Before the elections, my high school students did their own federal elections (since none of them were old to vote yet!). The results were quite surprising! Most students are from a multi-cultural background; English being their third language. Their results were somewhat similar to the results in Quebec; the NDP being their only alternative.
Whatever the outcome (in the long term), Canadians have the opportunity to take a stand and cast their vote without intimidation or fear. It is all part of what we sometimes take for granted; democracy.
