He has managed to make himself a champion of young Canadians

Only "young" Canadians care about affordable housing, affordable groceries, good-paying sustainable jobs, improved healthcare, and better electoral representation?

Or are millenials in their 40s still "young" Canadians?

I am in my 40s and all gen z's and gen Alpha's concerns are also my concerns. Housing, jobs, rent, healthcare, everything. I am living in a very precarious situation with my job and apartment.

Poor people 40 and up tend to vote more Conservative. They strike the same angry tone without any of the complicated or uncomfortable stuff.

Actually, poor young people are to the right of affluent young people, as well.
