Obama sign in Glengarry

Out in mostly rural Glengarry, I saw a campaign sign for Obama. You can tell it is not in the United States of America because of the accompanying Liberal sign for Denis Sabourin in Stormont Dundas South-Glengarry riding.

Last week I posted some of my photos of the many Obama signs and campaign paraphernalia I saw in Madison, but now I have seen a sign in Eastern Ontario.

Incidentally, the Dundas in the riding name is the county in where John McIntosh had his farm and discovered the first McIntosh apple tree.

Election day in Canada

It is the main and final voting day for Canada’s general elections (I voted ten days earlier at the advance poll).

Soon we will find out the stunning conclusion of the process that started back in early September.

A friend asked me how to find out at which poll to vote. I suggested the Elections Canada website, but it seems not to be loading. It must be very busy.

You can also use the toll free number “For your poll location, call Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868.”

These photos are from yesterday as I was driving back from the weekend. I like the addition of “Guelph Mercury endorses” to the Mike Nagy sign. I bet he was happy to get that one.
