That is the point I was trying to make. If someone wants to exercise their right to vote, they should also realize that they have an obligation to learn how the system works and what their vote actually means and the implications it has. Saying that they were ignorant when they voted is no different than people who plead ignorance after they break the law. It's not a defense.
Maybe it's a failing in our education system... Do high schools still teach Canadian history and civics?
