Good Morning #Canada
Technically Black Canadians, recently emancipated, earned the right to vote in 1837. However the reality of #VotingRights was very different for them, for women, Indigenous people, and poor Canadians. The history of voting rights in Canada was messy, unfair, and full of examples where our government abused their power.
Remember, voting is a privilege achieved through significant struggle. Don't squander it.
