Canada's 2025 Election: Youthquake, TikTok, and Political Shifts

Canada’s 2025 election is revealing a surprising generational split.

Boomers are leaning Liberal under Mark Carney, while younger voters—especially Gen Z and Millennials—are swinging Conservative, drawn to

Pierre Poilievre’s message on affordability and crime.

B.C.

MLA Claire Rattée says her generation is tired of elitism and wants leaders who are authentic and passionate.

She adds, “We can’t afford the things our parents could, and we want someone who gets that.” Young

men are becoming a powerful force in Canadian conservatism.

Influencers like Adam Beattie, aka Robin Skies, are using TikTok to voice frustration over crime, housing, and cultural

shifts.

Polls show men under 30 are now the most likely group to vote Conservative.

Many are economically progressive but culturally conservative—supporting social programs but opposing 'woke' policies.

As Beattie puts it, 'I want a job, a house, a family, and safety.' With Meta blocking news

on Facebook and Instagram, TikTok has become a key election battleground.

Influencers like Mario Zelaya and Matty DiMillo are racking up millions of views, pushing partisan content that’s shaping

public opinion.

A report found that just 100 accounts generated 75% of political views.

Experts warn that algorithms are creating echo chambers, blurring the line between news and opinion.

With just days to go, the Liberals lead by 4 points.

Mark Carney’s calm leadership and economic credentials are winning over moderates, while Poilievre’s fiery style keeps his base

energized.

Carney is seen as better at handling Trump, the economy, and uniting Canadians.

But debates this week could shift momentum.

Voters are watching closely—especially on issues like housing, healthcare, and U.S.

relations.

As political tensions rise, psychologist Dr.

Brent Macdonald urges Canadians to talk politics with curiosity and respect.

He says avoiding tough conversations only deepens division.

'It’s OK to disagree,' he says, 'as long as we remember the person still loves and respects us.'

With families split across party lines, empathy might be the key to surviving election season.
