Political studies professor Jared Wesley offers some explanation on why young Canadians traditionally don't get out to vote as often as older Canadians.

Dr. Wesley is one of the organizers of the U2011 Cafe Series, which is a series of public forums on democracy.

  • Youngsters rule number one before voting:

    Follow the money.

  • As a member of the Canadian youth, I hate voting because I think it's a waste of time. My riding will always be liberal, always has been. If we had proportional representation rather than a first-past-the-post system, I might actually think voting was worthwhile. Additionally, at least this time around, I am not even remotely impressed by any of the potential leaders.
