This video is worth every one of the 4:45 minutes it takes to watch it. It is American but translates pretty well to Canada.
Apathy is boring and voting in Canada is even EASIER. BECAUSE you don't have to register to vote in Canada. Here you just have to show up with some ID.
The world is run by those who show up. You get the government you deserve - especially if you don't show up to vote.
To find out where you vote just Google Elections Canada. Advanced polls are Today and Monday...if you can't make it on October 14th.
I am interested in pragmatic pluralist politics, citizen participation, protecting democracy and exploring a full range of public policy issues from an Albertan perspective.

Awesome video Ken. I have to admit that your Twitter message shocked me for a second.
ReplyDeleteI have always blogged and opined that our younger generations have been underestimated by most "grown-ups". Although this video is not patently targeted at the younger generations, we have to assume that it's reach will be heavily slanted towards the young, tech-savvy crowd. That makes me excited about the future, as frankly today's youth are arguably better educated on the important issues at hand. Opinion "silos" are being destroyed, and we have the internet to thank for that.
Now before I fall into mindless rhetoric about this, I must return to my online poker tournament.
I love Sarah Silverman. Hilarious. We should do one of these Ken, Canadian style... we could get, um... well, we could probably get Lorne Cardinal!
