      TLDR: Halifax Regional Municipality is launching an initiative to help around 140 homeless individuals vote in the upcoming municipal election on Oct. 19. Outreach workers are visiting encampments and shelters to inform homeless people of their voting rights and ensure they have the necessary documentation, including letters that confirm their name and address. This initiative, led by Max Chauvin and Iain MacLean, aims to make the election more accessible and inclusive, especially as housing is a major issue in the election. While some individuals are uninterested, the overall response has been positive.

      Now someone can win their riding with the promise of free smokes, with this informed educated group of voters

      PeePee wants to force them to go into “treatment”. What a stupid time to be alive.

      That’s awesome! I don’t think people understand that a good amount of the working poor constitute the homeless population. Not having an address is hard. But this small effort at least helps in letting this population feel connected to their community. Go Canada 🇨🇦❤️

      I can’t think of a worse group of people to make any kind of choice affecting other people.

      Contrary to some narratives, most homeless people are drug addicts, not normal people down on their luck. It’s unlikely to change much if anything but helping druggies influence policy is just… not a good idea?

      I’m really sorry but I saw this and realized I involuntary shook my head. If there’s so many homeless that you need to create special rules for them to vote, we have failed them.

      We’re going to to let Meth-heads cast a vote?

      Whoo hoo we’re gonna be lead by the Rhino Party.
