Canada’s recent federal election suggests a growing gender divide in political preferences.
Polling indicated women voters leaned strongly toward the Liberals, while an increasing number of men — particularly younger men — gravitated toward the Conservatives.
This polarization was not simply a matter of partisan preference but reflected deeper social, cultural and economic realignments rooted in identity politics and diverging values.
The gender gap also mirrors patterns across western democracies, where far-right populist parties increasingly draw male support through nationalist, anti-immigration and anti-feminist narratives, while women — especially racialized and university-educated — opt for progressive parties promoting equality and social protection.
What you say is absolutely accurate, Carney’s name never showed up on any ballot outside of his pwn riding. But they DID vote for representatives who agreed to generally abide by the Liberal platform. So indeed the heading should be ‘Liberal’ not ‘Carney’.
But then again, a lot of Canadians actually voted AGAINST PP to prevent him from becoming PM. Even turfed him out of his own riding. Now THAT is personal.
