The media and general public suspect apathy. Young people don't care. We are complacent, and apolitical. This generalization may apply to some young people, but probably not everyone. Youth have made a deliberate choice not to vote.
Resistance is disguised as apathy.
These days, being wrinkle-free is not all it's cracked up to be. Although unemployment rates are declining, still about 343,000 Canadian youth were unemployed last month. But the economy is good these days, so we might be lucky enough to find work that is permanent, full-time and meaningful. Maybe stable, affordable housing, and money for food or transportation. Tax cuts and more tax cuts.
