Canadian Politics - Do we vote ?

I learned there are two subjects not worth bringing up in a conversation. Religion and Politics.  We can come to a census that sometimes peoples hand-me-down life lessons aren't always right. The first blog will be bold and worth raising awareness over.

The world revolves around the realm of politics. If the earth was a car, politics would be the person steering the wheel.  We have witnessed countries drive their car into a ditch or onto a golden paved highway. Financial sound countries have been known to be friendly and sometimes outspoken individuals (*cough* Canada *cough*). Speaking of this, My first blog is about Canadian politics.

Do politicians influence younger generations to go out and vote ?  The Last Stats Canada report I read, there was a bigger share of persons living under the age of 30 than the amount of people living over 30.

Are our current polling stations modern or outdated ? Today, Digital Marketing Platforms is following the same growth as Television Sets did in the late 70's. People nowadays have a higher tendency to be surfing the web or on a mobile phone more than setting time aside to learn how to vote. Ride the digital wave politicians or you will drown. One digital message has the potential to reach millions of people.

So for people who are unaware of Canadian political systems or our legislative rights, how do we become educated ? What plateaus does our government put in place to satisfy our political appetite ? I can guarantee you their of plenty of people who are starving for information.

Canada continues to be globally recognized as a stable economy, safe, optimized health care (* business 101; nothing is really free), diverse workforce and strong oil production.  Stereotypes aside, if our country wants to continue to flourish then we need to encourage younger audiences to vote. Yes I apologize to all BC readers because I do agree that you are not fairly represented in the house of Parliament.  Is Canada employing the most efficient and effective route in engaging voters ?

Reaching people in 2015 is completely different than in 2005. Online webinars are available where online participation could exceed any city speech. Tweets, Facebook Posts, and Photos have the capability to reach all provinces in one simply manner. How about we cut costs campaigning city to city and invest our hard earned money elsewhere. Speaking on behalf of the younger generation, education needs to be more affordable. If our desire is to have more educated people, raising tuition fees annually will not influence the right behavior. Lets stop thinking 1+1 = 3 and stick the basics of 1 + 1 = 2.

Who will you vote for this election ? From the information I know, my vote is in the air. But I have heard Trudeau has nice hair. It makes me question what I would do in a seat of power. Can you envision yourself in that position ?

This blog was not to be taken as a rant but as an eye opener. We need transparency into Canadian parliament and we chose to neglect readily available resources (digitally). Lets raise awareness !!
