and I called Elections Canada and they don’t have my address as existing! :eek:

They gave me the name and address of a polling station that’s nearby so I guess I’ll head over there and check it out.

Sort of disconcerting, particularly since I finally decided who I’m going to vote for (even though he’s not going to win…)

Hi, Alice. Weird, that.

Remember, if they don’t have your address, you may not be on the voter’s list. Not to worry; you can sign up at the polling place using a photo ID and a proof of address such as a bill or a lease.

Send me an e-mail if you need any help or information.

Thanks Matt.

The dumb part is that about 3 weeks ago I received my voter registration card (so I know I’m on the list) and now I’ve misplaced it.

So I phoned to get the address of my polling station and apparently my address doesn’t exist…

I live in the _Elections Canada Twilight Zone!!!_

I’m hoping if I pass this info off to the city, they might stop charging me property taxes…
