  • What Is the Purpose of the Student Vote Program? Why Is It Important to Encourage Family Discussion? What Is Student Vote Day?
    Intermediate/Secondary Resource Dear Educator, We would like to thank you for accepting this important responsibility of bringing democracy and citizenship education into your classroom. By introducing your students to the habits of citizenship, you are making an extremely worthwhile contribution to our democracy. Your enthusiasm toward special initiatives such as the Student Vote program provides an example to students (and their families) that caring about their democracy is an important and worthwhile effort. What is the purpose of the Student Vote program? The Student Vote program provides young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand and practice the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. The Student Vote program applies the concept of the ‘teachable moment’ using the official election as a backdrop to the parallel election. By matching real life events with school life, this exercise can motivate your students into becoming informed and active citizens. Our hope is that through your instruction students will enter as citizens into the community with knowledge, understanding and a sense of empowerment. Through the campaign activities and resulting vote, we look forward to inspiring a conversation about civic responsibility in your class and at home. Why is it important to encourage family discussion? Based on feedback from past programs, we know that students are eager to share their knowledge with family and friends, engaging them in conversation about the election. This family exchange allows students to explore different points of view and further develop habits of informed citizenship. Discuss ideas with your students that may encourage ‘democracy at the dinner table’ as take home assignments.

  • The Youth Vote Why Young Voters Can’T Be Ignored
    THE YOUTH VOTE WHY YOUNG VOTERS CAN’T BE IGNORED BRITISH COLUMBIA FEDERATION OF STUDENTS British Columbia Federation of Students The British Columbia Federation of Students represents over 170,000 college and university students from across all regions of the province. The Federation represents full- and part-time students at the college, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Together these students advocate for a well-funded system of post- secondary education in BC that is affordable and accessible for all students.

This turnout is more than an anomaly — it is a part of a larger trend of civic engagement amongst young people that is manifesting in electoral participation. Over the last three British Columbia general elections, for example, the turnout of voters aged 18 to 24 has increased steadily. These trends are mirrored with surging Millennial turnout in the 2018 USA midterm election and in the 2017 United Kingdom national election. The recent spike in young voter turnout will undoubtedly have long term implications.

  • Conflicting Narratives on the 26 May 2016 Toronto Police Raid on Cannabis Shops
    Thaddeus Müller University of Lancaster, UK Cannabis, Moral Entrepreneurship, and Stigma: Conflicting Narratives on the 26 May 2016 Toronto Police Raid on Cannabis Shops DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1733-8077.15.2.10 Abstract On May 26, 2016, the police raided 43 cannabis dispensaries in Toronto, Canada, making 90 arrests. This article aims to describe the narrative of the responsible state agencies concerning the police raid and compare it to the narrative of those who opposed it, such as activists, as well as consumers and sellers of cannabis. While such concepts as moral entrepreneur, moral panic, and moral crusade have traditionally been used to study those in power, I will employ them to explore both the state narrative and ways in which counterclaims-makers resisted it. In order to do so, I will further develop the concept of moral entrepreneurship and its characteristics by relating it to studies of moral panics and social problems. This article will be guided by the following question: How did each party socially construct its cannabis narrative, and in what way can we use the concept of moral entrepreneurship to describe and analyze these narratives as social constructions? I have investigated the media coverage of the raid and ethno- graphically studied shops in Toronto in order to study the narratives. My findings show that both parties used a factual neutral style, as well as a dramatizing style. The later includes such typical crusading strategies as constructing victims and villains and presenting the image of a dystopian social world. In order to explain the use of these strategies, we will relate them to the shifting wider social and historical context and to the symbolic connotation of cannabis shops in Toronto in particular and in Canada as a whole.
