Winnipeg Free Press

Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 11, 2008, Winnipeg, Manitoba C m y k Page a2 a s i write this ism thinking of How thrilled everyone will be to vote next week. Actually i suspect Only a few of you Are thrilled. And thatus Likely because you re related to one of the candidates. The rest of you would rather engage in something More exciting like Licking the Salt off your co workers pretzel while her Back is turned. But tuesday your Job will be done. Gone will be attack television advertisements accusing opposing candidates of planning to destroy the world As we know it. And ill be relieved. Thatus because i suspect Jack Layton is haunting me. On every Channel he magically appears. After seeing his commercials at least 334 times a Day id like him to know i get it. You re Strong you care and you really do look Good in Blue. But could you please let me get Back to watching restaurant makeover ? maybe i chide him for this prolific Campaign. Every time his commercial airs thatus one fewer erectile dysfunction advertisements ill have to View. When most Are done voting i wont be. If youve read the last segment of my 40 year old voting Virgin series Yourd know Why. Ism casting my first vote in an american election. As a dual citizen i have this right. Those of you Whord kiss an ebola virus Carrier before Yourd kiss an american might not understand Why id wish to commit this act. But theress a reason. When both elections Are Over ill have full rights to grumble about two world leaders. Months ago i was excited about this election. But to be honest not that id lie unless you asked me How much i weigh the economic crisis inspires me to lose my voting virginity the Way a Young girl wants to give her first kiss to that Freaky teen who has halitosis and picks his nose. But ism now committed. Besides i ted be a shame to shirk this duty. I had to work for it. Seeing that the Manitoba american consulate does not offer regular services my trek began on the internet. At first glance the american website read like it had been written by a group of lawyers. I was afraid to press the wrong tab for fear id be sued enlisted in the army or worse made to appear on so you think you can dance. After hours of perusing regulations i gave up. I called a different consulate. Many of you might be shocked by what ism about to say but an actual Homo Sapien answered the phone on the second ring. If he were running in this election head get my vote within seconds he had confirmed i had the right to exercise my franchise in general elections but not in state ones. Registration dates he said depend upon which state you last lived in. This meant id have to sift through another level of government. These were soothing words with great experience in tackling government red tape efficiency would have been jarring. Learning from my previous website lesson i phoned the election office for Arizona the state in which i was born. I expected to hear a voice directing me to action but the representative told me the consulate was wrong. To vote you have to live Here. I calmly objected. The exact conversation Isnit important. Ill just say our debate of no you cant yes i can sounded like we were re enacting Annie get your gun. While some Are tired of elections one group remains excited. The american a omens club of Winnipeg is set not Only to vote on nov. 4, but to conduct a mock election on oct. 22, too. They invite american women by birth marriage or naturalization to join their club. If you feel its unfair to vote in two elections know that canadians living abroad can do this too. According to a Canadian embassy website those living abroad for More than five consecutive years Are eligible. While it May be too late for these people to vote in this election they worry. With a High probability of a Canadian minority government we might have another election soon. For my Sake i Hope Layton keeps his Blue shirt. Char. Adam its.
