Younger voters that have never had a conservative government federally/Stephen Harper in power since they became eligible to vote? At least that's the way it sounds since apparently younger generations are voting more for the conservatives, any issues caused by his government aren't relevant to him/it's just the way things have always been. Harper has not been relevant since I became old enough to vote.
There's also people that don't really understand what power different levels of government have, and how much a certain level affects their lives. They likely default to thinking the highest level has the most power over what happens to them in their daily lives. Still stupid how many people thought they were voting out Trudeau in BC's provincial election. I think there was a second province that had the same thing happen during their election too.
As for older voters, the one I know voting conservative is into conspiracy theories, racist, and very "Americanized" with the media they consume. They are also very short sighted and unable to understand long term consequence, and probably thinks voting a different party into power is a quick fix. Not sure why anyone could see what is happening in America and say they want that here in Canada.
Not really sure why NDP is never really seen as an option federally, although this year they seem to be more focused on attack ads than pushing their platform which I don't really like. That could just be me though, and the way I end up getting my information.
Easy access to French media would have been helpful, like having shows dubbed in French along with English subtitles to follow along with, but the biggest advantage would have been being able to hear what words are meant to sound like instead practicing speaking French with another student reinforcing the incorrect pronunciation of a word.
I'm honestly not really sure what they're trying to say because the statement tries to say two things at once.
“That’s not much of a boycott in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looks like,” DeSantis said to applause.
Is it 3.3 million Canadians visiting isn't a large percentage of tourists or that many of us did visit despite the boycott? They're also omitting how long or how much was spent there, which may be fairly significant.
An estimated one million Canadian “snowbirds” – seniors and retirees who winter in southern states such as Florida and Arizona – inject billions in tourism spending during their months-long stays in the United States.
