From CBC News:
Man Steals Ballot Box
PICTOU, N.S. – The RCMP in Pictou are investigating a stolen ballot box after a man walked into the Pictou Landing Fire Hall Monday afternoon and took the ballot box.The man apparently left a letter outlining a grievance over compensation he felt he was owed.
Elections Canada says the ballot box, containing 126 ballots, was thrown into Pictou Harbour…
While the ballot box was eventually recovered, the issues that this election were apparently to be based on remain missing. It’s unfortunate that more people living in close proximity to water, myself included, did not take the opportunity to throw a ballot box ot two into the drink. It would have been much more satisfying than voting.
