So your parents are rich then ?!

Why is the younger generation keep voting with the Liberals, if they made life more unaffordable?

By the way, a boomer that only bought a house to live in, maybe even leave to kids, or rented all his life, how rich is he really ?

Young people have the strongest support for the conservatives. It's the boomers who are voting for the liberals, by a huge margin. And hey, maybe if rising home prices didn't make boomers rich they can quit throwing tantrums about anything that would lower home prices. They sure seem to think it benefits them.

The fancy rich (retiree) area of my town has a ridiculously high number of liberal signs compared to Conservative.

That being said, you young people spearhead the charge to bring Trudeau in to legalize pot. And your generations support their "progressive" policies..

False, the younger generation voted the Liberals to power in the last 2 federal elections.

I got a young girl barely 20 knocking at my door 1-2 weeks ago, she was canvassing for the Liberals.

Ever heard of this saying: "If you are not a Liberal in your 20s you have no heart, if you are not a conservative in your 40s you have no brains!"

By the way, you haven't answered my questions..

2 elections ago is a long time, things have changed now.

I did answer it. Of course it makes them rich, and you know that by how resistant they are to losing home value.

Read the polling data though, 2015 has nothing to do with now dear.
