Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa Chief Electoral Officer Stephane Perrault is assuring Canadians that voting in the federal election will be safe despite Elections Canada's decision to not require the more than 250,000 polling officers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. "These are the same Canadians that you meet every day at the grocery store. The difference is that the polls are a controlled environment where safety measures can be applied more rigorously," he said at a press briefing in Ottawa today. The 1965 election changed little and resulted in the smallest seat turnover in Canadian history. “None of the party leaders had managed to mobilize the consent of a bewildered electorate,” wrote Newman. The Liberals increased their seat count by just two, the Progressive Conservatives by seven and the NDP three. Will history repeat itself in 2021? There are snap election success stories, however. One involves those erstwhile protagonists — Pearson and Diefenbaker — once more. This time, the year is 1958. A year earlier, PC leader John Diefenbaker ended 22 years of consecutive rule by the Liberals when he won a minority government against Louis St. Laurent. Pearson subsequently became the new leader of the Grits and quickly fumbled the ball by moving a motion that the Liberals should replace the Conservatives as the government. Recent Poll via Zoom on August 18, paints a grim picture for a majority of Liberal Government under Justin Trudeau, amidst #Covid19, said Vikram Bajwa. Jagmeet Singh NDP is the underdog in #Elxn44, said Jody Smith, Conservative Leader Erin Otoole has only #Afghanistan issue against Justin Trudeau, besides Army Scandals. "If you look back at the last 18 months, we've had elections in Canada provincially and we've had territorial elections. There have been elections around the world. And there has not been outbreaks of COVID-19 as a result of in-person voting." Perrault said that if the situation changes, his agency will adjust its rules. He said that polling stations will follow the public health measures specific to each province. "There are medical exemptions but they should plan their vote and if you do not intend to vote with a mask, I would encourage you to vote by mail," he said. "If you have a medical reason not to wear a mask then you will not be denied the right to vote, but if it's just a matter of personal choice and the mask is mandatory in the jurisdiction in which you are voting, then we will apply those rules."
