Yeah, I really don't see the point of it. It's too extreme a decision for an important issue.

But Ignatieff may call an election!

As much as I'd like to actually vote, this is ridiculous. We just had one.

But eventually, I do want Dalton Mcguinty gone.

Protests are fun.

Considering people are still pissed from last time, and the fact that, unlike the NDP and the Bloc (For N&B: New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois), the Liberals don't automatically scream "ELECTION! ELECTION!" every time the Conservatives do something they don't like (ie. every decision they make).

Ever considered social work instead of this? I once volunteered for Flood Relief work.

Just saying that Social Workers have more purpose and actually do some good. Whereas Political youth wings are more like... Minions.

Which one?

But doesn't protesting against government inaction also count as social work? Like on the 3rd of December, I went to the Gateway & joined the mass protest against the government for not doing anything to prevent 26/11. The worst Home Minister ever was thrown out because of that. The people there saved a thousand lives.
And when in politics you get a lot more power to change the system than when you are doing social work. The duty of a politician is to do social work (it's another matter that they don't do it).

Bihar. My School organized a camp.

Yes, but imagine that you are part of the youth congress. You can't just start protesting against your own party's minister, can you?

Oh, good point. Plus you have to praise Soniaji & Rahulji in every sentence you make.

I'm pretty non-partisan. My views are such that some can be considered left while others are right.

Also, I went to the pro-coalition rally on Parliament Hill in December (gotta love Ottawa for its politics, if for nothing else) and it was pretty awesome. Though Gilles Duceppe (of the Bloc Quebecois) was actually a better speaker than Dion or Layton.

*cough* Winston Churchill *cough* =P

Though as a comeback:

If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.
