The Federal Election will be held on Tuesday, October 14.

Per the Canada Elections Act, "all employees who are qualified electors, that is, those who are 18 years of age or older and Canadian citizens on polling day, are entitled to three consecutive hours (away from work) on polling day for the purpose of casting their ballots. If an employee’s hours of work do not allow him or her three consecutive hours to vote, the employer must allow him or her sufficient time off to allow three consecutive hours for that purpose".

  本网讯)大温华裔人口近40万,近8成集中在温哥华、列治文及本拿比三地,由于这
些地区华裔人口比率相当高,选区内华裔票源流向足以牵动选情,加上华裔向来有「选人
不选党」特性,各党候选人无不卯足了劲去争取,但人人有希望,却个个没把握。

● 最大隐忧:投票率低 政治影响力式微

  单就人口比率,华裔选票流向对温哥华、列治文及本拿比三地部份选区可谓动见观
瞻,对高贵林一带亦有相当影响力。但最大隐忧是华裔投票率向来不高,空有人口数却无
法凸显同比例票数,自然发挥不出应有的政治影响力。

  君不见大温印裔人口总数约20万人,仅为华裔人口半数,但上届大选却能选出3名印裔
国会议员。本届大选3大主要政党更在大温提名超过10位 印裔候选人。或许单从族裔候选
人多寡判定各党对族裔重视程度失之武断,但至少可反映出华裔参政热度比不上印裔,政
治影响力更难望其项背。

  民主政治是数人头的政治,要让主流社会关注华裔小区议题,就一定要参与投票,才
有机会发挥影响力,否则就会被当成纸老虎,喊得再大声也不会有人理你。

this Tuesday or next Tuesday works the same, there is no reason for you to call the last tuesday, this tuesday, because youll call it last tuesday. so this tuesday will mostly refer to the coming tuesday.
