Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to vote in the upcoming Ontario provincial election while representing a Quebec riding federally has offended at least one Conservative MP from Quebec. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed Thursday that Trudeau would cast his ballot at the Ottawa-Vanier returning office. Louis-Saint-Laurent MP Gérard Deltell tweeted Friday that it was unacceptable for a Quebec MP to vote in another province's election. pic.twitter.com/FmL0mmkQE8 —@gerarddeltellElections Ontario says every Canadian citizen aged 18 and above is entitled to vote in the provincial election as long as they live in an Ontario electoral district. A PMO spokesperson said Trudeau cannot vote in Quebec's fall election because he is not a full-time resident of that province.
