“Voting won’t elect a savior, it won’t solve all our problems, but voting will give us a chance to do something about climate change, systemic racism, healthcare, and education,” he said, via Entertainment Tonight Canada. “Voting will give us a chance to make sure that our politics isn’t as ҒUCҜed up as it is right now, and that we’re not all at each other’s throats like we are right now.”
He pointed out the importance of young people voting, an age group that in the past has had low voter turnout. “If you don’t vote, a bunch of other people who you don’t know will get to make hugely consequential decisions that will affect your life in serious ways,” he said. “And those people will probably be older, and whiter, and richer. They’re going to show up, no matter what, and so should you because you deserve to have a say in your own future. We actually have a lot of power, and if we actually use it by voting, starting with voting, we can completely transform politics, we can completely transform the country. So, young people just have to actually use the power that they already have.”
