You DONT have a say, the Electoral College votes to elect the president, not the citizens. Its always been that way. So that vote that you cast every 4 years, thinking you're electing the president, they don't do anything with those votes, its pointless.
Brilliant. Harper & Jason Kenney thought they could get away with slicing & dicing Canadians. They have used hate, they have used fear & they have used wedge issues to divide the electorate. This video gives me hope. Maybe the Conservative strategy won't work. Maybe it will blow back on the brutes. Harper's government actually wants more immigrants to be classed as temporary workers, meaning they can't bring their families & can't become citizens. They are to be used as cheap labour only.
One of the best vids of this Election! GREAT! Democracy is *NOT* ethnic. Democracy is not black, brown, white or yellow or purple. DEMOCRACY is *NOT* "bickering". Democracy is *NOT* "squabbling".
The Ethnic-using Woman-hating Homophobic Con-nenaderthals on the Hill should visit Tahrir Square and ask Mubarak for new jobs...
So true - we're all Canadians! ONE Canada with ONE class of citizens all FREE to vote according to OUR OWN personal political philosophy ant NOT according to our race. On May 2nd tell the Liberals and their paternalistic "we're the party of muti-culturalism" nonsense that we're finished with reinforcing this divisiveness!
@falcasta you are so right I’m beginning to think we really need someone who will represent us and not treat us like 2nd class citizens. All the parties like conservatives and liberals don’t care about us. That’s why we should vote Theodore Koum in Brampton west. All of us should stand up and show to them that we are smarter than what they make us seem. GO THEODORE !!! we need you there.
Cynicism and racism have attained a new low with politicians who show such contempt for the people of Canada. These same slime balls who would woo our votes with such a ploy are the very same scum who cross the street to avoid contact with us when they see us ahead of them.

@ElProximo Are you sure? I can still see your comment. No likes or dislikes. But even if... did you accuse people of being anti-democratic because they voted -against- your opinion? I know this is youtube and not the best case study, but that's pretty much how democracy would work.
excellant -- am white female 50 something - good for you - eat Harper eat it - big time!!!! He doesnt care about anyone but Mr Harper & his family & friends - eat it eat it.
Its about time we stood up for our rights and fair representation in the government, we are Canadians, and our leaders should treat us like Canadian citizens not disposable income.
As Michael Ignatieff said, "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canada."
There is no "ethnic vote" in this country. EVERY FAMILY in this country immigrated here at one time or another, other than those in the Aboriginal community.
@MegaCanadianA Anybody who believes Ignatieff when he says he doesn't target ethnic votes is an idiot.. Sorry but they all target ethnic votes & they all manipulate campaign backdrops... They are 4 old white men. The Liberals are the old-white-man party. Always have been.
@MegaCanadianA It's clear that the conservatives wish to use the so-called "ethnic" vote when it serves their interests. In one Conservative election ad however, they cast suspicion on refugees arriving in horrible health, braving time in broken down boats to start a new life in Canada. They want us to consider they may be terrorists, even though there's no evidence they are. They want to divide Canadians against these new refugees.
@dexterxyz Also, during the same-sex marriage debate, the Conservatives tried to use so-called "ethnics", stereotyping them as being against same-sex marriage like the Conservatives. Again, as long as these Canadians serve the Conservative's interests in having power.
It would be so awesome for all those 'ethnic' people to REALLY show up in their costumes. But if they could make the most of it. Let the Mexicans come in their huuuuge sombreros and fake mustaches, Chinese in their pointy hats, people from the Caribbean in the Caribana costumes. Everything exaggerated. TV cameras would have a field day. If there was only someone who could organize it. Do you guys know someone like that?
To each of my Fellow Canadians who worked and performed on the video...THANK YOU! Thank you for responding in such a humorous yet pointed and creative manner. to the patronizing, manipulative, disrespectful and ultimately dehumanizing attitude displayed by the Conservatives in their attempt to to exploit you.
Harper's people are blaming a staffer for the email that went out asking for people to come "costumed" in their ethnic dress to his rally. I wonder if it's the same staffer who sent a letter to a constituency in BC targetting "ethnics" for their support and which landed in the mailbox of an NDPer? Fantastic video. Can't wait to hear what happens at the rally.
@kersika1 harper's blaming everyone else for his problem... bruce carson's criminal background? staff didn't check it; girl kicked out of rally because of a facebook photo? staff did it so i can't comment.... and you want to govern all of us when you don't have any sense of responsiblity??
