I was able to get an exemption online very quickly but was warned that next time I'd have to have the Canadian passport.

Guess I'll have to shell out to renew my British passport now as well.

So many steps backward. You'd think with the messy elections and corruption they have down south of the border that it would encourage tighter rules around elections and funding, not weaker ones.

I voted early, great joy in putting the ToP candidate last.
Weird world where I feel I have to put another candidate last rather than the One Nation one.
