I'm Indigenous and I have family and friends who live throughout the north.

I couldn't believe the recent Ontario election for the representative for Mushkegowuk-James Bay ... the NDP candidate won it by 9 votes

And I have a ton of people in all those northern communities who all don't vote because none of them believe that it is worth it because they are Native.

I heard that there were some communities where voting closed super early. Under circumstances like that, I can sympathise with people who feel that there's no point in voting; there were people who went out to vote but weren't able to, and that must be so demoralising
