So the Conservatives have blundered a lot when it comes to trying to get the votes of University students. Stephen Harper’s statement that students don’t vote raised some ire and has resulted in marches like the one we had in Guelph recently, where students dressed up with giant signs stating, “WE WILL VOTE!” Several times in the past few weeks students have been kicked out of Tory rallies for no good reason (i.e. one had a Facebook picture where they were standing beside Ignatieff, one had NDP stickers on their car, one was dressed in Canadian colours and assumed to be a Liberal protester…).
So here is some laughter-inducing literature for those of you who read my blog. This is the Conservatives’ idea of reaching out to younger voters…and utterly failing at it.
I really want to know when politics in general were “cool”. Necessary? Yes. Hip and cool? No.
