The only way we're ever really going to get a healthy democracy back is if people show up to VOTE. Doesn't matter if your candidate will definitely win, doesn't matter if your candidate will definitely lose. We need HIGH TURNOUT to show ALL politicians Canadians are upset and we mean business and signal that we will hold them accountable, an engaged electorate terrifies them. They love the apathy, they love the status quo, they love how it lets them rely on the special interest groups who always vote. But those special interests don't represent us, and the more they rely on them for votes the less they care about the rest of us. We need to scare them to get them to actually listen to us and keep them on their best behavior.
If you don't vote you're not keeping your vote away from them -- you're giving it to them. Decline your ballot if you don't want to actually vote. But you have to show up to be counted.
100% agree!
Yes, it's astonishing that Ontarians still haven't figured this out.
