Shownotes:

We do not say that a man who takes no interest in politics is a man who minds his own business; we say he has no business here at all.

-- Pericles, Greek orator and politician (ca 495-429 B.C.E)

Exactly.  What he said.

For a second there, I thought you were able to bring a recording device (together with your knitting) into the voting area. It did occur to me that the accent was not Quebecois. Thank you, that was fun to listen too.

Thanks, Thanh -- I thought I'd *never* find an appropriate sound for that spot, and oddly enough, just put "vote" in the search bar at Freesound, and that's what came up.

The internet is always cool and interesting :-) .
