‘If you don’t vote, you don’t get an opinion’: Battlefords voters have their say on election day
Voters in the Battlefords headed to their assigned polls today to choose Canada’s 25th prime minister — and who will represent them as their local member of Parliament.
Outside the Don Ross Centre Gym, several shared why they came out to cast their ballots.
“To make sure that Canada does not become the 51st state,” said Cheryl Olson, who came to vote with her husband Darren. “We’re voting against any Trump-like government.”
Olson said she hopes the next government will ease the pressures facing Canadians.
