People are really into it. I went to the post office to pick up a package for my daughter and forgot my wallet. I had my US passport in my shirt pocket. When the post office guy asked to see some ID i took out the passport. "Did you vote?!" It was the same at the stationers when i stopped in to pick up a notepad just as a Quebecoise resident of the US was emphatically expressing her dislike for living south of the border. The proprietor and i laughed and i told him i was American. "Did you vote?!" He was happy to have been a witness for some of his customers' absentee ballots. Both of these guys were Greek, and the Greeks here in Montreal are very political. All the same, i hear people in the cafes are talking about it, too.
