911 emergency calls for out-of-the-way places that may not have a formal address.

That might help some folks, but there seems to be a certain amount of hoops that need to be jumped through to get a 911 civil number (if the web sites I’ve hit doing some quick research on such critters are any indication); expect the NDP to complain about that, if they behave like the Democrats south of the border do about enfranchisement issues.

Whooee! You can bet yer best Bible that the Cons’ll get this fixed before the next electionvote. Rural Canajuns is Harper’s biggest cheerleaders. Between this an’ the dumbass niqab issue, I gotta wonder if the MP’s even bother readin’ the laws they pass.

Outta them 4.4% who been disenfranchised, only 2.6% would bother votin’ — maybe less. We only get a ~60% turnout. About 9 times as many Canajuns as were disenfranchised by the stoopid MP’s choose to voluntarily disenfranchise themselves.

About the visual ID thing… what about all the thousands who mail in their votes? Will they hafta show their face to the mailbox?
