Essentially, Conservatives were seeing what topics were hot with that crowd, and campaigning on them… all while having no workable plan to actually address the issues they were railing on the Liberals for doing so poorly with.
So anyone experienced with politics saw it as a smokescreen, but the younger crowd fell for it because it resonated and they could see the actual harm that had been done to them by the Liberals.
To this group I say:
Don’t fall for fascism; it doesn’t work. Why not give the NDP a try? They have actual, workable solutions to the problems you face.
Because the people they listen to tell them that if they lean left they are "gay" or "beta" or whatever other bullshit ego-destroying insults they project onto these young minds.
If young voters are worried about jobs, housing, healthcare, education, or crime, they need to stop "flocking" to Conservatives, and learn about how their provincial and municipal governments work.
And when they realize that Conservative leaders at the provincial and municipal levels of government are the ones directly affecting their lives, perhaps they will have an "ah ha" moment and vote for anyone but the Conservatives in the next election.
Was just talking to a friend and and mentioned similar.
Most people simply don't underground the separation of powers and responsibilities between federal and provincial govs, let alone how each function or even the difference between an MP and an MPP/MLA etc.
Sad state of affairs.
