The Shining City Upon a Hill

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

I receive a voter registration card in the mail with a Voter ID #. I can vote in person or online. What could be easier? No line ups, no being overheated in the sun, standing inline for long periods of time with other people that I do not know during COVID.

Nothing at all like the way people are being legislated to vote in Georgia.

By the way, no statistically significant hint of voter fraud in Canada.

Straight from Canada's federal website:



Facts about voter ID and the voter information card



Since 2007, electors have to prove their identity (who they are) and their address (where they live) before they can vote in federal elections.





Some Canadians may not have the necessary documents or ID
In Canada, 86% of the population 18 and over has a driver's license. footnote 1 In some provinces and territories, an increasing number of Canadians who don't drive have a government-issued ID card with their photo, name and address.


According to an EC survey conducted after the 2015 general election, 93% of electors who voted recalled showing a government-issued photo ID with their name and address in order to vote. footnote 2


However, proving address may be especially difficult for some groups of electors, such as seniors living in long term care, students away at school, and First Nations electors living on reserve.


Voter information Card
About voter information cards
About three weeks before election day, Elections Canada mails personalized voter information cards to electors. The card tells them that they are registered to vote. It also tells them when and where to vote, the different ways they can vote, and how to get more information.


The card is sent to electors registered in the National Register of Electors, at the address in the Register. The Register is a database of Canadians who are qualified to vote in federal elections.





Every year, approximately 14% of Canadians aged 18 and older move.footnote 3 Elections Canada learns about electors' new addresses through our various sources, and we update our records continually.





As of June September, 96.3% of all eligible electors were included in the Register, and 93.2% of the electors in the Register were listed at their current address.

By the way, There is no electronic or online voting in Canadian federal elections. Paper ballots are hand-counted. You must be voting online in local elections. How do you vote in Federal elections?

And in order to qualify for that ID# you had to show up at least once with a valid photo ID either at your assigned poling place or the Registrar of Voters.

Yes, I remember now, the last Federal election I went to a nearby Church Hall to vote. In/out 15 minutes. I did have to bring a piece of paper that was mailed to me to vote that was manually checked against a long list of registered voters. I remember there was four choices on the ballot for the local candidate. You could not vote for the national candidate directly unless you lived in that person's local riding.

The electronic election was municipal because they have such a hard time to get people to vote.

Going by your past statements, Canada's Federal voting laws places undue hardship on blacks.

I cannot remember. If I did it was a very long time ago. For the last many elections you get a piece of paper in the mail with your name and address on it. You vote by filling in a circle with a small pencil and put your folded ballot in a very close cardboard box.

You can early vote and be in/out in minutes at a nearby polling place. There were many voting stations in my City. Easy access was never an issue.

How do you reach that conclusion?

In my area there are more foreign immigrants than black people.

The same way you reached that conclusion on Georgia.

Create good jobs electrifying vehicles. U.S. market share of plug-in electric vehicle (EV) sales is only one-third the size of the Chinese EV market. The President believes that must change. He is proposing a $174 billion investment to win the EV market. His plan will enable automakers to spur domestic supply chains from raw materials to parts, retool factories to compete globally, and support American workers to make batteries and EVs. It will give consumers point of sale rebates and tax incentives to buy American-made EVs, while ensuring that these vehicles are affordable for all families and manufactured by workers with good jobs. It will establish grant and incentive programs for state and local governments and the private sector to build a national network of 500,000 EV chargers by 2030, while promoting strong labor, training, and installation standards. His plan also will replace 50,000 diesel transit vehicles and electrify at least 20 percent of our yellow school bus fleet through a new Clean Buses for Kids Program at the Environmental Protection Agency, with support from the Department of Energy. These investments will set us on a path to 100 percent clean buses, while ensuring that the American workforce is trained to operate and maintain this 21st century infrastructure. Finally, it will utilize the vast tools of federal procurement to electrify the federal fleet, including the United States Postal Service.

• Redress historic inequities and build the future of transportation infrastructure. The President’s plan for transportation is not just ambitious in scale, it is designed with equity in mind and to set up America for the future. Too often, past transportation investments divided communities – like the Claiborne Expressway in New Orleans or I-81 in Syracuse – or it left out the people most in need of affordable transportation options. The President’s plan includes $20 billion for a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access. The President’s plan will inspire basic research, like advanced pavements that recycle carbon dioxide, and “future proof” investments that will last decades to leave coming generations with a safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation system. And, the President’s plan will accelerate transformative investments, from pre-development through construction, turning “shovel worthy” ideas into “shovel ready” projects. This includes $25 billion for a dedicated fund to support ambitious projects that have tangible benefits to the regional or national economy but are too large or complex for existing funding programs.

Speaking of transportation, I read today that the last US national air carrier is no longer keeping the middle seat empty during COVID-19. Millions of people are flying each week in the USA packed together for long periods of time with COVID variants beginning to rapidly expand in the USA.
