According to a new study by Ipsos, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is seen as the politician most likely to sell out Canada to Donald Trump.
Canadians everywhere. Enquire about voting machines. Make sure they aren’t connected to StarLink! You might see some unbelievable results with the Trump allies winning.
Those pieces of paper are often scanned into a machine, but the papers still exist and can be hand-counted for random tests or in the case of anomalies.
Uh…no…stop spreading bullshit. We mark our ballot by drawing an X in a circle on a small piece of paper using a stubby pencil. That piece of paper is then stuffed into a cardboard box. When the polls close the cardboard box is opened, the votes counted, and the results called in to Elections Canada. We know who won the election by midnight of the election.
Why are you spreading this absolute fucking nonsense?
Stop.
Canada’s elections are extremely well run, safe, and secure. Anyone, like this person, who tries to tell you otherwise if either ignorant or a bad actor.
This isn’t nonsense. I literally tested and ran one of those machines. You can look up voting tabulators and their use in Canadian elections. They are safe and secure - they’re tested before and after the election, and the paper votes from that machine are sealed away to be counted in case of any descrepancies.
Not that it matters but a lot of places use sharpie to mark the X.
I ran a voting machine, they can’t connect to a network. Stop worrying about the voting machines and start worrying about the cuts to whatever education system produced you.

Canadian federal elections don’t use voting machines. This is misinformation intended to spread doubt about our elections.
