I know most people here regard electorialism as useless. I do too, but I didn’t five years ago. And so I got roped into keeping a dying Electoral District Association on life support. I was the financial officer.
As part of the role I was supposed to file financial reports, but I discovered they must be done using some proprietary software (available for free) that ran only on Windows (which I don’t have and haven’t had for decades).
Long story short, I reached out for help (to the Green Party), mistakenly assumed they had taken care of it based on their email response… but now 5 years later the Elections Canada is likely fining me for failing to file these documents. Fine range is probably between $100 and $1,500 – don’t know yet.
Anyway, I’m annoyed that running Windows is a requirement for participating in our “democracy”. Does anyone know any Canadian free software or other legal organizations that might be interested in filing a formal complaint?

Should help. Might brick a random dudes computer there but hey, it was funny.
