Mandatory voting won't solve anything

I have an op-ed in today's Ottawa Citizen, which looks at the recent discussion on mandatory voting, and as I like to do so often with these kinds of pieces is, I work to debunk some of the arguments being made in support of such a proposal. In particular, the argument is that mandatory voting doesn't actually solve the problems that it proposes to, and I lay out why. It's a pleasure writing for the Citizen once again, and once again the story made it onto National Newswatch, which is always a treat.
