Unify Action - Our Government Is Not Fulfilling Its Mandate

00:00:00.000 What do you think is the proper role of government?

00:00:02.920 The proper role of government?

00:00:04.660 I think there's a few key things that the government should do.

00:00:09.040 Some regulations, for example.

00:00:12.320 When we go to the grocery store, we take for granted that we can pick off any food from the shelf

00:00:18.140 and it won't have any diseases, bugs, anything like that.

00:00:21.760 I think that's an important role of the government.

00:00:24.340 Setting up proper infrastructure, so roads, sanitary sewers, stuff like that.

00:00:29.060 Yeah, another thing I would mention about the role of government is that they actually exist more to protect our freedoms too as well.

00:00:37.960 So they should be involved in justice and the safety of the nation and promoting our freedoms and stuff like that.

00:00:46.060 That's a big thing that the government should be doing.

00:00:48.960 But do you think that they are doing that?

00:00:50.920 Well, for one, we can stand here like we're not under attack at the moment.

00:00:56.040 So I know that's something that I can say, like, I am able to stand here today, say what I want to say.

00:01:01.740 So there is a level of that they are definitely succeeding at.

00:01:05.500 Do you think they're protecting our freedoms, though?

00:01:08.160 I think our freedoms are under attack at the moment.

00:01:10.560 Like, definitely free speech is under attack.

00:01:14.760 Can I ask, do you lean more towards a socialist kind of idea?

00:01:18.160 Is bigger government better, or should we have a leaner government that focuses only on what it should?

00:01:23.300 I definitely think we should focus on a leaner government.

00:01:27.260 Smaller government is definitely better.

00:01:29.540 Yeah.

00:01:29.900 Yeah.

00:01:30.740 So in light of that, what should Canadians be doing?

00:01:34.860 What should our message be to the government about voting or something like that?

00:01:38.720 I think we should focus on shrinking the government, making the government more efficient.

00:01:43.960 I like what they're doing in the U.S., shrinking the government, getting rid of all the waste,

00:01:48.540 exposing what kind of waste is out there.

00:01:51.180 Like we spend a lot of money on taxes and we have no idea where that money goes to.

00:01:55.640 There's a lot that, you know, they take 40% of our money.

00:01:58.680 Where does that go?

00:01:59.400 Like we should have some sort of accountability so we know where did that go?

00:02:03.340 What was it spent on?

00:02:04.240 Was it spent wisely?

00:02:05.340 Is that something that we get to see the fruits of, you know, of that money that was spent?

00:02:09.760 There's at this moment in time lots and lots and lots of waste that we have no idea about.

00:02:14.880 So, my message to students here is that we need to get the younger generation more mobilized

00:02:21.880 in voting, like hardly anyone voted in the last election.

00:02:25.220 I'm encouraging students to get out there and vote and spread the message to their friends

00:02:29.640 as well that it's time that the younger generation stepped up and voted.

00:02:34.120 Definitely.
