Thank you everyone for all the words, means a lot to me to such amazing people out there.
I am sad to read people here are not voting. You really should look into it and vote or at least show some interest and and slowly work yourself up to voting. I used to co-op in an MP's office (federal member of parliament) and I can tell you when people come in there looking for help from the gov't the first thing we do is check the electoral list from previous years. They verify if people have in fact voted. You cannot expect help from people to expedite your paperwork or whatever you need when you have not done anything else for them. They don't know who you voted for, but they do know if you voted so even if you do not like a single candidate (like me this time around) go and vote and even spoil your ballot if need be. I know a lot of people are now looking at the option of making it a policy/law to vote. Unfortunately the majority of people not voting are of the lower income families, not even sure why. The policies are in place where employers must offer 2hrs off at some point during the poll openings (meaning if you work 12hr days you have to be given time off to vote unpaid) and polls are usually very close to homes. You can call a party and ask for someone to drive you if you are unable to make it out. Advance polls are there. Really I am stumped. Perhaps if the gov't started fining people or holding their gov't cheques (welfare/baby bonus) for those who are not voting we would see more out there.
You can give your account away on P&P? How does that work? I have had problems in the past where the customs were charged and COD was expected but I rejected them and always got them resent no problems. I remember your problems before Michelle1 with this, just wondering how yours seems to be the only one not resolved properly? Did you email P&P at the time? I emailed them and 2nd time it came back with no charges.
Freebie sites are great, don't know why anyone would not be happy about it :)
