As we have always seen here in the U.S. the universal truth about elections is that people vote their pocketbook.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Elections aren't just about who votes but who doesn't vote.
And in Canada we, you know, it costs us three or $400 million to have an election. You know, it's always been my position that we shouldn't complain about that; that's the price of admission for a living in a great democracy.
Voting is fundamental in our democracy. It has yielded enormous returns.
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
Elections are about choices.
You know, there is a long tradition in the U.S. of, um, promoting elections up to the point that you get an outcome you don't like. Look at Latin America in the Cold War.
When politics is interesting, people go vote.
Every election matters. Anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't understand politics. That said, not every election sends sweeping messages that are easy to discern, but every election provides lessons worth learning.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
The good news is dollars don't vote, people do.
