Atention All Teenagers
I was speaking to a friend today about the current goings on in Ottawa. He is a year older than me and was very oblivious to the way our parliamentary system works. I've been thinking about this all day and have this to say. Teenagers in Canada should be more informed when it comes to politics in Canada. I would (and probably will) be very disappointed when i grow up, start voting and see my peers at that age who are still completely ignorant to the parliamentary system. I'm not suggesting that they become obsessive about learning all they can but only that they get the proper information. It is a huge shame that so many people were drawn into the whole anti coalition fiasco the King Stephen created. It shows how horribly uninformed the people are and how despicable King Harper is for taking advantage of it (unless of course he is also unaware of it). So as a closing note, I say to the government of Canada, the government of Ontario, the DDSB and all teenagers currently in high school that a new, more informative program should be implemented on the workings of the government. It would help the future of canada considerably and would help teenagers become interested in poiltics.
amen to that!
