Shows how bad JT is; young people just can't respect him as a leadership figure.
If you're young (or even older) and what you're seeing as you enter the workforce is minimal well paying jobs, sky high rent, high food prices, high interest rates and little pathway to home ownership, you're not going to be happy with how things are being run. The time of feel good socially oriented political campaigns is done, its going to be primarily about economics now. At the end of the day everyone wants a chance to build a decent quality of life, and Trudeau's government hasn't developed an environment that enables that.

Now, it's not like I think a Pollievre government is going to magically fix all of that stuff, but he's hitting all the right notes with what people are experiencing while Trudeau seems tone deaf.
