How do we get more people to vote? There are many ways but I would use caution. More people voting does not guarantee a better democracy.

Last month in Toronto over 330,000 people voted for Doug Ford. The media politely calls these people "low information voters." And they are everywhere. I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be allowed to vote but I certainly wouldn't encourage them. After all, we do live in a democracy and they have the same rights as you and I.

Last night my nephew and niece-in-law showed a video called "Ford Nation Folk Speak." Have a look. I would be interested in your opinion.
