  • 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! So creative! You guys ROCK!

  • awesome

  • 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...

    See PETER RUSSEL's video, too! Beautiful....

    thank you!

  • Good natured, friendly, and kind of awkward. Very Canadian :P

  • Absolutely wonderful! Have shared it afar. Thanks!

  • The best video so far on YouTube !!! Im forwarding it to my friends on facebook !!

  • loooool this is awesome :-)

  • Hahaha love it!

  • This actually fucking happened to me.

    I'm not even lying. I'm a stand up comic, do you know how awesome the phone conversations/emails are?!

    I got at LEAST 10 minutes from that alone.

    Thanks, Conservative party :D

  • Hmmm? The 12 dislikes? Jason Kenny, Tim Uppal, Ragavan Paranchothy,Stephen and Maureen Harper...?

  • @kiblanemi --LMAO!!!!

  • Bahahaha! Amazing!

  • LOL! Brilliant!

    

  • I just heard this on the CBC radio! Woo hoo!

  • @Pentamom lol Same here. I love the idea behind it. We are not an "ethnic vote"

  • One love. One heart. Best video so far!

    

  • It's time for a new government! Way to go!

  • Brilliant message, brilliant medium. Every poignant political point of view is best expressed in song. Kudos!

  • @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.

  • This is why we need to support candidates like Theodore Koum

  • Conservatives are the most hypocrites and judgmental people ever. They are just nasty, specially one... :( Let´s get rid of them and we will be sowing peace not just in Canada but in some other places that have forgotten about this word since conservatives got the power.

  • I AM A NEW CANADIAN AND I WON'T VOTE CONSERVATIVE!

    Harper's conservatives won't get away with trying to trick new immigrant Canadians to vote fr them and get screwed right after....i can see through Harper's motive of wanting to use us to get votes on the one hand and just as fast villianize us. I run a small business too....world wide web dot) juan the psychic (dot) com...try me now...call for your one free question,toll free at...18777879083....

  • what a great video! time do topple the harper regime :)

  • I love it Eat that Politicians! Good job everyone!

  • Love this video! Way to tell Harper he's got to beat it!

  • "national folklore costumes". That's one of the most offensive things I've ever heard from any party member.

    This is my VERY favourite political video of the campaign.

  • ♥ this !! go Canadians !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great video folks, aimed at all the politicos, and they all deserve it. Maybe they'll listen. Keep it coming.

  • I am not an English Canadian!, but I am not a French Canadian and Please do not call me an Ethnic Canadian! I am Canadian, like you!

    The Harper Regime is vile!

  • 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!

  • I don't understand how the Tories keep winning... so many don't agree with their values!

  • Harperland News: Neocon Stephen Harper's spending commitments for 2014+:

    ☢ $30 billion for fighter jets;

    ☢ $6 billion for annual, unnecessary tax cuts for large corporations;

    ☢ $13 billion – and climbing – for US-style mega prisons;

    ☢ $2.5 billion per year to pay for income splitting for better-off Canadians; and

    ☢ Expanding tax-free savings accounts at a cost that will rise to billions annually.

  • Loved it! an excellent response to the issue

  • *LOVE* you guys! :-) Just great!!!

  • @ElProximo hahaha dude. Just voted you down for the whining. (Note you can always view unpopular posts by clicking the little text that says "show")

  • All my favourite foods in one video! Okra, samosa, cassava!!

  • Great! We minorities don't want politicians to "want us" only when is time to give our vote! Keep the good work!

  • I hope Google does not take this video down. I love it! Life is short! Go CANADA!!

  • This is hilarious!

  • hahaaa, this is a terrific song!!

  • this made my morning

  • Awesome

  • @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.

  • @ElProximo ok so how does she get a vote if she has been here 4 months - Harper pull some strings?

  • 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.

  • excellant -- am white female 50 something - good for you - eat Harper 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.

  • Just vote liberal, it's really simple.

  • oh god that was terrible

  • right on everybody....we are people,

    just say no to fear and hate!

  • 8 Conservatives saw this video

  • Super! Thanks for being individuals not a meaningless muddle like the politicians want you to be!

  • Love it...great...

  • Awesome! Thanks for making this!

  • great video.

    I hope everyone who votes seriously considers who they are voting for. This is a turning point.

  • Love it!!! Way to go people!!!

  • Wish I could have been there - would have worn my Aran sweater and Irish green kilt.

    Everybody whose ancestors arrived post 1492 is an 'ethnic'!

  • Who disliked this?

  • loooooooool, ok I like very much, Time to send Steven Harper packing.

  • Comment removed

  • LOL the white guy is in the back now!

  • 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.

    Don't be fooled by Liberal fairy tales...

  • @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.

  • @MegaCanadianA ya but yesterday he said to Quebec.....“You can be a Quebecer or a Canadian in the order you prefer,”

  • Awesome. XD

  • wonderful - thanks so much .... I'll share widely

  • way to stick it to Jason Kenney and Ted Opitz

  • 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?

  • LOL @ the two old white guys in the back row

  • @imN0Ttheone

    The two white guys are having a good time. Clearly at 2:03 they are the first ones to dig into the food.

    Stephen Harper tries soo hard to be anti-racist, he has become prejudice.

  • Comment removed

  • 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??

  • More rice please(: ...........great way to make your point. But please remember that there are many Independent parties that would love your vote and help stop a corrupt government.

  • aunty in the middle has rhythm for DAYS!

  • Vada??? .... oh VADAi !!! ...  OMG hahaha

  • Really cool use of activism in song. Who are you fine folks? Did you get together just to make the song, or were you together for a larger purpose - likely the latter! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Hope this spreads far and wide. I'm sharing on my Facebook page.
