A big thank you to all volunteers!

I just wanted to send a big shout out to all the volunteers from all the parties across all the ridings for your help in making democracy work.

Without the help of thousands of volunteers across this great country, our democracy would be much weaker.

I would also like to thank the thousands of Election Canada works in all the polls across all the ridings. Until last night I had no idea what the extent of your job was, and how difficult and tedious it was.

Again, a big thank you to all the volunteers and all the works across all 308 ridings in this great country.

Yes it is quite a serious of Russian dolls to get everything in the right envelope in the right order, have everything signed and still get out of there before midnight! Expecially when you know that the other volunteers and workers are partying while you are counting away.

The poll clerk I worked with was very good, although obviously not a Conservative, and he said that of all the elections he had worked on, the elections for unions were taken the most seriously.
