Okay, so I'm a Canadian who wants to vote in this coming election in January. But I currently live a few thousand miles south of the border in Los Angeles. Does anyone know how or what I can do to vote?

Oops. I originally intended this post to be in the off-topic forum. Someone please move it if it doesn't belong here.

Contact the closest Canadian consulate. They should have some sort of absentee voting form.

Yeah, that would seem like a near certainty, and there happens to be a Canadian consulate in LA.

See this link for some other details

Basically, you need to be out of Canada for less than 5 years and intend to return here to be eligible to vote. If you are in the US temporarily (university, contract job,etc... ) no problem as long as you get the paperwork done. Make sure you send in your vote well in time (weeks ahead) to ensure neither US post or Canada Post decide to route your mail via the Moon.

Thanks guys. I will definitely look into it.
