are you voting with your P.A.L. ?

All,

Firstly this is not intended to be a plug for the Conservative party. I'm generally happy with most of their moves but there are a few things I didn't agree with, and there are plenty of issues to consider in this election. I think they have made things more sensible for those who own and use firearms.

Just a thought: lest we never forget Jean Chretien, Allan Rock and the fear mongering they bought into and turned into bill C-68. Young Justin is the Liberal leader but many people expect that the same forces are active behind the scenes.

Make an informed choice on Monday.

already voted!!!!!!!!!!

You will not always agree 100% with what "Your" party does. However for the most part I have agreed with the Conservative platform.

I find it baffling that Liberals will point at the cons and say how they blew Billions of dollars without mentioning that it was during the worse recession in 75 years but they have no issue with the billions Justin want to blow for no reason. Liberals will bring up the senate scandal approx 1 million but the Liberals 1 Billion dollar scandal was OK or Ontario's 200 Billion in wasted money is acceptable.

I will be Voting with my PAL.

I thought you meant using your PAL as your picture ID, I have used it before in that capacity.

I like to use my PAL at election time as ID just to watch the look of absolute horror on the face of the Ms.Prissy election officer when she looks at me like shw was staring into the eyes of Lucifer,himself. Priceless!

Absolutely!!!

i use my PAL EVERY time i get id'd...

I used it at the border crossing last year and no questions asked.

I've never had my PAL accepted as a viable ID in any scenario, and i tried many times. Gave up trying years ago.

It is 100% legal photo identification, many people don't know what it is though. Your health card though is not, I have no idea why but the Health card is not legal ID.

never had an issue using my PAL as ID
after all it's a federal photo ID

Sorry if this long but had to reply Me and the wife voted with our pal told the mouthy old bat that we agree with her on gun control that she was spouting that is we will control our guns not the dam liberals shut her up quickly left her with a shocked look on her face and a pile of people changing their minds when we told them what the liberals wanted to do about gun control and will spend millions if not billions of dollars again on stupitity

Good for you ! I think that's the longest sentence ever written. :)

Never thought of using it as ID, But I will be using it now.

I was told the opposite. A PAL is not acceptable photo ID because it is a user submitted photo, ie you could submit a photo of someone else along with your credentials. A health card photo is taken and submitted by an agent of the government, ie Service Ontario, just the same as your driver license photo. I'm not sure what to believe about using either of these for photo ID.

It may be user submitted but it still needs to be a "certified/stamped" by the photographer. Whomever gave you that info was mistaken.

I forgot my passport crossing the Bluewater Bridge and handed my PAL over to the border guard. Ran it through the system and said have a nice day to me. He didn't ask for any other identification.

I tried to use a PAL last election and it was refused.

According to elections canada a fire arms licence PAL is acceptable....

The reason why a PAL isn't accepted often is that it doesn't have your address...

I have used mine to vote in the past with no problems.

I was told no adress no vote. Kind of makes sense as it can't confirm residency in the riding.

I used mine tonight in Mississauga. I was busy with the baby tonight and literally got to the polling station at 928pm. When I was asked for ID I handed over my PAL, of the three people close enough to see it I got one nod of approval and two confused looks. I cast my vote at 930pm, I was the only non volunteer in the room and had all eyes watching me. So far the results don't look too promising.

I was told the same.

I used mine. It's not to confirm an address. Its picture id to confirm your picture and name on the ID matches the name on your voter card.

I'm surprised by the number of reports of people working at the voting stations not knowing what they are doing. Blame Harper.
