It’s election time in Ontario and for the first time in fifteen years, we will have a new party in power.

However, much like other elections around the world in recent history, many people are torn about who to vote for this time around. They want to vote, but they don’t like any of the candidates.

This is a double edged sword.

It’s not moving any of the previous non-voters to take action and exercise their right to vote and it’s forcing undecided voters to carefully look into the platforms and promises of each party.

Unfortunately, the promises made to the citizens are immediately disenfranchised by endless attack campaigns and reminders of previous promises unkept. It’s a subtle way to push undecided voters into the non-voter category as dedicated voters will always be at the polls casting their ballot.

At the end of the day, the right to vote was hard earned to give us an opportunity to say,

“I voted for this change,” or “I voted against this change.”

One stroke of the pen can make a compelling difference.
