Apathetic Voters Harper's Best Friends
Come on Canada, we cannot allow apathy to rule our political landscape. So get your walking shoes on and make your way to the ballot box. No excuses.
Try to imagine living in a land where you're not allowed to vote, think Brunei and the United Arab Emirates. To be fair it should be noted that change is on the way to the United Arab Emirates. If you're a woman the list is longer. If you want to vote without fearing for your own safety or that of your family the list is even longer still. So come on let's show the men and women who died to give us this basic right and prove we are worthy of their great loss.
Democracy and the right to vote is nothing to be apathetic about. Don't worry if you have never voted in the past make tomorrow your first ticking of your "X". I don't know of anyone that ever regrets casting their vote. Try it, you just might find you enjoy being a part of the system and a part of the action. This is a great country we have been blessed to be a part of so the least we can do is take a bit of time out of our hectic schedule and show we are true citizens with a voice that counts.
My voice will be heard. Will yours?
p.s. Just survived the wicked cold that was going around here. Once again I find myself behind in most everything. One day I just may catch up. Of course I believe tomorrow night I will turn on the news and see a repeat of the Kimmie, "I can speak French" Campbell days when the then Conservative Party ended the day with 2 seats! Now that was a fun election.
