Introduction (to the Election Kit)
What do you care about? Is it climate change? Peace? Refugee rights? Regardless of which issues matter
most in your life, the 2015 elections will have an enormous impact on them. Now more than ever, all faith
voices need to be heard in the political process. It is our right and duty to participate in forming a
government that reflects the will of its people.
Your vote will make a difference. Matters such as Aboriginal rights, health care, and poverty are concerns
for every community in our country. The more we know about how our faith and values can influence
government policies, the better chance we will have to transform our own and others’ lives for the
common good. We witness to our faith in a just and life-giving God in the public arena by advocating for
justice and peace. This is our faith and our vote.
