Millennials nearly twice as likely to vote for Conservatives over Liberals, new survey suggests

If only Gen Z and Millennials voted today, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals would fall to third-party status, a new Abacus Data survey found.

Canadian millennials are nearly twice as likely to vote for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s governing Liberals, according to new polling from Abacus Data.

The new survey of more than 2,000 adults, published last Thursday, also suggests the Liberals would fall to third-party status if an election was held today among Canada’s two youngest generation of voters.

The Tories are polling at 40 per cent among Canadian millennials, ahead of the NDP at 24 per cent and the Liberals at 21 per cent. Among the younger Gen Z cohort, the Conservatives also hold a strong lead at 32 per cent, six percentage points up over the NDP and eight percentage points ahead of the Liberals.

Poilievre and Singh more trusted on housing as Liberal minister promises new policy this fall

War Housing Ajax

After a summer spent refocusing his government on the issue of housing affordability, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are still less trusted on the file than the Conservatives and the New Democrats, exclusive new polling numbers indicate.

According to a survey conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News Channel’s Power Play with Vassy Kapelos, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and Jagmeet Singh’s NDP are the most trusted federal parties when it comes to addressing skyrocketing housing costs.

Up to one in 15 motorists – some two million – could be doctoring their number plates to avoid being caught by cameras enforcing Ulez zones and speed limits, a police investigation has suggested.

Government advisers have warned that controls on the sale of fake plates are so lax that the number of motorists seeking to evade detection is expected to rocket following the expansion of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras to police new Ulez areas and 20mph speed limits.

Has the face he deserves.

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt bristled Wednesday on CNBC when asked whether he was shaking down Twitter for donations.

There Is No Secret, Better, Energetic Biden Behind the Scenes

I don’t want to pooh-pooh Franklin Foer’s new book, The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future, until I’ve read it. But let’s just say I’m not surprised that books about Joe Biden aren’t selling well. Biden has been a well-known figure on the political scene since the 1980s. Never mind his nearly four decades in the Senate; a child born when Barack Obama picked Biden to be his running mate in 2008 is now old enough to be on the verge of getting his learner’s permit in most states.
