The breakdown by age group is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what I expected to see… makes no sense! Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…
Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…
Blaming everything on “teh boomers” has always been a lazy and inaccurate meme.
Especially when Young Conservatives (and Young Republicans) has been an active organization.
If you follow worldwide trends, this actually matches anyways. It’s the youths that are voting far right the most, to the point that the occasional neo-nazi groups are almost entirely supported purely by the local youths.
BTW, I’m not blaming them for being frustrated and going to the extremes. These last two decades have been bad, and there’s little hope of it getting much better for the next decade either. Especially with how vocal the left has been lately, it’s no surprise that the youth that wants change would vote the exact opposite of those that have been yelling in their ears all their lives.
GenZ voting right is entirely the fault of the left. There hasn’t been a major rational voice in the left for so long, that the unheard right now sounds attractive for no more than being different.
Housing, housing, housing FUCKING HOUSING.
This. A thousand times this.
The same implosion in young, urban support happened in the US for the Democrats, and for the same reason: millenials and zoomers are tired of being sucked dry for the comfort of Boomer and elder-X’ers housing-based retirement fund.
Want to fix this? Forgive student debt and actually put shovels in the ground for housing (not “accelerator funds”, not tax breaks, not low-interest loans to developers: fucking buy equipment, pay people, and build shit)
Want to fix this? Forgive student debt
Agreed, but let’s not forget which party (in the US) was trying to do that, and which one was actively blocking it.
And which Canadian party would be more likely to do it here. (Hint: it ain’t the conservatives)
It makes perfect sense if you’ve spent any time examining what’s being fed to people on YouTube and TikTok
I’m a millennial trans woman who sometimes fucks cishet Gen Z men I feel that’s pretty much spot on in my observation
There’s basically two generations of Gen Z: those who were adults pre-pandemic and take after millennials & those who were not.
The ones who came of age in the pandemic have a lot more hangups about social interaction, have consumed a lot more misinformation, and generally have baggage about being criticized for their (admittedly shitty and ignorant) views they’ve clearly been fed by the algorithm and their friends
These guys ARE NOT bad people but they caught serious brain rot during the pandemic and it’s gonna take time/empathy for them to fully recover. It does not help that there’s a certain type of moral superiority to millennial activism that they clearly are reacting to
I’m afraid to see what will happen between USA and Canada if PP Millhouse gets in.
Well the nargin of error is 2.8% and con and lib have a 6% diff so not all hope is lost.
If you wanna continue to fight against him you should share the video he did with jordan peterson.

Cbc also have a nice piece about it.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-jordan-peterson-interview-1.7423197
Basically He’s a racist, He want to put more people in jail, Does his demagogue job by calling liberal socialist, woke… Plan to sell land dirt cheap(to whom?) Won’t bend to central or leftist demand Want immigrated people to leave “their baggage behind” Slash liberal reform ( instead of going foward we’ll do likr the is been doing the last 8yrs)
His core team is andrew sheer, a woman calling on canada to pull out of the UN, a radio host pen pal with vice pres i fuck the couch vance, and another lass from toronto.
And lastly he thank jordan peterson for his fight agaisnt oppression, whom iirc was banned fron psychology in canada bc he’s was an asshole, and the cherry on top is muskrat praising the interview
The whole thing is a joke and every canadian should know about it.
I forgot the most important part https://x.com/theJagmeetSingh/status/1875282427503112596
Can you post a screenshot or something?
I can’t see anything on twitX without an account, and I refuse to give Muskrat a single click.
Sorry about the late response. It’s a semi old post of jagmeet calling out the cons stance on abortion.
Thank you.
I think they actually changed the account requirement. Now you can view posts without an account again, you just cant see any of the replies. I dont have an account and it loaded fine.
We’ll be one step closer to being the 51st state.
It’s clear that PP is starting to go down the drain I think given all this recent polling. Idk wtf is going on with the NDP
The NDP keeps making the same mistake: they try to be “serious” and “centrist” and get flanked by the Liberals every fucking time because, if you want a socially liberal but economically centrist party, the Liberals already fucking exist.
The NDP has been ducking the “socialist” label since Ontario’s Rae government fell because they’re big scared of being called socialists. Which is hysterical because the conservatives will call anyone left Mussolini “socialist!” because, in right-wing circles, words don’t have meaning.
They’re refusing to fight the class war, and as a result they’ve ceded the working class to the fucking Conservatives. Which is insane.
Charlie Angus is about the only NDP member making a lot of noise about this, and he’s retiring. The NDP should be a populist party, but they’re afraid to be
I mean the other half of this is that working class people could take over the NDP leadership if there were more momentum but instead it’s just kind of withering with people buying into far right bs
They shot themselves in the foot by trying to topple the government early and now by telling everyone that Trump’s coming for our health care.
They can’t read the room worth a damn, and have lost all ability to tap into what people are feeling. So, they’re collapsing
They’ve been trying to win their way and it hasn’t worked, so now they’re trying PP/CPC’s tactics of light populism to see if it’ll work.
I don’t agree with it, but I hope it works.
But PP was winning the polls 27 years ago!!!
Welcome to Canadian politics.
