🇨🇦Canada does not have free healthcare.

Canadians, a compassionate people, have decided to collectively pay the healthcare costs of every citizen and permanent resident of Canada.

We all collectively together pay for each other’s and everyone’s publicly delivered healthcare.

We're working hard to improve service for election day when there will be nearly 4x as many polling places as there were during advance polls. We've added more workers and tables where possible.

Voting by mail? If you’re worried your completed special ballot kit won’t make it to us by election day, you can drop it off at your local Elections Canada office any time before polls close on election day. Find your local office: https://t.co/ppzliUJ0IM
