I’m stuck at the office unfortunately and used up all my sick days!
But, if you have friends in Montreal, do call them up and pass this info along!
In national polls of party preferences, aren’t only those with land lines phoned? The majority of 18 to 24 year-olds use cell phones, so any data
generated by Ipsos Reid, EKOS, Nanos, or other research firms may be less accurate than it seems to indicate.
If the youth vote doubles from 2008, I think it’s likely a Liberal or NDP minority. If the youth vote triples, a Liberal or NDP majority.
If one looks at various vote mob websites, even though they say they are “non-partisan”, you sometimes see links to articles critical of the
Conservatives, but rarely, if ever, a link to any article critical of the Liberals, NDP or Greens.
And if you research the backgrounds of those organizing vote mobs, many have been actively involved in issues associated with the progressive side
of the political spectrum.
There is speculation as to what percentage of those participating in vote mobs will actually vote, but the youth vote has been vastly underestimated
by the pundits and the pollsters.
The youth vote may in fact be the “sleeper” component of this election.

More than 2.1 million 18- to 24-year-olds are unhappy. Harper has been throwing us out of election campaign rallies and trying to get Elections Canada to quash our votes. He’s avoiding us and hoping we’ll stay away from the ballot box. We’re finally paying attention, and that damages his lustful campaign for lordship over our country.
