Once again, a federal election call was made well before western votes had a chance to be considered, leaving some voters feeling disenfranchised, as if their votes don’t matter.
On Monday night, at about 7:15 p.m. PT, media outlets, including CBC News, projected the Liberals would form the next government.
That was 15 minutes after polls had closed in B.C., and not long after they closed in Alberta. The election call was made knowing only the early results of the more Eastern provinces.
