Check out the "puppet vote mob" @ youtube.com/watch?v=wqNpW5oRjUQ or learn more about our flash mobs at air-medics.ca/blog/ or Air Advocates facebook group
We are organizing flash mobs too. To bring attention to a much need topic like the environment. When are politicians going to discuss current events?
So...900+ show up for a meaningless "lipdub", but only 100 show up for this? Oh right, the other was to be better than another school...this one is only for, you know, democracy. At this rate only 9-10 of the people will actually go vote I guess. Unfortunately for "the youth", you can't actually vote by just 'favoriting' or 'liking' something...
@UBCVoteMob I trust you were careful not to disturb any exams by being loud when you were within range of them? I'd hate to think the vote movement disrupted people as they were writing, especially since the full schedule was online and could be planned around.
Maybe next time this could be publicized better too: I would have probably joined to support it, but I only found out about it today through a series of links.
@gromhurst the lipdub had better promo. it started back in November/December - the votemob was a spontaneous thing that was organized within the week. Also, it's finals season. Get with it.
@gromhurst These are 100 people who care about this more than you do. Regardless of what you think the odds are or even what ends up happening, the only way to change anything is to care to try.
@gromhurst It was exam time. I went to this, but I was hesitant with my dental final the day after. FYI. Maybe you shouldn't be so negative, the point is we did something to try and make a difference. Let's just keep that positive, common goal in mind.

If you MUST vote this election, remember that your "civic duty" doesn't end when the ballot hits the box. This is how the politicians usurp our power. It doesn't matter how many people vote—if your commitment to change ends on election day then politicians on all sides will continue to do as they please. Your voice will be heard much louder on the street than from inside a ballot booth!

3 Million Youth. Imagine how many more youth there would be if 100, 000 Canadian lives weren't lost each year to the misinformed choice of abortion. Women need more support not pushed to abort.
I love how people are chanting "V,O,T,E we will rock the vote" at the same time as "V,O,T,E we are gonna vote" AND "V,O,T,E we will rock the boat...."
Yeah!! UBC!!!! From creating an amazing LipDub to showing true Canadian Spirit with the Vote Mob! Simply spectacular! Looking forward to Elections on May 2nd!!!!
Haha. At the end their sign says 3,000,000 and they say 3000. Too funny!! Especially for university students.

I dont understand this video. Not only is it messy, the chant is 'UBC' @ the end. One is left with a confusion.

@gromhurst The VoteMob was organized in less than a week, the LipDub spent months.
We would have loved a larger turnout, but we were very impressed with the number of students who came out during exam period with such short notice!

@gromhurst And the lip dub wasn't meaningless. The proceeds went to the Make a Wish Foundation.

What does being from UBC matter when you're trying to encourage youth votes. UBC isn't 3 million strong...mixed message.
