Why were there five, yes five poll workers at my polling station (which is just a small library) standing next to a sign and pointing in the same direction of the sign? Is that worth $28/h for 5 people of our tax dollars? Let's do the math.

Polls are open for 12 hours.

28 x 5 = 140 140 x 12 = 1680

According to elections Canada there are roughly 20 000 polling stations in Canada (Source: https://electionsanddemocracy.ca/canadas-elections/canadas-election-process/elections-step-step)

1680 x 20 000 = 33 600 000

Being conservative and assuming each polling station has the same amount of poll workers, it's costing us $33.6 Million dollars for people to do the job of a literal lamp post.
