Go Vote

There are a lot of reasons to vote.

If you don't vote, you can't complain.  It's a small price of civic duty, kinda like being called to be on jury, to pay for being a Canadian citizen.  In some countries, fairly modern ones too, you are expected to do mandatory military service.  To think that Canadians, some 42% of us last election couldn't be asked to take an hour or two of time out of our day (paid for too by the way) to express our opinion?  That's pretty crazy.

I'm not endorsing a question of who, because I believe who you vote for depends on your riding.  But get out there.  Democracy will not wait for you, in Ancient Greece when it was devised, I was told in Ancient History class that they had never conceived that there would be people in society who would be apathetic to the political, judicial, legislative process.  They believed that all land owning men (or slave owning, hey I didn't say it was perfect) would be interested and engaged in process.

Let's get out there, Canada.  Let's show the world that we do care, we are engaged.  Let's be able to wake up tomorrow and no matter the results, know that we made the decision.  Not someone else for us.

Go Vote.
