inconvenience vs priviledge

e-mail facts: We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by very courageous women.

Remember to vote.

PS
In Canada the women of Manitoba got the right to vote in 1916 thanks to the efforts of Nellie McClung and her colleagues. The rest of Canadian women were allowed to vote in federal elections when the Women's Franchise Act was passed in 1918. However, it was not until 1940 that the women of Quebec got the right to vote in provincial elections - the last province to accord them this right of suffrage.
