Why Are Young Men Shifting Right? A Trend I’ve Been Tracking for a While

On Wednesday, I appeared in a segment on CBC’s The National about a trend I’ve been tracking closely for the past year: the noticeable shift of young Canadian men toward conservative politics. The piece, titled “They’re young, male and swinging conservative,” dives into the changing political preferences among young men and explores what’s driving them.

During the interview, I shared recent Abacus Data polling showing how young men—especially those under 35—are increasingly skeptical of progressive politics and more open to the messages coming from Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party. Economic anxiety, frustration with housing affordability, and a feeling that progressive discourse doesn’t include or even welcomes them—these are recurring themes in our data.

Young people in general do not turn out to vote maybe this time will be different but I would not hold my breath.

There is no question that the Liberal party through mass immigration and pernicious economic policy have destroyed any hope for a generation of Canadians.

Mark Carney has worse in store.
