Who said Canadians were polite but passive?
Over 7 million of them just shattered early voting records, and they did it over Easter weekend.
That’s right—while some folks were hunting eggs, others were lining up to cast ballots.
With the April 28 election around the corner, the energy is electric.
Advance polls drew 7.3 million voters—a 25% jump from 2021. Even mail-in ballots are up.

With Quebec’s Bloc and the NDP still in play, anything can happen.
Canadians have shown up early—will they show up big on election day? Buckle up.
This one’s coming down to the wire.
