@pinecoveviii True, but also many reasons why someone wouldn’t vote. Language barriers, lack of representation, disenfranchisement with the system, busy schedules, physical barriers to voting, feeling like your vote won’t matter, etc. I’m not going to agree that laziness is the ONLY reason.
Today I registered to run for Mayor of Toronto. I love this city. I’m excited about the work ahead and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your neighbours. #ProudofthisCity

2) We don’t have a party to split the right. All right of centre votes go to conservatives but left of centre votes are split between liberal, NDP and Green. It’s an unfair advantage to more conservative voters; (4/6)
