Although Flora Thibodeau, 107, has lived through dozens of federal elections, the Rogersville, N.B., native says voting should never get old.
"Even if you are a 100 years old, you have to vote," she told CTV Atlantic.
Thibodeau, who has lived through 31 federal elections, was born before women in New Brunswick were even allowed to vote. The change was made in 1918.
Despite the potential for political fatigue, Thibodeau said she still takes stock of the major issues and votes for the party with the best platform.
This year, Thibodeau said the economy in her home province is among the most pressing of concerns. She added that four of her seven children were forced to leave their home town to get jobs.
"They had to go out west to find work," she said.
Elections Canada came to her home so she could register her vote early. But while she's already cast her ballot, she would only hint at which party she may have backed this year.
"My husband was Liberal, so we always voted Liberal ... and now I've changed my mind," she said.
