A reminder to those who live in British Columbia (and elsewhere in Canada) that today is the municipal elections, so try to get out and vote. And even more important, please take the time to learn a little about each candidate so that you know who you are voting for!

As one lovely lady in the line up was saying, if you don't vote you don't get to complain. This is the one chance in four years to have a real say in how our communities are operated, and every resident should take advantage of this rare opportunity.

So get out and vote!

UPDATE: I just got back from voting and there was a 45-minute wait just to get into the building. I understand that other polling stations are reporting similar crowds, so please consider that when deciding what time to go out and vote. It won't be a quick process this time!
