~41% voter turnout in Alberta

CBC reports that only ~41% of Albertans voted in their provincial election yesterday. While Manitoba’s arguably not any better at 56.75% in our last election, it’s a little sad that such a low turnout gives a mandate to those who govern the economically-powerful, environmentally-careless, and growing-too-quickly Alberta.

Perhaps the problem is the Elections Alberta slogan:
“Vote… it’s inexcusably easy!”

    Perhaps it should read “vote, you white trash lazy scum!”
