Real Outrage

Old Conservatives are acting outraged by the Young Greens use of a censored f-word.  Well I don't think many young people think the f-word is outrageous here some real reasons why young people are angry:

  1. Our leaders still think donuts are more important than climate talks.
  2. Unemployment among young people is at 30-year highs.
  3. Asthma rates have quadrupled in the last 20 years.
  4. It's embarrassing that our Prime Minister can't even show up to world leader photo ops.
  5. In Ontario alone tuition fees have jumped by over 200% since 1990.
  6. Our tourism minister doesn't know where Georgian bay is.
  7. Our governing party is intentionally making a mockery or our parliamentary system.
  8. No matter who we vote for our government doesn't seem to represent us.
  9. 131 and counting have died in Afghanistan and the conflict is getting worse.
  10. Canada is facing a record deficit that we're going to have to pay off.

    We have reason to be outraged and we are mad.  We're so mad we might even use the f-word.  The conservatives should stop worrying about our language and start worrying about us showing up to the polls.
