[elasticweed]

0:54 Shit, gotta hide mah porn!

[lovelplants]

i agree..RESPECT!

[happinesson]

Youth want to help, youth wants to be involve, youth wants only attention but also respect! They have a big part and a big role in the society! Let's listen for a while!

[IWantGoats]

Awesome video! With an amazing message! Awesome job!

[embee1944]

I am a senior and I am so glad that Rick Mercer's rant and the University of Guelph kick started this movement. I hope that your youth votes can help bring about very much needed change to this country. Great Video Dylan-neat to see the SUB where I hung out 40 years ago hasn't changed much.

I am also a well educated Senior bobbillow-and lived in Scandanavia for four years-the PC's will never care about social issues like the Danes-They love to stamp on the marginalized and economic downtrodden.

[geoffpeterstrio]

good job with this video!

[christopherpaetkau]

Respect! I'd vote if we were actually given neon green ballots. Come check out our efforts over in Winnipeg:

[bobbilllow]

Like I said, I have no problem with people voting NDP as long as they are prepared to pay higher taxes (like in Sweden) for the things they're asking the NDP to provide. Personally, I think gas, groceries and taxes are already high enough, especially for students, seniors and lower income Canadians. I hate to think what things will cost when our dollar goes down, foreign investments shrinks and more corporations move away eroding our tax base erasing the benifit from higher corporate tax rates

[bobbilllow]

I'm well educated, thank you - I have a doctorate (paid for) and know about Sweden and other northern European countries which are a lot smaller and easier to manage and pay for than our vast country. There are some socialist countries more successful than others as well as some capitalist countries more successful than others so we can find excptions for everything. The bottom line is most economists are leary of the NDP platform especially during this fragile economic climate.

[bobbilllow]

Students won't be able to afford to pay back their student loans if all the government programs on those placards get implemented by an NDP - Liberal government because our taxes will go up so much and our economy will suffer creating even higher unemployment and the resulting social welfare. So it's fine if students want to vote that way as long as they're ready and willing to pay higher taxes for it all in the future.

[hummer426]

@bobbilllow I think that is a little over-dramatic of you. Sweden is a great example of a country run by a socialist party, and their GDP is the 9th highest in the world and it's economy has been ranked the forth most competitive economy in the world. So before you get all radical, educate yourself.

[bobbilllow]

The University of Toronto's Vote Mob!

[keyofdminor]

One of the best vote mob vids on here! Very fun. Very important.

[AirAdvocates]

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?

[cwztt]

Come help get #EMAYIN at the DEBATEMOB TONIGHT! -Search UVic DEBATEMOB on Facebook for the event!

[Maxmulham]

I'm NOT voting. yay lololololololololololololololo­l. back to my studies. I would NDP, but ah well. Fuck it.

[1111norton]

If you have an independent on the ballot, vote for them... They don't have to vote party line!!

[englishfrog]

WoW!!! No wonder the Conservatives tried to swipe that ballot box at Guelph U, just read those signs. Where are the Pro-Life, Say No To Gay Marriage...and Business Needs Big Tax Cuts placards?

[benelfreako]

@englishfrog They didn't finish high school, sorry.

[cynicofthesystem]

Students: always overlooked and underestimated by the current government!

[GhettoPuddin]

lol, these vote mob videos are cute :3

Some advice: if you want your politicians to listen to you, donate a few million dollars to their campaign. Don't have the money? Then you should be lobbying Syncrude.

[brittanyslambert]

Damn right we want respect! This video is friggin great! So happy to see students all across Canada stepping up! All the way from down here at MUN to the Island on the other side!

[srollans]

Please put these people in charge of my country. The handover of power can't come soon enough. And, don't let them decay into cynical, selfish, middle-aged farts in the coming decades.

[jeanwye]

Riiiight...spend piles on the military and ignore the health of the planet. Drag your head out of the sand. What kind of jobs are you going to create for uneducated people? Well actually I get it. It is called dumbing us down..producing a generation of non critical thinking automatons who will do the bidding of people like Steven Harper and his corporate buddies. Has been working quite well so far. I can only hope that kids like the ones in this video wake up and get out to the polls.

[jeanwye]

So bladder 101 one would assume you never went to school? Yeah probably not.

