Our Vision. Our Mission. Our Strength.

We know that the country is headed in the wrong direction. We know that we must change that direction by removing Stephen Harper and his conservative government from power. We know that we can do this because we are the majority. And we have a vision. A powerful idea based upon a simple premise.

Young people generally don't vote. If they did, they generally wouldn't vote conservative. If we can motivate them to come to the polls, we will no longer have a conservative government.

Voting is not generally seen as fun, or cool, but we can change that! If casting a vote was seen as the centre of a mass movement, as the centre of a viral social-media campaign....if voting was seen as an act that makes one feel that they belong to a greater community, a part of a movement that transcends politics as usual....well, just imagine how motivated people would be to come to the polls. We would see a renewal of democracy in this country.

If we choose to, we can change the direction of our country, we can steer it toward a better future. It really is up to us. In fact, we are the only ones who can make it happen!  But it won't happen without a little work. Not that beavers have ever been afraid of a little work.

People are turned off by politics as usual. We must change the game. To do so, we must keep positive and non-partisan. Not a lecture, but a call to empowerment. Voting will not be a cynical chore, but a joyful expression of our nation's spirit. A movement based not upon anger, but upon love of this country. We have wrapped ourselves in the symbols of Canadiana. Let's use these powerful symbols to get our message out.

The Beaver Revolution will motivate millions of young people to vote. The Beaver Revolution will defeat Stephen Harper. We welcome all who will join us. We await their energy, their creativity, their spirit.

Imagine how it's going to feel, on election day, knowing that you were part of the movement that changed the country.

The Beaver Revolution is underway. Get the word out!
