Make yourselves heard...

Canada is having an election.

On October 14, 2008 you will be asked to get off your butts and go to your local polling office and vote for who you think should represent your riding.

If you don't like anyone, go and show that you care, and spoil your ballot. If everyone went to vote and there were 50% spoiled ballots it would have to be interpreted that Canadians are pissed off at their choices and not apathetic lazy people who just don't care.

This is a democracy, a great privilege and not a right.

EXERCISE YOUR PRIVILEGE - VOTE!!!!!

I didn't vote when I was younger because I figured it wouldn't make a difference... one day a friend pointed out to me that every vote, regardless of whether you vote for the winning or losing party, shows what you care about. I don't know why, but just the way he said it completely changed my perspective and I *always* vote now.
