A common refrain was that the CPC only appealed to old people, so they had no future in this country. And yet today the CPC are leading among 18-29 and 30-44 voters.
This isn’t just a Canadian trend. You’re seeing right-wing parties leading with younger voters in many countries across the West. A lot of assumptions about the values and politics of younger demographics are proving unfounded. Young men, in particular, are moving sharply right.
