⚠️ NOTICE OF NON-REPRESENTATION

By casting your vote, you acknowledge that your elected MP has no legal duty to acknowledge your existence, your opinions, or your carefully crafted 12-paragraph emails.

You might think I made that up.

I didn’t.

Turns out, voting comes with fine print they forgot to print — a glitch they hoped you’d never Google.

'Tis just a 'lil glitch.

Unlike thee BIG OLE' GLITCH (that was 2020).

This one’s older.

Quieter.

Still hiding in the legal code — and conveniently unmentioned on your ballot.

But first…

Have you read the Voting Report yet?

It is...

A localized field report of gloriously uncensored

opinions on voting, not-voting & the questionable reality we all seem to be participating in...

Inside, you’ll find:

— The Case For Voting (by the 'Ballot Slingers')

— The Case For NOT Voting (by the 'Ballot Dodgers')

— And a few spicy truths (which should’ve come with a warning label too)

Expose Yourself (To Unfiltered Opinions)

And just in case spicy truths weren’t enough — let’s roll the tape back to 1990.

Back to the glitch buried in the code — the one they hoped you’d never find.

It all started when a group of Albertans — frustrated but still politely playing by the rules — decided to do the responsible thing:

They took their MP to court.

His name?

J. Wilton Littlechild — a sitting MP who, according to them, had stopped listening, consulting, and representing.

They wanted what we all assume we’re voting for:

An MP who actually represents the people who elected him. (Wild concept, I know — like electing a toaster and expecting toast.)

But the court ruled otherwise.

"He doesn’t have to."

Turns out, MPs have no legal obligation to listen, consult, or even acknowledge their constituents between elections.

No duty.

No accountability.

No consequences.

Poof.

Representation — gone.

And yes — this was a real Canadian court case:

J. Wilton Littlechild, M.P.

v. The People of Alberta

(Spoiler alert: the people lost.)

Now for the part where reality gets awkward:

If your MP can promise one thing… then do the opposite… and you can’t fire them, sue them, or even hold them to account until four years later...

What exactly are we participating in?

A democracy?

A theater?

A really bad escape room?

But hey… what do I know...

I’ve only read Fifty-Three Shades of Eh — twice.

Once for the laughs. Once for the existential dread.

Still not sure if I’m the crazy one…

Or...

Just one of the unlucky few who spotted thee ole’ 'lil glitch left unpatched since 1990.

Oh...

And if you’re wondering why I call it the 'lil glitch…

Because it started with Littlechild — and quietly broke the whole idea of representation without anyone noticing.

So naturally, I dragged it into everyone’s inbox.

What else do you do with a glitch this quiet?

You light it up.

Now let’s keep moving,
