Every Vote Counts

I live in British Columbia. There was a politician here known as “Landslide” Al Passarell.

His opponent was Frank Calder. Calder had been elected consistently from 1960 through to 1975.

In 1979, Calder and his wife didn’t bother to vote. After all, he had been winning for almost 20 years. This was just another election.

“Landslide Al” won that election by one vote.

Frank Calder had forgotten that every vote counts.
