Election 2025

Young voters could swing the results in Canada’s upcoming election if they go to the polls, but that’s something the demographic doesn’t traditionally do as much as their older counterparts.

Data from Elections Canada shows that during the 2021 general election, 46.7 per cent of electors aged 18 to 24 cast a ballot. That’s lower than any other age group.

Those numbers have been declining in the last few elections. Turnout among that demographic was about seven points lower in 2021 compared to 2019, and more than 10 points lower than 2015.

Young voters do not favour Carney.

Under Mark Carney’s leadership, global investment firm Brookfield was accused of breaching Indigenous rights or harming the environment in at least four countries, CBC Indigenous has found.

Carney, who is running for prime minister as Liberal leader, spent more than four years as vice chair and then chair at Brookfield Asset Management, where he focused on green investing and renewable energy.

During that period from 2020 to 2024, Brookfield businesses faced reports of serious human rights abuses in Brazil, Indigenous resistance in Colombia, a First Nation’s $100-million lawsuit in Ontario and an environmental dispute in Maine.

For those who haven’t had the misfortune of parsing through Mark Carney’s ‘Values,’ it reads like a sermon from a high priest of globalism — polished, preachy, and packed with ideas that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about Canada’s economy, especially Western energy producers.

Writing as the former Bank of Canada governor and a darling of the Liberal elite, Carney pitches a vision of ‘sustainable finance,’ net-zero absolutism, and heavy-handed regulation. To the National Citizens Coalition, it’s clear: this isn’t a roadmap to prosperity, it’s a wrecking ball aimed at the heart of Canada’s resource sector and the West’s economic lifeline.

If you want an indication of how little things would change with a Carney government (versus a Trudeau one), just look at a promise new Liberal leader Mark Carney made about CBC funding during a French-language interview in Montreal on Friday.
