   Comedian Rick Mercer blasts Conservatives over meme appearing to claim his   
   support   
      
   The social media war of words is heating up in Canada’s federal election,   
   and Tuesday saw a well-known comedian take issue with a misleading meme posted   
   by a federal party.   
      
   The incident saw CBC personality Rick Mercer take aim at a Facebook post by   
   the Burnaby North Seymour Conservative Riding Association.   
      
   The post in question saw an old quote by Mercer, which encouraged young people   
   to vote, misleadingly added to an image along with the message “Vote   
   Conservative.”   
      
   “If you’re between the age of 18 and 25 and you want to scare the hell out   
   of the people that run this country, this time around do the unexpected. Take   
   20 minutes out of your day and do what young people all around the world are   
   dying to do,”    
   reads the quote.   
      
   The quote is real, but was actually part of a non-partisan “rant” by   
   Mercer ahead of the 2011 election. It had previously been turned into a meme   
   and widely circulated in almost the exact same form, except it closed with   
   “vote,” rather than “   
   Vote Conservative.”