[bladder1010]

So the fact that taxpayers are forced to heavily subsidize your pointless miseducation -- and, all too often, pick up the tab for your defaulted stubdent loans -- and now your are demanding "respect"?!

Tell you what, I'll think about it, when you stop being an economic parasite.

[timothyfan]

What about Family? Conservative protect Family value!!!

[OAbrey]

This is NDP in you-tube skin. Admit it or live in denial. Other Canadians vote for competent economic management. You guys want to graduate into an economy with no jobs?

[Ecapsora]

@OAbrey These vote mobs are non-partisan. Youth are generally more socialist in their opinions and that is reflected on their signs. They chose issues they feel strongly about. If you feel the left wing parties cannot run the country, don't vote for them. Vote for whomever you feel is the best for Canada.

But whatever you do, whatever you feel, DON"T just complain on Youtube. Get OFF your computer and GO to the polls on May 2nd. Make your opinions heard!

VOTE!

[Dextrophobia]

They don't target youth, because youth don't vote, and youth don't vote because they don't target us. It's time to break the circle!

Youth, vote now!

[MrRdcr]

YES!!!!! I AM ONE PROUD UVIC ALUMNI. GET OUT AND VOTE



[Veltanschaung]

Harper wants to spend $35 Billion of our dollars on Fighter Jets and $10 billion to put in young offenders so Judges can get a few bucks a head from the Private Jailers. Ask the Americans about this!

Put our money in Student Grants, Healthcare, HomeCare, Affordable Housing.

Canadian students for THE COALITION! No more Harper regime!

[Veltanschaung]

Canada rocks! The Conservatives drop.....

These students may save Canada yet from Herr Harper!

[Veltanschaung]

Canada rocks!  The Conservatives drop.....

[Sweetyfashonista]

YES! I VOTE FOR CHANGE! OUR VOICES COUNT!

[jonesyboypoom]

Awesome. I love you students! Keep it up please!! Canada NEEDS YOU!!!!!

[CamTheCat]

I vote for the sax solo in this song! jk great video.

[BoredomCorner]

Did you guys know about Harper trying to nullify an advance poll, in Guelph?

[ayoung403]

@BoredomCorner Victory in Guelph now! Votes are valid! Awesome.

[garymichaelwilson]

Outstanding! I LOVE it!! I actually got chills watching this. So proud.

Could this be the generation of youth that awakens and takes their rightful place in demanding and forcing change? Youth are always--always--at the forefront of instigating any change for the better in society. Go get what's yours! This country needs exactly the changes you’re asking for!

[cherryberry360]

I love my school!

[iolarah]

You guys give me hope. Keep up the good work!

[renarddesneiges]

2 people are stuck up conservatives

[katakanadian]

Great effort but I think it would be worth even a little more effort to redo this and fix the legibility issues. As much as possible change from words to symbols. Words that can't be drawn effectively should be written in much thicker letters. SLOW DOWN each sign's first appearance so we have a chance to read it. Watch out for reflections on windows.

ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC!

[naturalhero]

Great job guys!

[voteagainstapathy]

Lovin' it!

[AntiBSGroup]

Too bad the issues they brought up are not going to help Canada in the long run and will only bring Canada sown the path that the US and what Greece, Ireland and now Portugal have been through or are going through. Money needs to be spent on the Military and other essential areas like Health Care and the economy not on useless green programs. Education needs help yes but its not the most important right now, creating jobs and getting people back to work should be the main priority.

[ayoung403]

@AntiBSGroup There were lots of other issues there too. Just not all of them made it on camera in the shots that were the best. And green problems are not useless, it's pretty short-sighted to deny that. Some people see the importance of that. No one's denying that the economy, jobs and health care are important. But who are you to tell someone what they should care about? That's what voting is for. Our opinions.

[AutoProCanada]

@AntiBSGroup agree!

[acdblnd]

@AntiBSGroup

The military? You must be joking. Really.

[AntiBSGroup]

@acdblnd Yes the Military, why because we are heading into unsettled times where we can't prdict what will happen. Canada ha one of the best Military's in the world , but its under funded and under equipped. We don't need to waste money on green initiatives as they are all lies.

[tengwarsenna]

@acdblnd What is wrong with wanting our military to have safe, working equiptment? To be able to do their job? Protecting us.

