| You gotta Vote. You gotta Vote!!! I went to see a movie a few times, and they have this ad that suggests people should vote. It goes like this:
My name is Yuri. (with russian accent) I risked my life and spent all my money to leave Russia ALL for one thing - to be able to vote.
First of all, why are they spending money telling me I should vote? And secondly, I do whatever I want - not what some advertisement tells me to do.
But here is what I vote for:
1) I vote for a tax on all unhealthy stuff and subsidies for all healthy stuff ( like organic fruit)
2) I vote that anyone who doesn't own their own house, gets an interest free loan to buy his own house.
3) I vote that the highways have less congested traffic - people start driving less, riding their bike more.
4) I vote that governor general gets no more expensive holidays on taxpayers expense, for the rest of her life.
5) And last, I vote we get out of Afghjanistan, and use the troops to fight fires here in Canada instead. | |

| said by yoyomhz :First of all, why are they spending money telling me I should vote? Probably because people don't ever think about what was said in the commercial. Voter turnout has been decreasing, and I would hope our government would be concerned about that, because if they're not, I would question their motives! I'd rather have a government that wants people to vote than one who doesn't.
said by yoyomhz :1) I vote for a tax on all unhealthy stuff and subsidies for all healthy stuff ( like organic fruit) I'm not a big fan of subsidies. Why should certain people get deals that others don't?
said by yoyomhz :2) I vote that anyone who doesn't own their own house, gets an interest free loan to buy his own house. That's commie talk. Why should you get a deal when other people who already own houses didn't get it? Can't afford a house? Get a better job.
said by yoyomhz :3) I vote that the highways have less congested traffic - people start driving less, riding their bike more. So you want other people to ride their bikes so that the road won't be as congested for you?
said by yoyomhz :4) I vote that governor general gets no more expensive holidays on taxpayers expense, for the rest of her life. This I agree with. Accountability is something we need more of.
said by yoyomhz :5) And last, I vote we get out of Afghjanistan, and use the troops to fight fires here in Canada instead. Is our army trained to fight fires? If they're not, why not let them keep the jobs they have and train other people? If we have to train someone, it might as well be someone who really wants to do it, rather than forcing soldiers to do it
