A democratic election nonetheless.
But yes. We absolutely dropped the ball in Ontario. IMO elections with fewer than 50% of voters showing up should force a do-over.
Make it mandatory like Australia. Feed them #democracySausage if you must.

Great read and spot-on from @SigmundMarx
Democracies are fragile. Australians must act urgently to safeguard ours https://theconversation.com/democracies-are-fragile-australians-must-act-urgently-to-safeguard-ours-188580?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=bylinetwitterbutton… via @ConversationEDU
For all you democracy/election nerds, Prof. Judith Brett's book about how we got our system of compulsory voting is a must read. You'll even find out the story of the first #DemocracySausage
Huge thanx 4 another fabulous #DemocracySausage ep.😻👍
That said, pretty disappointed that the 4th estate’s gobsmacking involvement in shielding Scomo’s secret ministries wasn’t even mentioned.

I say that we go the way of Australia and make voting mandatory and giving people fines for those who don’t so we can all have a say.
