VOTE CAN WE AFFORD TO STAY HOME NOVEMBER 8TH? A fact of life, is that we can least afford at this time in Canadian history to meet the upcoming Federal Election with apathy and distrust. We must listen carefully to the candidates, familiarise ourselves with their political platforms and vote on the basis of what we believe to be in the. best interests of Canada. Clergy and doctors attend nurses meeting. VOTE AT 18 - by Ted Petrus Should people having the full age of eighteen years be allowed to vo vote? This was the controversial topic which split Grade I0A's opin- ions and caused a ftared debate. There were many good points made on both sides, however, | shall only mention a few. The predominant point was that should we be called into the armed forces while between the ages of eighteen to twenty-one, we are expected, if need arise, to die for our country, yet we have no in- fluence over the government which makes use of us. Our adversaries suggested that the vote would be abused or dis- regarded. This, our opponents said was evident in the actions of the present day young adult. The reply was that given the voting privileges these people would have respon- sibility and would take an active interest in politics.

It is the duty of each one of us to know and understand the issues, and clearly define any ambiguous promises made in the heat of an election ee with the political candidates representing the riding in which we reside. Regardless of whether or not the thought of another Canadian Election is somewhat provoking to the average Canadian, Canadians everywhere should realize that by failing to exercise the right to cast a ballot at the polls, they are neglecting their duty as responsible citizens. We should not forget the captive and suppressed peoples of other lands, who long ago, lost their right to vote by the means of democratic choice without the fear of reprisal, arrest and sometimes death. We are clearly given a choice here in Canada, if we don't exercise one. of the basic freedoms we now enjoy, it may be too late to do so tomorrow. Protect your right, protect democracy, protect the freedom of future gener- ations of Canadians, on November 8th vote as you like--But VOTE ! -.. VOTE... VOTE... VOTE... VOTE... VOTE... VOTE...
