  • Younger voters that have never had a conservative government federally/Stephen Harper in power since they became eligible to vote? At least that’s the way it sounds since apparently younger generations are voting more for the conservatives, any issues caused by his government aren’t relevant to him/it’s just the way things have always been. Harper has not been relevant since I became old enough to vote.

    There’s also people that don’t really understand what power different levels of government have, and how much a certain level affects their lives. They likely default to thinking the highest level has the most power over what happens to them in their daily lives. Still stupid how many people thought they were voting out Trudeau in BC’s provincial election. I think there was a second province that had the same thing happen during their election too.

    As for older voters, the one I know voting conservative is into conspiracy theories, racist, and very “Americanized” with the media they consume. They are also very short sighted and unable to understand long term consequence, and probably thinks voting a different party into power is a quick fix. Not sure why anyone could see what is happening in America and say they want that here in Canada.

    Not really sure why NDP is never really seen as an option federally, although this year they seem to be more focused on attack ads than pushing their platform which I don’t really like. That could just be me though, and the way I end up getting my information.
