#ElectionsCanada gets an object lesson on why it is essential for organizations whose work demands procedural exactitude to hire workers and leaders whose #neurodivergence makes them specialists in that aptitude.

Election workers; nuclear reactor operators; scrub technicians, EVS technicians, and MDRTs; pharmacists; aircraft mechanics and engineers; avionics maintenance technicians and QC inspectors; financial auditors; regulatory compliance officers; quality control inspectors; laboratory technicians; occupational health and safety officers; software quality assurance testers; powerline technicians; environmental and industrial inspectors: All these and many more occupations draw on common (albeit neither universal nor exclusive) distinct #Autistic strengths.

Organizational diversity is strength. Neurodiversity (meaning, variety of neurotypes) is one essential dimension of which. Of course, inclusion is necessary and insufficient. Ensuring sensory, psychological, and social safety of these workers ensures organizations attain the most benefit from their work.

Cost of any NT leaders not being ableist trash: free. Cost of leaders not allowing NT colleagues to be ableist trash: a few hours' training, several minutes' feedback per week, and a few sometimes momentarily uncomfortable conversations. Cost of procedural errors in these industries: millions or billions of dollars, and very often, human lives.

Are you a Canadian that wants to strengthen democracy. Sign this petition sponsored by a Liberal MP to expand the vote to 16 years of age. Its a good time to teach people to vote before they leave high school.

It's now the Afternoon AFTER Election Night in Canada.

I keep switching between all the Canadian 24 Hour news channels to see the final confirmed tally,

And yet...

There's STILL no White Smoke rising from any Elections Canada offices.

Muy contento por el triunfo de los liberales (liberales en serio) en Canadá, una vez más The True North Strong and Free dando el ejemplo y demostrando que en en medio de un auge global de la extrema derecha (y aún con la amenaza de ser anexados por la fuerza por su vecino expansionista) se pueden mantener los valores y los principios que hicieron de su país un referente en el mundo.

LONG LIVE CANADA!!!
VIVE LE CANADA!!!

Interesting that the Elections Canada website is having issues with the where to vote tool 🤔 #Election #Election2025 #CanadaVotes #CdnPoli #ElectionsCanada

Elections Canada’s website is currently down; if you need to find out where to vote, CBC has a tool for that: http://cbc.ca/results #CanadaElection #ElectionsCanada

Hmm, wondering if the election turnout will crack 75% this time? If not this election, I can't imagine when.

Note that we haven't broken 70% since '92 and not hit 75% since '88.

Here's a graph from #ElectionsCanada of the turnout for the last several federal elections.

It is #ElectionDay #Canada so that means it is time to get out to a #PollingPlace and #vote.
Not sure where to vote? Use this link from #ElectionsCanada to find out where your polling place is.

The people at my polling place very helpfully put a “large print” candidate list on the cardboard screen …right over top of the ballot marking instructions.

I really hope the excited first-time voter ahead of me got it right.

Is this a local fuckup or are they doing this everywhere?

Gratitude 🙏 for Elections Canada 🇨🇦 the independent, singular national agency that coordinates the business of getting millions of us to the polls.

And a big shout out to the thousands of temporary poll workers who pull it all together in a seamless + professional way.

We are well served.

NOTE In a federal election, an elector MUST vote at the assigned location. This can be found on the "Voter Information Card" or at https://www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/FindED?L=e&QID=-1&PAGEID=20

This differs from provincial elections in which electors may have different polling location options.

Monday I will be working for #ElectionsCanada as an "Information Officer". The training is very thorough. The attention to the integrity of the voting process is impeccable.

#ElectionsCanada is now trending across Mastodon
