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. Or you know, you could recognize that different people have different reasons for voting. Agree on your point about the NDP tho, that they’re not making hay in the current socioeconomic context is pretty damning on party leadership.

      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.

      Well, or strategically voting.

      I’m just thankful that strategic voting allows me a party closer to my ideals in an ABC scenario.
