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.
Yes. I have nothing to back it up but a gut feeling, but it strikes me as something heavily influenced by media south of the border would say. You know, someone who operates under the impression Canada has a two-party system following something other than the Westminster Parliamentary system.
Not what I’d expect from The Tyee.
