Canada’s 2025 election is being shaped by a deep generational divide.
Boomers are backing Liberal leader Mark Carney for his steady hand, while Gen Z and Millennials are leaning
toward Conservative Pierre Poilievre, drawn to his authenticity and focus on affordability.
Gen X, meanwhile, is demanding results and could swing the outcome.
Despite strong support in the West, Poilievre’s Conservatives are struggling to win over urban and centrist voters.
Critics say his campaign misfired by focusing too much on the hard-right, scaring off moderates.
One strategist called it 'malpractice at the highest level.' Mark Carney is promising $130 billion in new spending
with no timeline to balance the budget.
He’s betting on economic growth and standing up to Trump with retaliatory tariffs.
Critics warn of inflation, but Carney says, 'In a crisis, government needs to step up.' Poilievre’s past ties
to Rebel News founder Ezra Levant resurfaced during the final debate, sparking controversy.
Levant once mentored Poilievre, and their connection raised eyebrows as Rebel News dominated post-debate coverage, leading to cancelled
press scrums.
Carney’s confidence in Canada’s unity and culture is resonating.
Unlike Trudeau, who once said Canada had 'no core identity,' Carney embraces a progressive nationalism.
His global experience may be helping him connect with voters seeking stability in uncertain times.
