Rick Mercer's Rant: Vote! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=225Mx6ya7SQ

McMaster heard you Mr. Mercer.
VOTE ON THE FEDERAL ELECTION DAY!
MONDAY, MAY 2, 2011.

This video was motivated by Rick Mercer's rant (link above) regarding the lack of youth turnout during elections and University of Guelph's vote mob ^^. We've heard your message loud & clear! McMaster is stepping up to encourage youth to vote!

Much thanks to everyone who came out on such a chilly day (*irony* it just haaaad to be the day we were filming). Shoutout to the MSU, Joe Finkle, Hannah Markham and our special featured guest Patrick Deane, President of McMaster University.

  • I miss Patrick Deane at Queen's, he was one of the few bright spots in our senior administration. It's clear that he's found a happy home at McMaster.

  • i'm from the US (not too far from the US/CAN border, in fact), but i've a soft spot for canada, and i've been LOVING the vote mobs you guys and all the other universities have done. if youtube and vote mobs had existed in the late 1990s, i probably would've been more compelled to get informed and vote at an earlier age (i didn't cast my first ballot until 2002).

    personally, i would love for the canadian media to report a record HIGH voter turnout for canadian youth! \m/ \m/

  • false christ comes first

  • Well done McMaster-Great mob/video. Congratulations!

    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. So glad to see Dr. Deane was involved. You guys did great!!!

  • @123omgwtfbbqX you'll make it.

  • Being an U25 Canadian, I feel its not only the politicians that are trying to pull a blanket over our eyes, but the journalists and several members of media.

    We are just as informed, if not more, as everyone else. Yet, we are expected to be seen, not heard.

    This Vote Mob is an amazing way to involve our young society. Let us all make a change.

  • well this made me come to tears. I am so worried about our democracy and here is such hope.Thanks!

  • S CLUB 7!!
