So I went to the advanced voting today, we were in line and a little old lady ahead of us started chatting with my wife. She started the conversation by going "thank you for voting today, I've been telling all my friends to get out and vote because its the most important one in our Lives". Half expecting the next sentence to be " because we need to leave Canada" I am happy to report she started going off about Daniel Smith, asking "what kind of Christians are we?" If we vote to underfund immigrants, and that we need to fight against trump. She told us shes always voted conservative her whole life but that she wants to vote out the two-faced UCP. I feel like the winds are changing.

    I feel like the winds are changing.

    Meanwhile BC seems dead set on throwing out the NDP for a Conservative party that seems to only ever make headlines for how dysfunctional it is.
