    This is pretty crazy, but where are the volunteers? If people care so much then why aren’t they offering to work at the polls?

      Elections Canada is responsible for recruiting, organizing, and training volunteers, aren’t they?

      Assuming so, they should know where there are staffing shoftfalls and address them accordingly.

      Our democracy is already under threat and not particularly robust in terms of representation. It is absolutely critical to keep people from being further disenfranchised.
