Electoral District (2011):
@B3ZV6FK4wks4W
No, it should be raised to 21 for federal elections, and stay at 18 for local and provincial elections.
@B2SX7XJ2mos2MO
any Canadian citizen who is able to enter a legal contract should be REQUIRED to vote in all municipal, provincial and national elections.
@9P7RNZH10mos10MO
The new/younger generations have immature and underdeveloped ideas which they try to push on us. Ex, Gender laws, no abortion, gun laws ect...
Yes, for people younger than 18, only those who pass a test demonstrating their understanding of politics should be allowed to vote.
@9LP28BL12mos12MO
If kids can’t figure out there gender, biology, common sense, they shouldn’t have the power to affect our country’s laws
@9GNB6WC1yr1Y
yes, there should be a test to make sure that the people who are voting know a little bit about politics before they vote though.
@9ZDNVZN5mos5MO
16 should be the youngest age. If they start voting before leaving home, they may continue after they leave home. I so badly wanted to vote at age 16.
@935T7R93yrs3Y
Regardless, there needs to be comprehensive education on politics for voting to make a real difference.
@8WP72GZ3yrs3Y
No, because let's say a 15 year old voted they don't have a drivers licence ...there not as capable as a 18 year old so no I don't agree.
@8WHZXD6Conservative4yrs4Y
It should not because younger people may not know what they are doing
@8W6Q9G94yrs4Y
No lol, children are stupid anyway, and I'm with them lol.
@8VZG79N4yrs4Y
No, it should be raised to 30 years old and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote.
I believed that the voting age should be raised by a few more years
@8VCLRBH4yrs4Y
It should not even be under the age of adolescent because young people have no idea if what they're voting for and parents can use that. They need to have a real job and no what life's about first
No, but voters should be informed accurately about the candidates and what policies they believe in.
@8V59VL54yrs4Y
yes however they still should have limits (ex. teens 14-17 can vote on individual smaller issues but not for federal elections, so more on municipal and occasionally provincial)
@8TZSPC94yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16 in order to encourage youth participation in politics.
@8TX5K2WNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, if the can pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
@8TN4GLW4yrs4Y
No, it should be kept as it is
@8S93XWF4yrs4Y
No, but the educational system should require implementing courses on politics to inform future voters
@8S5D7LR4yrs4Y
Replace minimum wage with universal basic income
@8RC2PHYNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes bit more politics should be taught in school
No, and I believe there should be a voter age cap for those older then the the average life expectancy.
@8NW3M9S4yrs4Y
I am able to decide by myself, so why should I vote for someone who would decide for me?
@8DG6C635yrs5Y
Yes, but meanwhile, the students should be taught about political and economical issues in the high schools.
@8D76LYV5yrs5Y
Yes but voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and must pay taxes.
we should have people pass a a basic test showing they are mentally stable and they should have the right when they are self sustainable.
@8CDXKM85yrs5Y
No, voters should only be allowed to vote once considered an adult of the legal drinking age.
@9CLLGSR2yrs2Y
No, but let teens have an opportunity to express their position.
@97VST8Y2yrs2Y
Yes if the person proves a good understanding of politics
@GinGy3yrs3Y
it should be lowered to 16 but voters under 21 should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
@8K5Q6TH4yrs4Y
Yes, if the education provides more politics classes, to inform us better.
