"No-confidence" is not on the ballot. You do have the option of spoiling your ballot, declining a ballot, or not voting. Otherwise, vote for one of the candidates.

Of course, you could also go through a legal name change and adopt the new surnane of "No-confidence." Then you could obtain the necessary number of nominations and vote for yourself. (Stranger things have happened at election time.)

================================================================

Just would like to point out that spoiling your ballot is illegal and doesn't get counted. You can, however, get your ballot rejected by leaving your ballot blank or voting for multiple candidates. Rejected ballots are counted.

================================================================

1. A review of the Canada Elections Act does not indicate that spoiling your ballot is an offence.

2. Voting for multiple candidates, or making any other mark on the ballot except the one indicating for which candidate you are voting, is commonly known as "spoiling your ballot."
