    A very important thing to remember this election: The Conservatives had a 30-point lead and were set to gain over 200 seats in a sweeping majority victory and they blew it. They blew it and their leader lost his own seat. The fact we even have a Liberal minority at all is incredible.

    So while the Conservative party still has a lot of seats, enough Canadians disliked PP and his campaign enough to erode a 30 point lead. PP says he is staying on as party leader but his party would be incredibly foolish to keep him. His campaign cost them a historical election victory and the dude can’t even get elected in his own riding.










  • Firstly - They probably grew up or came into voting age under a Trudeau government. They don’t know what it’s like to live under an awful Conservative government. They also blame the federal government for things outside of its control.

    Secondly - Younger people are superglued to social media which is a completely unchecked and unregulated IV-shot of manipulation and disinformation.

    Thirdly - Political education is extremely poor. People simply do not understand how government works at any level and they don’t care to know. BC’s last provincial election saw a sizeable amount of people vote for the BCCons party because they wanted to get rid of Trudeau… in a provincial election. People blame governments for things they cannot control and demand governments to fix things that they cannot.

    Fourthly - Right wing groups are intentionally targeting disenfranchised youth, particularly young men. To say we are going to deal with a new generation of ultra-toxic masculinity is an understatement, but that mentality usually leans right.

    The Liberal government has now been around long enough that there is an entire generation that came into voting age under them. They don’t know what it’s like to live under Conservatives like Harper.

    Just like the GOP voters in the US - Many just wanted a change to the status quo and were highly ignorant about what they were voting for and the damage that was coming. A growing demographic that votes GOP are young people that probably weren’t even born back during the Bush eras and have no idea what a horror show they were.
