You honour every one of us, not least of which yourself, with your courage and your charm. Vote MAY in May, divorce Harper.

Great job and unfortunately an accurate description of the government atmosphere we have lived with since Harper took power in Canada. Thanks for making this video

I mean nothing malicious by this, but if your (our) lovers (government) are consistently bad, maybe there is something wrong with you (us).

You are a very smart and talented young lady Nona. how do you come up with these ideas? It is because of you that I do believe that I will be voting GREEN. My mind was not made up until I watched your videos after searching Utube for all the parties videos to hear what they have to say. We need the Greens in Parliament. Look at the Quebec Party with 50 or so seats and about the same number of votes I think as the Green Party with 0 SEATS? THIS MUST BE Changed immediately. Keep up the Good Work!!

Fabulous! I hope you inspire people to leave their bad lovers and governments everywhere!

@radoian I strongly believe that if more than 42% (stats from the last election) of the eligible voting public turned out on election day we might get a competent government, and one that represents the people. I figure if I don't vote I don't have the right to complain about the government. (Not that I would--I'm not allowed.)

Sorry for the multiple replies--darned character limi

@radoian It wasn't an innocent mistake, it was 100% intentional. One of the mistakes that people keep making over and over (with no help from the media, and the parties themselves) is this belief that somehow the voting public votes directly for the Prime Minister and not for the electoral candidate in their riding.

[andrcamp20]

@radoian I know that's what they mean. However, it's incorrect and I think that we, as the youngest generation of voters, are the only ones who can prevent these mistakes and inconsistencies from proliferating.

[radoian]

@andrcamp20 Yeah I know what you mean...although I think when people say, for example "vote against Harper", they just mean vote for the non-conservative representative in your riding...

But I was more remarking on the irony of telling people this, while including the word "president". And I know it was probably just an innocent mistake, but it was still a little funny!
