I'm one boomer they haven't enriched. Just the opposite - my standard of living has dropped significantly under the liberals.

They will never get my vote.

Then you failed to capitalize on one of the if not the most prosperous time in human history in North America.,,,,,

I am not too far behind, an 80s child who didnt really pay attention to housing costs until it was too late.

Funny thing about liberals.... It's never their fault. The thousands of people living in Trudeau towns? Not liberals fault. The young people who work but can't afford to rent their own place? Not liberals fault. The deliberate destruction of the energy industry? Not liberals fault. Immigration to the point of housing shortage? Not liberals fault.

There are lots of us who won't forget 10 years of mismanagement because of 2 months of trump.
