Cause young people don't vote?

In regards to the last election it’s no surprise voter turnout was low. Horvath was a dead fish and should have stepped down 5 years earlier, the Liberals ran somebody no one heard of a month before the election. It feels like the only people who voted were Doug Ford fans.

So here we are. Apathy is real.

I’d love to see Jagmeet step down as leader and run for Premier of Ontario. I think he’d win.

In any case the opposition parties need to get their shit together. If you can’t beat a corrupt and barely legible drug dealing high school dropout…

I'm getting two conflicting stories here, @HikingVet says last election the 18-34s were 65-70% turn out. Was that the last federal election?

I replied to the wrong comment, sorry for the confusion.

I’m not sure what that age range’s percentage was but I do know the turnout was less that 45% and the PCs won with 40% of that number.

Edit: This is the 2022 provincial election
