My Canadian brothers and sisters it's Monday June 28th: Election Day. This is without doubt the closest federal election in recent memory and one in which the outcome is most uncertain. In this reality it's imperative that you take the time to cast your ballot and make your voice heard. Also, this is the first election under a new election financing law. It states that any political party that collects at least two percent of the vote nationally is eligible to collect $1.75 per vote annually in funding. This means that your vote will indeed make a difference even if your chosen candidate doesn't win their seat.

You have an opportunity today to exercise your democratic right and affect the future of your country. We here at Punknews.org encourage you to take it.
