From federal policies from Bill C-11 to municipal by-laws like the ever-increasing amount of “speed cameras” mounted around our local cities and neighborhoods. Our freedoms as Canadians are slowly being stripped away and I don’t remember voting for any of this! Even as a fully grown adult, my right to smoke a menthol cigarette has somehow been taken away from me while ironically enough I can walk into any of the thousands of vape shops and buy a tutti frutti flavoured vapor hit at a moments notice!? And is if that wasn’t bad enough, now their banning energy drinks with over 180mg of caffeine in them. What in the actual fuck Canada, who do you think you are telling me i can’t drink the equivalent of a couple cups of coffee. It’s time to stand up and take a stand against the tyranny that our government has become.

When I was younger I always had this vision for a better future, a future where everybody actually has a say in how government ran our lives. A vision of grandiose democracy of the truest kind. Where every vote counts, and every person counted. We now have the technology to make this happen, so why don’t we? Why are we relying on antiquating systems of governance where we elect the few and mainly incompetent to rule the many? Get those dinosaurs out of there! And enter a new age; an age where you can come home from a day’s work and direct your own tax dollars, vote on local laws & bylaws, have a say and know it’s going to count. All from your electronic home voting system.

Home Installed Biometrically Secured Voting Intranet Nodes would be your interface directly to legislative changes at the municipal, provincial, and federal level. Where amendments to or new bills proposed would promptly await in your inbox along with the appropriate synopses so that you can make the most informed voting decision. Adding the honus and honor of accountability onto each citizen while prompting new levels of cohesion and patriotism never reached before. Want to see that new park constructed? Vote on it! Want to gain your freedom back? Vote on it! Want to see our federal budgets kept here and not given to other countries? Vote on it! You finally have the power to have a direct say in all these policies & more.

It wouldn’t be easy to implement, but it would be definitely worth it in the end. Thousands upon thousands of domestic jobs would be created to design, develop, and maintain the system. Luckily though, with the help of our very lovely friends at chat GPT we were able to whip up a business plan for this beast in no time. Encompassing all aspects of the project and laying it out in language that even my seventh-grade nephew could understand. How about you, Mr. Trudeau, can you?
