I'm Gavin Jag. I'm from Saint Boniface in Winnipeg.
I would like to see a change. For my generation—I'm 39 years old—a lot of my friends don't even go out and vote anymore, because we find our vote is not really counting. We're making a statement of who we want, but we're not seeing representation in the Canadian government. It would be nice if there were some system of proportional voting so that when I vote for the Green Party or for another little guy, we would at least have some representation, somebody who will listen to us.
For the people who say it's not broke, well, that's because the people they want are in power. No kidding it's not broke—for them. It's broke for me and it's broke for my generation. We're not even going out to vote. What's the point if I go out and vote and there's no one to hear me?
So it would be really cool, and more of the younger people would go out, if they were heard. Then they'd have someone they could talk to.
Thank you.
