Cross-posted from the Canadian election thread:

> [@Canada: GovGen dissolves Parliament, Carney drops the writ, and the election is on!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/canada-govgen-dissolves-parliament-carney-drops-the-writ-and-the-election-is-on/1015985/584):
>
> I voted on the walk to work this morning. Brisk morning; sunny, and around 3 C.
> 
> Polling was in a local church. I arrived early, around 7:15; doors open at 7:30. There were already three people in line. While we were waiting a line formed from the church door halfway down the block. Knew several people in the line from the neighbourhood, so chatted with them while waiting.
> 
> When we got in, there were three ballot boxes, depending on where your address was. I was third in line for the ballot box for my street, and saw a neighbour, the first in line, be asked to look in the ballot box to verify it was empty. Then it got sealed.
> 
> Five candidates on the ballot:
> 
> - Conservative
> - Green
> - Liberal
> - New Democrat
> - People’s Party
> 
> In and out in about 10 minutes. Still a lineup when I left at about 7:45.
