These young Canadians want their peers to get out and vote

Economic Concerns Driving Voter Preferences

Economic issues are at the forefront of young voters' concerns during the election, particularly among Gen Z, who have witnessed a stark difference in financial stability compared to their parents' generation. Many young Canadians grapple with the realities of high education costs, rising housing prices, and underemployment, which are motivating them to lean towards conservative policies that promise economic reform. For example, one young voter noted that they are drawn to the Conservative Party due to the perception of a better economic future under that leadership, showcasing the urgent need for change as they face significant financial challenges. This economic insecurity is influencing not just individual decisions but the overall political leanings of the younger demographic.
