CBC headline.


Young Canadians launch court challenge to lower federal voting age from 18


I know people that are in their 50s that shouldn't be allowed to vote. Because their parents are still writing the cheques for them.

This is just phucking stupid.

And a waste of court time.

And this is marketing , why, because I don't want 13 year olds affecting my family's livelihood . Greta did enough damage.

If you can legally drive you can vote will be the next thing. Kids now a days can hardly make their minds up on anything. They can’t even wear the same colored socks to school.

Exactly what the liberals are hoping for.

Scariest thing is some of these kids will be running the country someday. 😟

Might work in favour of some. Some of staunchest most vocal conservatives I know are teenagers repeating their parents. Could help boost the numbers if liberal kids aren’t so rabid.

Personally think it’s a dumb idea though. The handful of teenagers I’ve ever met with a firm grasp of politics and actual ability to make an informed choice is minute. Let them deal with the issues they can’t avoid, like hormones and high school.

I'll bet no one has ever said that ever before throughout history.

I wouldnt be worried about the kids. There are plenty of socialist seniors voting too. Govt pensions have a way of turning older folks that way too.

Just open a pot store near every polling station and you will solve that problem.

Yes, after posting that, I realized that our current crime minister comes from my generation, so whoever predicted dire consequences of my generation taking over the reigns was correct.

Can someone explain the term Socialist for me.

While I see alot of people that think they are capitalists, for some reason their funding comes from the government.

Air Canada.
Bell.
Telus.
PIC companies that get funding
Steel Companies

Auto companies

All funding that gets distributed to shareholders through dividends. Even a conservative MP made mention of Telus dividend and government support in the house .

Etc etc etc.
