I got there 10 minutes before opening and still waited over 20 minutes. This should be a 15-seconds per person tops kinda thing.
According to Dr Google advance polls have been moving slowly across the land, e.g.
Long lines slow Winnipeg voters on 1st day of advance polls
Advance polls: long waits and a protest clown [Montréal]
LETTER: ADVANCE POLLING DELAYS ARE AN AFFRONT TO DEMOCRACY [Ottawa]
Advance polls slow [Owen Sound]
Uxbridge advance polls are slow ahead of election day
The good news is that at least some of this is due to the large number of people who are showing up to vote. That bodes well for those who want to see a change in government. OTOH there are reports that the slowness is in part the result of the "reforms" in Steve's Unfair Elections Act.
Added... Some news reports attribute slowness at the advance polls to the requirement that voters must complete registration forms in writing. Apparently Elections Canada can't use the details they already have in the database that produced the poll notification cards they mailed out a couple of weeks ago to pre-fill the registration forms (or do with the registration forms altogether.) Welcome to the 21st century in voting technology.
