The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.

Anyone saying they’d vote Liberal instead of any other parry likely isn’t a renter.

I rent. I vote Liberal. I'll do it again.

The rules are simple:

  1. pick a party with a plan (a) that benefits canadians (b) that they can implement ( c) and with enough popularity to win an election (d).
  2. repeat every election.

Except: (a) isn't conservatives' strong point (b) isn't conservatives' strong point ( c) isn't the greens' strong point (d) isn't the oranges' strong point until we have better voting

It was liberal last time. Until the average IQ goes up and people realize the cons are still schlepping some trickle-down scam and stop perpetuating their mess, we won't get a better party into play.

Don't split the vote. Minority Red is better than cruel blues.

I rent, I vote NDP. Singh has a temper but he's a good guy.

I have friends who rent who would "love to vote NDP but they're never going to win so they vote Liberal as to not throw away their vote". Fuck. The system is broken if people need to vote like this.

I can't wait for my generation to be old enough to be elected.
