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.

    They’ll do it because they themselves want kids. I think most women do given their needs are met beforehand, kids are great.

    Trying to cover over the miserable job the so called progressives have done by pretending he’s alluding to a broodmare is disingenuous, these people would have loved having kids if housing wasn’t over 10x income. Its an travesty what this government has done on housing and immigration.
