19-year-old Cole Theule, a first-time voter from Winnipeg, has shifted from a family tradition of supporting the New Democratic Party to backing the Conservative Party in the upcoming April 28 election, citing economic concerns and the need for financial responsibility. Research by Abacus Data indicates that young men are increasingly supporting Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, with cost of living as their primary concern, contrasting with older generations who prioritize issues like U.S. politics. The political divide within young voters shows 41% of men under 30 favoring Conservatives versus only 23% of young women, reflecting evolving cultural and economic dynamics.
