Voting is sexy!

We live in such a wired, digital age, and we're constantly bombarded with new media sources. Add to that the popularity of things like Twitter and an abundance of current issues that should be important to us, and you should have a high rate of young voters, right? Wrong. Canadian youth are some of the most underrepresented at the elections, so it's important to go out and show that you are worth more than your tax dollars!
READ up on party platforms, think of things that represent your own values and ideas, and most importantly- look at track records in your own ridings. There is NO reason why you, as a Canadian citizen, with your own set of values, and 10 minutes to spare out of your schedule WONT go out to vote.
Its our moral, civic and awakened (if you will) duty as people to elect the people who will lead in our societies...

BUT, if this all sounds boring to you, I'll just let Nelly Furtado tell you:




Okay, so perhaps I wouldn't have really said that way, and yes I admit this video made me cringe a bit, but I LOVE the underlying message: VOTE!
