Starting at the University of Guelph students across Canada have been organizing vote mobs to encourage youth to come out and vote. UBC is doing one today and I'm going to go and join in even though I'm definitely behind on my paper. I've also been procrastinating this morning by watching some of the other vote mob videos from other universities. I think this one from UVic is my favourite so far, if only for the awesome music choice and the intro:
This is partially in response to Rick Mercer's challenge to the youth of a few weeks back (which I posted here on DW, and here on LJ). And partially a response to the fact that only 37% of eligible voters between the ages of 18-24 actually voted in the last federal election.
Advanced polls are this weekend! So I'm voting soon. I still haven't decided for whom I'm going to vote... but I've got three days - that's (metric) TONS of time! Also I've finally found out where the advanced polls are. No thanks to you elections Canada. I dislike how you have been attempting to make my life more difficult with respect to democracy. No love, Me.
So things are coming together. I think I will still consider this election a success if over 50% of my age bracket actually votes this time.
ETA: And this is another Rick Mercer Gem from last election - but still valid!
