Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION

Will you vote?

This isn't civics class and no one can see your hand go up. But I really want to know if you're planinng to vote October 14.If not, why not? If you are, have you already made up your mind? Is there anything that can sway you?Over the past few weeks, there have been gaffes (and apologies) galore. Would the forced resignation of Lesley Hughes sour you on the Liberal party? Does a stupid listeriosis comment render someone unfit to serve?In this age of Google, why would anyone take the risk of running at all?In tomorrow's column, you'll read about the sinking interest in voting in the 18-25 age group. I've got two kids in that cohort, including one who turned 18 yesterday. Is the youngest going to vote? Well, yeah, if I drive her there. Is she aware of any of the parties' positions? I doubt it. One person, one vote. I think it's your duty and your privilege to vote.What do you think?
