I have yet to see a reasonable argument for people not to vote. It truly baffles me how ignorant people can be to that power they hold. If you don't vote then you are basically saying you don't care about how your country is run and you don't see the difference in one group making decisions for the country over another group. Imagine if you worked at a place and your boss was making all sorts of dipshit plans and ideas and running your work into the ground and making your life a living hell. If you had a vote to take him out of the leaders chair, would you take that vote? Or live in ignorance that everything will get better because that dipshit probably knows what he is doing? I'd go with the vote. If we didn't have it we would all be sheep listening to the men upstairs for direction.
It could also be argued that no matter who you choose the problems will still be there. But no matter what there's gonna be problems in the world. You can't make everyone happy, the idea is to make everyone a little bit happy in some way or another. And i seriously doubt that the problems we face today aren't as serious as the problems we faced back in the day. I've seen it said a few times in this thread that Canada is "Going downhill". what the hell does that even mean? How is it going downhill? What's worse now then before? The only thing I can think of are the things we weren't aware of or willing to give a damn before. Global warming and water levels come to mind.
If you really truly hate something then right a letter to your MLA about it. I did that on 3 occasions now and all 3 occasions I seen change(Liquor in movie theaters, extended patio laws and removing some stupid trees back in my home town).
