Nonpartisanindv

Amazing, I love this forum. Thanks for all of the feedback. I have to agree that not letting youth vote would be a big mistake! That's like a CEO saying we should not implement new products/ideas into our company. I think it's a bit over the top to say that the baby boomers have ruined the NA economy but perhaps it's not far off. I was talking about low voter turn out to my friends last night and they forwarded me a few of these websites that are geared toward mobilizing voters... I've been impressed with the self-less Non-partisan mission of a lot of them http://www.likemypm.ca/ ... http://leadnow.ca/en/vote-mobs ... http://www.votesocial.ca/ I don't know if I've been this excited for an election before! Should be interesting.

Well said. I completely agree. No one's opinion is wasted in a democracy.

I think it's disgusting that voter turnout for the 2008 Canadian Federal election was the lowest since confederation (58%). Canadians have to wake-up and remember that voting is a right. We either wake-up or ask for some sort of shake-up in the electoral process?

The balance required to maintain good status in society is the one aspect being overlooked. As many are hinting at, without balance both money and power will eventually fall by the wayside.

I had no idea, thanks. I was trying to tie the two together the other day and I could see some similarities but Ducept's father starting the NDP explains the coziness.
