Wow this is a bit shocking for us Canadian voters

The Globe and Mail reports that Elections Canada is hiring 13 Social Media influencer's to encourage our youth to get out and vote this October...

I am not so sure about this and it sounds a little heavy handed...

But, one thing is interesting who will our youth gravitate to as far as who they might vote for...Kawhi Leonard isn't on the ballet and I highly doubt that Andrew Scheer is captivating our Millennial's.

Here is more on this story.

The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...

Elections Canada budgeted $650,000 for the videos. Most of that money has been spent already; the agency said it is working to recover some of it.

Of course.

One of the people they recruited for this does Minecraft videos ... Very 2014. 10-year-olds from back then still wouldn't be old enough to vote now.

When mocking the intelligence of millennials, maybe don't add an apostrophe that doesn't need to be there.  Being old doesn't make you smart.

A misspelling of "ballot" was right in-front of you yet an apostrophe had you rushing to the keyboard? Way to walk into that one....

For some reason I can't get the image of Kawhi Leonard in a tutu out of my head.
