I guess people are screwing the vote because they think that it`s better than voting the screw! But I don`t think screwing the vote is good. In 1995, here in Ontario, Mike Harris literally won by default because of low voter turnout. Ontarians have since regretted the coming to power by this corporate fascist! No, I actually think that these tyrant leaders like it when people don`t go out to vote!

This was an excellent show, I think it addressed much of the voter apathy and made some not so subliminal statements that if you don't vote, you are letting someone else run your life! It was in your face and I hope alot of people, not only the youth were watching!

It certainly made the argument that we need Pro Rep for people to feel more involved AND that referendums on policy making would give us more power.

What I don't get is how some people just didn't get the "screw the vote - let others decide your future". Some people took offence to the "screw the vote" campaign. Yet it was obvious that it was actually encouraging voting.

What I think was important with this show is the title of the show. "screw the vote" I think will attract youth to watch and give the show a chance. If it said "rock the vote" or "rush the vote" the show would repel youth away cause most youth today are fed up of the do this, you must do this and do that.

The cbcwatch obviously didn't see the show before they put up their analysis of the show up on their poor excuse for a website. They were way off on how they described this show and what it meant. They make it seem like it was a liberal promoting kind of show. Yet in my opinion I find Jian more of a NDP then a Liberal. Even when I watch his show "play" he seems to be a NDP. So how some think that CBC is only to promote liberal is not true.

The cbcwatch people seem to be scared of anything that means more people voting. I think right wing people are afraid of more youth voting. Its obvious the youth are gonna be attracted to left leaning parties. Right wing politicians have no power in a world where youth vote.

reading the cbcwatch.ca site, your analysis is incorrect.

they appear to bee seeking an end to the narrow left opinions that predominate the cbc (apparently ones that you personally promote and agree with). it represents a "diversity" of voices with which you obviously disagree.

"youth" is something you created as an issue. "Its obvious the youth are gonna be attracted to left leaning parties" where do you confirm the obviousness of this?

NDP and left-Liberal are both on the same side of spectrum, both are small 'l' - liberal.

"So how some think that CBC is only to promote liberal is not true."

The average CBC employee is far more likely to vote NDP than the average canadian. You and the facts undermine your own argument.

Anon,

"MAYBE" your right. And I stress "maybe".

It was actually from many new conservative members that I've talked to in a pc youth discussion group who said that the CBC had a liberal slant.

Take Care,

Kevin
