      It seems to depend on the group. My kids are all able to vote now, and they are fervently convincing their friends to vote. Just through the three of them they got 12 other votes. So I think the doomerism mindset can be assuaged slightly by pointing out just how many Conservative boomers are gone.

      And lord help the Cons if they win the next election. Life is about to get very rough for everyone, and frankly a kick of Poilievre-led Cons will motivate Gen Z to vote pretty quickly, I think.

        Many of us also see the things happening to the south of the border and are very FOR voting.

        I don’t care if I have to walk across town next time. I’m there.

          Yeah I understand that traditionally, the young haven’t voted. There’s a massive push in Gen Z, that I’ve at least seen anecdotally, to vote, and vote very Left. I think they’ve seen end stage Capitalism and are ready to leave it.
