    Please show them these margins. it’s crazy to me how small the number of votes are per riding and really puts everything into perspective

      I’m in a riding that is consistently held by the conservatives, and not by a small amount. There are something like 40-50k votes cast in my riding and the reference between lib and conservative was about 6k.

      I still go out and vote, because some day the 6k difference might be 12 individual votes…

      If the conservatives win by a handful of votes, and I didn’t vote, I don’t think I could forgive myself.
