**In Brief:**
* While the Liberals maintain their lead over the Tories, it’s the boomers who are keeping Prime Minister Mark Carney in the top spot.
* According to Liaison’s David Valentin, Carney can thank older Canadians for his high approval ratings as Canada’s demographic divide continues to widen. “While the Conservatives are essentially tied with the Liberals among voters under 35, the Liberals have built a massive advantage with voters over the age of 50,” he said.
* Support for the Liberals is strongest in in the 50-64 year old age group at 48%, with 41% of Carney supporters aged 65 or over, 40% for those 35 to 49, and 36% among 18-34 year olds.
* That younger age group is also the source of the strongest support for the Tories, at 34%.
* Liaison Strategies’ weekly federal tracker poll has the Carney Liberals maintaining their 14-point lead over the Pierre Poilievre Conservatives. If an election were held today, 41% of respondents said they’d vote Liberal, compared to 27% for the Conservatives.
Liberal voters tend to only care that their side „wins“ rather than anything to do with policy. Carney has tossed most of trudeaus legislation and aligned himself with conservative policies and they cheer him on for it.
I am a 45 year old woman and am for Carney.
the boomers continue to screw over younger generations. no surprise there
I am 17 year old and I am for the NDP.
edit: I didn’t even express a specific viewpoint, and I’m getting downvoted….

Conservatives probably have the most support from landlords because they are almost half landlords.
My boomer parents absolutely love him. All their friends feel the same way.
He definitely appeals to them
Anything better than Pierre
The grand old liberal party
> strongest support in the 50-64 age group
Uhh… those aren’t boomers.
Morons only supporting this clown
And they’re the ones that go out and vote
From my experience ages 28-40 love him too
>“**While the Conservatives are essentially tied with the Liberals among voters under 35**, the Liberals have built a massive advantage with voters over the age of 50,” he said.
So it’s dismissive to say the LPC only get support from older Canadians
The economy isn’t doing as well for younger generations, especially young men. It is very easy for them to blame the establishment and/or the left for their problems. Far right propagandists along with social media algorithms often fill young men with ‘alternative facts.’
I have a friend who’s roommate is a young maple maga man. I hate talking to him because most of what he believes is factually untrue or greatly exaggerated. I had to explain to him that Mark Carney was Canadian and grew up in the same city he did. It turns out the guy doesn’t want facts, he just wants someone to blame.
Of course they are. For anyone wondering why, household income to housing prices was a 1 to 2 ratio in the 80s and 90s when older Canadians purchased; and now it’s 1 to 8 or more when older Canadians want to sell to younger Canadians.
Those boomers who are retired and own their homes with no expenses LOVE mark!
I trust Carney, even if I don’t align with him on everything. I do not trust Pierre at all. But I’m also not aligned with any political party 🤷♂️
If the Conservatives weren’t acting like the petulant Republicans down South, maybe they’d get mo’ bitches on they deyuck. I’m currently flooded with posts from Conservative MPs that care more about stoking division than building Canada, it’s repulsive.
I’ve spoken to many millennials and Z’ers and they seem to lack the big picture perspective. They take in a lot of piecemeal information but haven’t developed the frame of reference of a Generation X or baby-boomer.
Makes sense. He comes across as a steady hand in unstable times and that will appeal to an older demographic.
Makes sense. Most of the people voting for him dont have to deal with the consequences of his policies.
I mean he is doing what they want. Keeping house prices high and trying to move away from the US with trade. Too bad Boomers and the like don’t see the loing threat that an unemployed and ignored young population can be.
Banker appeals to people with money. Where’s the news?

What’s really interesting is that if you look at approval rating in recent polls, every age group seems to like Carney about equally. But the older Canadians get, the lower Poilievre’s approval rating gets. And that translates into fewer fence sitters and more Liberal votes in those age brackets.
He’s breath of fresh air after the last moron ruined the country. I wish him luck. He will be judged by whether or not he gets the finances under control and reverses our current trajectory of unaffordability, homelessness, substance abuse problems, and young people and businesses fleeing Canada
Of what relevance is it that Carney is popular with older people? Does having older supporters make a politician’s policies and politics any more or less effective. Trump’s supporters are in much the same age range and the unconditional support they provide that dumpster fire of poor governance is remarkable.
Idk I’ve heard he’s popping up in epstein files
I’m not sure what anyone would see in the conservative party at this point. They can’t even seem to get their heads out of their own asses at this point.
I think he’s an 8.5 out of 10, but in-between:
-being such a well supported politician (basically a majority),
-having such high accreditations,
-the need for him to meet the moment.
…anything less than a 10/10 feels like a lost opportunity. We need a WLMK or FDR level statesman right now not a Pearson or Chretien.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
The older and younger generations have completely different values. The liberals have essentially been the regime steering the ship for close to a decade, while the quality of life for younger generations has decreased across the board. They still have no solid plans or have made any advancements in improving life for younger generations.
Trump is the big bad, letting the liberals keep their 1-2 percentage advantage in younger generations. Once he is out of the office. The Liberals will be left with no scapegoat to pin their failures as a party on. It remains to be seen if many of the younger voters will ever trust the liberals again unless they, as a party, do something.
If Europe and the USA have given us any lessons to learn, it’s that the post-WW2 political landscape means nothing in the eyes of those looking for a future. It doesn’t matter whose in charge, or how radical they are, many young people are simply looking for what they were promised.
It’s because he represents old politics, again.
I dream of a truly progressive candidate in my lifetime but I have little faith I’ll see it.
I mean right now we just want a professional
And our choices were a clueless trust fund kid and a guy who lives on twitter
Wow a likeable centrist banker beats an unlikeable shit-posting incel?
I mean there the only ones he is helping so of course.
my husband is boomer, i’m gen x have 2 gen z children. we all love him
We’ve lived through many PMs to know when we have a PM with more talent than the others in the past 50 years. Jean Chrétien came close, too.
Carney is a rare bird indeed. I don’t know where we’d be if he weren’t elected. We also never thought we’d be subjected to a moronic US president either.
They are going to be disappointed when no one is left to care for them in their twilight years.
Sure, their homes have doubled in value the last 10 years. „I got mine, sucks to be you.“
That’s not surprising at all. For Canadians over 50, life is good and the Liberals are doing everything they can to make sure older Canadians maintain their high standard of living. For Canadians under 35, quality of life and opportunities have degraded significantly and the Liberals are doing absolutely nothing to rectify that. Carney is just another continuation of that trend.
the older you are, the less your vote should count. You’re not going to be around much longer anyways.
