Angela Maynard was only 10 years old when women in Canada won the right to vote.
The 91-year-old Princeton woman recalls voting in every election 鈥 save for one year when she was prevented from leaving her house by a blizzard 鈥 and 2019 is no exception.
Not only is Maynard one of Canada鈥檚 oldest voters, she may be the only person to ever vote from the cab of a Ford F-150 truck.
