I’ve poked fun of Judith Timson before: Her views on life are about as out of touch as, well, the rest of Toronto’s elite. Bygones–this piece about voting is a good one. Voting is, however, more than a thrill, rather a true right in democratic countries. (Politics is personal in so many regards: I’m Canadian because my parents were denied this right, among others. I don’t wish communism on anyone–but my family history lends a certain perspective, which puts me squarely in the Take Voting Seriously camp.)
