Yes, they did. Previously it had no allusion to there being any other method of voting. They also identify their advice is for people who are 'out of town' and unable to vote.

They do not, sadly, mention there are many other ways to vote if one will just be away from home on election day.

You can vote **today** using a Special Ballot proces at any open Elections Canada office. They are open 7 days a week. elections.ca/content.aspx?sect

Or vote on Advance Polling days.

@Amgine It still says "We will not be able to vote in person, so for the first time ever, we will vote by mail."

NOT EDITED

@kicou

@Snowshadow @kicou

It once said _We will not be able to vote in person but will be voting by mail._ [imperfect memory; may be slightly off]

@Amgine @kicou
I copied and pasted it ! There is an important word missing.

IF you can't vote in person!.

@Snowshadow @kicou

Indeed.

But that they edited at all is an improvement over most of the bots. Sadly, it may mean it's a live operator.

Or someone working for a contractor in a digital sweathouse operation.

@Amgine @kicou

A bot spreading disinformation about elections on fediverse is never acceptable!!!

@Snowshadow @kicou

The same is true of a person sharing disinformation.

But this information was not deliberately wrong. It is the same link on the Elections Canada website for mailing ballots.

It seems likely it is a more-subtle effort to cause people to mail ballots rather than participate in a safer, surer method of voting. But it could simply be someone sharing their situation, and affirming they will still vote.

And I have my elbows up for exactly the reasons you do!

@Amgine

I am not sure why you continue to defend this bot spreading disinformation. Are you associated with it somehow?

@kicou

@Snowshadow @kicou

No.

I **am** however carrying 20+ years of Wikimedia history, and "Assume Good Faith."

@Amgine @kicou

In school we were taught never to assume anything, because it makes and ass out of u and me. as/u/me

"good faith" when interfering with a crucial election does not cut it!

Amgine

@Snowshadow @kicou

Totally agree with that.

But working to encourage volunteers, the vast majority of them are trying to help. A microscopic percentage of additions are intentionally malicious. If you attack someone for being mistaken, but who has screwed up the courage to make an edit, you may be destroying any chance that volunteer will be helpful in the future.

But if you attacked someone with ill intent, you have done nothing. You won't change them.

@Amgine @kicou
I am sorry if you see it as an attack, it is not.
You are still defending disinformation.
I think we had better end this conversation now.

@Snowshadow

I am going to edit once more in an attempt to clarify further, but I think this conversation is borderline ridiculous.

@Amgine

@kicou

Thanks for editing but
No Thanks for the insult!!
Anyone seeing how you treat your followers should mute of block as I am .

Misinformation and disinformation is what lead to the downfall of Xitter
