Mandatory Voting In Canada? Trudeau Liberals Ponder Idea
- Thread starter Grievous
- Start date
It is a duty to vote, but it shouldn't be mandatory.
Personally, I give more weight to the complains of someone
(about the gov't) who bothered to get of their couch and go to
the polls than I do to someone who couldn't be bothered to vote
and yet snivels about the results.
The Canadian economy and culture and currency is 80% American, but the elected in Canada, according to you, are superior ethical prodigy. How is this purity instilled in our honorable members of Parliament?
Good morning db (It's still morning out here on the flat lands).
I think caps (I believe it's a max of $1,100.00 per person or
company....or something along those lines) on political
donations helps in Canada. It's pretty hard to purchase (or
at least rent for a while) a politician's soul for $1,100 bucks.
I'll save some of you from having to click past shiny pony's glam shots in the link...enjoy their little poll yourself:

Why should we vote? The game will not change with new elected servants of wealth. If you could point to a Canadian election in the last 60 years where these replacement ministers deviated from the banker agenda by as much as a comma, I would like to hear of it.
it's one of those self-platitudes that spastics like to spout as if they're gonna get some pat on the back...I vote, I pay my taxes (try NOT paying them and then come tell us all about it), I do this I do that...*yawn*
Blackmail is is dirt cheap, a picture is worth ten thousand words a clip is worth millions. Most are bought at birth anyway, the right people go to the right schools and play in the right clubs and pray to the same Gods. Money isn't everything.
You pay taxes!!!? You need a consultant. I've seen no change in Canadian government adherence to the designed policies of the Black Nobility in my entire voting history. My pat on the back is the gas and time I don't waste electing another baby licking stooge to office. We Canadians don't even control our own currency, as long as the central banks do, a vote in Canada is a vote for the same people with a better hair cut and a different suit.
Instead of politicians mandating that we should vote, how about they do a better job of earning our vote?
in the future they will be telling us that voting for their party is mandatory. :shock:
That's about the time it will be a neck-tie party. I don't support gangs or cronyism.
Yes, dear. The USA sucks ***. That's a brilliant solution to the question of whether or not Canada should require voting.
I think his point is, one shouldn't be criticizing about anothers democratic system, until your fix your own corrupt and failed system.
Just Say'in.

Yes, it's called the tu quoque fallacy. I'm not even slightly surprised you think it's a good idea.
I think those folk irresponsible enough to not vote are the exact people who shouldn't be allowed near anything resembling a ballot box
