The young people may have no say when it comes to the actual poll, but there is no way in hell you can say they dont have no opinion when it comes to our elections.

actually cockmeat sandwich it dont matter who you voted for.you only vote for the rep around here yes it then goes to who is prime minister.But the rest of canada possibly liked what the conservatives have done in there area thats why they won not the low number of young people

truth right there....

however, the American system is not too indifferent from ours. Technically, voters aren't choosing a candidate but a slate of electors who have pledged to vote for that candidate when the Electoral College meets.

The candidate who wins the most votes in each state normally wins all of that state's electoral votes. With 538 electors up for grabs, the candidate with more than half -- 270 -- wins the presidency. The number of electors from each state equals the number of senators and representatives the state sends to Congress. If no candidate receives 270 electors, the House of Representatives decides who the next president will be.

to actually make a change in this world your voices MUST be heard. It was proven in the USA.
Take a look at the poll results by territory.... http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/calculator ....the largest populations are the East and West coasts. The "old-world" Republicans occupy the mid-States.....and compare that result to when they voted GWB in 4yrs ago....... http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/09/map.past.elections/index.html ....places like Florida, Colorado, Nevada have a high concentration of youth and swapped sides...think about it, those 3 states are Spring Break getaways for college kids. California and NY have populations greater then Canada, so imagine what would be said and heard, for that matter.


ps. yes I took Political Science at SMU been studying poll results for about 20yrs now

lol i only know that cause im takin political science in highschool and thats one of the things i actually paid attention to lol

only if photoshark had takin a course in it

someday you kids will get it. When? That's entirely up to you......


Did any of you kids go out and vote for your own Prime Minister?? Are any of you actually old enough to be eligible to make a stand?? If so, did you deliver??

i did.
i wasnt here for our municiple elections, but i voted federal.
And the turn out for Canada is low because theres no "big change".
Im not being ignorant, but do you really think the numbers would of been THAT high (they woulda been high because bush assfucked the US) if Barack Obama was white? No they wouldnt of. O well. Change is great. Anyones better than bush (not anyone, but you know).
ill rant more when i can think.
(and i took poli sci this year, but my accademic adviser told me to drop it..then told me to leave school. I loved polisci in high school..i got like a 95 or something in it. i had a A- in it before i left smu this year too..politics is actually interesting...hmm.)

dude...it doesn't matter if Obama was black, white, Asian or Hindhu....the fact is he isn't a POW or a war-monger like MacCain or Bush is. Don't you realize what the war over there is doing to the world economically?? I guess not just by what you are typing down. I was alive during the Vietnam war, and in1974 the world's economics was in turmoil because of it. Same thing happened with the Persian Gulf war when Bush Sr was in command.....and guess what happened to him? Not to be ignorant, but I've been alive at least 20yrs before you and I really don't want to discuss politics with people that haven't really seen much. Sorry.

btw, I went to SMU and took Commerce with a major in Marketing. I've learned how to sell things, and why certain things sell. I run a successful business that has been in operation for 20yrs. I've seen our drastic decrease in tourism because of wars impact on the world. Poli-Sci was an elective course that was non-commerce based. Believe it or not but politics is the biggest form of advertising/propaganda there is. Those guys make a pitch to sell to the people who then decide who to vote for. They may not be selling a car....but they are selling their image and a promise. whether they keep their promises remains to be seen....all the while they keep their image in top gear.

on that note, i actually wont say anymore, other than that was the most ignorant thing i think you've said on here. I know a few people my age that would school you in politics, but i guess that it doesnt matter cause they have 20 years less experience and havent seen as much...shit.
fail, puck. epic fail.

Im sorry but there is a lot of university know it alls when it comes to polotics. you can have as many degrees in it as you want but in the end it comes down to experince. The way the world operates politically is not something that cna be learned in a class over a few years. It takes years of experince and watching how poloticians effect the world in witch we live. These kids that could "school" puck in polotics are just ppl attending university and as we all know at our age we do know everything, or atleast we think. So im going to have to say what puck just said is no where near a fail and we have not wittnessed the wars and everything else effecting our economy. in order to realy judge how our world works we need to understand it, and with time comes knowlage, but time is the key issue, we just simply have not seen enough world crisis to put the blame onto any of our municipal/federal representives. we simply do not know, and yes, if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem but before we actully vote we have to understand the grounds of our contry and economy. so i vote NO FAIL for pucky

i vote another fail there.
these kids im talking about are first year students just starting there second year one of them has served in the house of commons and worked along side of our primieminister.

and read what my post focused on there cartier. youère argument is for all the wrong stuff.
anoter fail carter. i wasnt disagreeing with anything else puck said other then that he wont have a conversation with someone about politics because we younger and have seen less than him. thats bull shit. thats my pointé i garee with most of the the other stuff hes saying, not all of it, but most...im just not arguing with himor talking about it with him becuase im im not experienced enough

i vote fail on chris, if you haven't witnessed it you cant truly understand it

Chris, you took that way out of context.

I didn't mean to sound off like an ass, but hey that's how it came out this morning. I didn't say I wasn't interested in hearing your views on political stuff....I more or less didn't want to get into a political discussion with you simply because you would barely remember what the world was like under different leaders. Other then learning about Pierre Trudeau in school......do you remember what it was like to live in those glory days? Probably not right?? My point exactly....you weren't alive for his regime. Shit was dope in the 70's........freedom was abundant after we regained ourselves from that Vietnam BS. Even though it was an American war......it affected us Canadians.

also, there are many people who could school me on politics. But I call it as I see it. Don't matter if people work with the PM....what kind of street cred do they have?? I'm just an average entrepreneur and I've listened to many people from kids to seniors. Each having their own perspective on things. My experiences are from the people of this country....not the leaders. After all, what do they know about hardships and free living?? School me?? Shit son, I'm out here paying my taxes...do you? Does your friend? Wait till you leave the nest son and into the real deal, then you'll know what I'm talking about. Shit.

My eyes have read everything on this screen!

they are SO sore , it hurts to blink!
