Don't forget to vote!!

We are so privileged that we can vote, that our voices can be heard. Whether anyone listens is another conversation, but we have the ability to speak up and have a say in the direction and decisions of our government.
I get tired of people saying their vote doesn't really count or that they are not informed enough to vote. Your vote doesn't count only if you don't cast it. Get informed - it isn't actually that hard. Get off facebook for a couple of minutes and read the platforms. Make a decision. I don't care who you vote for, (OK I do care, but I'll be your friend even if you do vote conservative) just as long as you vote.
So many people around the world do not have this privilege and are fighting to get it. People have struggled in history to make sure that we in Canada have this right. There are places around the world where people line up in droves, despite intimidation and threats, to cast their votes. Stop taking it for granted.
Go vote.