[aerocabin]

Nice effort, but voting is merely giving sanction towards one small group to impose their will on the liberties of the masses. Dignified human beings represent themselves, they don't need representation from complete strangers.

Don't listen to the manipulative propaganda, "youth are lazy and apathetic", do something productive on voting day, stay at home and relax and enjoy the remaining freedoms that haven't been regulated away, don't vote!

Youtube "Truth about Voting" series by Stefbot.

[CetraTJ]

@aerocabin Stefbot's series focuses on the US political system, in Canada its a little different. The recession hasnt hit us as hard nor the wars because of: minority government! With our political structure divided the crooks cant screw us as bad as in the states.

So get out and vote, but only vote for smaller parties screw the corperate parties like the libs or concervatives!

[ayoung403]

@aerocabin Hmmmmm...let's just say that I completely disagree with you. Voting is a form of freedom as well. Staying at home and relaxing doesn't help anyone but yourself. But if that's how you roll, then enjoy your freedom. While it lasts.

[TheD3mac]

great video...so good to see that so many young people are so interested in voting...remember you are our future...tomorrow belongs to you...ask questions, demand answers...give 'em hell

[toadali]

Props from Guelph!

[hestheman929]

I care less about who you vote for than that you vote at all. Vote for anyone you want to, just so long as you vote.

[luvdastuf]

Great Video.  I am so glad you are getting involved. I hope the youth vote spreads across this country like wild fire. The choice is simple: unnecessary prisons, planes and huge win falls for the rich, absolutely no plan to sustain the environment, nothing for education and no plan to address the jobs of the future. And lets not forget the huge debt that will be left to you as Harper continues to borrow, borrow, borrow to finance his nowhere agenda. Its not good enough for you or Canada.

[TheGrantPalin]

Proud of my university for one more reason!

[1988scottcarey]

Dumb Sheeple it's the Queen who has all the power..You're vote does not matter!

[TheD3mac]

@1988scottcarey...every one completely ignore such foolish ignorant statements from idiots like this...obviously doesn't know how our political system works...your votes are not only matter but are important

[latohp]

Simple, powerful, effective- touching, inspiring! Thank you!

[latohp]

Simple, powerful, effective- touching, inspiring! Thank you!

[MegaCanadianA]

Stevie Harper may not respect the fact that students have the right to vote and participate in the democratic process, but the rest of Canada does.

Kick him to the curb.

[AutoProCanada]

@MegaCanadianA what are you talking about ? Stephen Harper has done more for the youth then any other Minister.

[BoredomCorner]

@AutoProCanada How do you figure? The feds have no control over education, Harper's all but destroyed the working class, and there are a lot of students across the country who could prove to you that he doesn't really like students to be truly engaged in politics.

[007nadineL]

I havn't cried this much since I saw last Sunday's university flash mob vote at HarperCon's fake rally. Bravo~

[TERRYMCKINNEY32]

You all look so f'ing young.Enjoy it while you got it.Please,please,vote.You don't need to ask for whom,yes?

[cxz789]

Well done!

[emilydrystek]

This is super great! Thank you for spreading the word and expression your elections concerns !

[TheAlektera]

Woo! Awesome vid! You got my respect. You have the power to save Canada and bring back the values that made us proud to be Canadian. Go Youthvote!!

[greenwing89]

mad respect, spread the word

[MattOBrienMcMaster]

This seems incredibly biased.

[tbverrall]

not that I disagree with the issues their talking about, but they all kinda appear to be social issues and nothing else..

[scottdoyle250]

@tbverrall yep



[jeanwye]

@tbverrall Perhaps if you had finished school, you would have learned to spell.

[brenda3d2]

Yes, exactly. These are not just "programs and services" for idiots who cannot make a buck; they are values and Canadians are not ready to give them up!

[dylanjsherlock]

@brenda3d2 Totally! Youth are not apathetic blank slates, we do have issues, but we're always seeing our issues end up at the bottom of the pile of government priorities. I apologize that some signs were harder to see than others, particularly, "aboriginal rights", "rural health care" and other important issues weren't visible. The point was not to promote a particular issue, but the idea that youth have their own distinct issues and politicians must speak to them if they want our votes.

[67ricgh]

youre all retarded lmao wow im speechless

[5678connie]

Yaaaaaaaa !!! We are counting on you, thanks for this.

[5678connie]
