As Canadians reflect on the 2025 election results that delivered Mark Carney’s Liberals a minority government, polls show Canadian voters over the age of 60 voted on the question of dealing with U.S.
If anyone thinks for a minute that Carney won't sell Canada out to Trump they are sadly mistaken! Carney cares nothing for Canada & it won't take long for this to show as long as things are kept in the open BUT he's a sneakey bastard as can be seen from the way he inserted himself into Canadian politics with no seat & suddenly with little push back from any liberals became the PM. Suddenly we will be part of the US with our resources going south for nothing in return. The only one to stand up to Trudeau & Carney is Premier Smith - she needs all of Canada to support her right now. Poilievere is a true Canadian who stood up for making things better for Canadians who cannot afford to put food on the table NOW but Carney did the dirty on him by what happened in his riding to get him out of his way - there is no one better to call for answers in Parliament than Poilievre & Carney knows he would tie him in knots. There should be inquiries but that will take too long & Carney will be swift with his damage without Canadians knowing what hit them....
As a 80 year old Albertan, I think President Trump has created a “Wake-Up” for all Nations to stop the Globalists and for all Nations to start to act on behalf of their own citizens. For those who voted to continue with the Liberals running Canada they are willfully ignorant of the harm already down by the Liberal party against Canada and have signed - sealed - and delivered an independence movement to Western Canada - primarily Alberta.
I'm 67 and after chatting before the election with quite a few people around my age, MOST responses we got were pro-Conservative..and the ones that were Lib supporters..to be honest..were a bit on the 'flaky' side. For instance..when we would ask the about CBC getting millions of our tax $$ from the federal gov't, they said that was perfectly ok cuz it was supporting "a National Treasure"!!..I suppose 'flaky' is just a polite term for 'brainwashed'..
I'm 77 and never voted lieberal in my life. I don't know if I can believe these statistics anyway or any other. But I strongly condem those who voted for those criminals. Their votes were for the final distruction of this busted country. And I always said why worry about trump. All the treat from him was just his usual big mouth flapping ignorant retoric to see if he could throw a scare into our stupid leaders. And then of course the lieberals used that as a reason to get elected. And enough stupid people believed it. An now they have marked the end of Kanaduuh!
Ther may have been a good number of elderly who voted lieberal. But I believe in was more the new kanaduuhins that voted the lieberals. We all knew from a few years back that trudope was making mass import for the sole reason of votes. We know that he and his gangsters care nothing about the people, we are the peasants who live under the bridge and do as we are told. This is against what a true Albertan stands for.
We 60+ers did not ALL vote Liberal. Only the truly stupid among us did. If the motive was stopping Trump then it obviously isn’t working. I’m a month away from turning 80. We arrived in ‘52 as political refugees from one of Stalin’s postwar terror states and after waiting in five different refugee camp, were fortunate to be welcomed in Canada. I become a un-hyphenated Canadian citizen, served in the Canadian Army during the Cold War, worked in various jobs to help support my parents and siblings. I paid my own way studying at night and eventually earned a Master’s Degree at the age of forty. I have five very young grandchildren and I care what happens to them. There are many like me and we have nothing to be ashamed of.
Thank George! I'm sick of idots who try to put the blame of everything on seniors! These youngsters need to grow up and learn a lot more. Every one who voted for the lying lieberals was from every age voter. The voters who made the big difference was the new kanaduhians. Why do you suppose they've been importing them by the millions. It certainly wasn't for anybodies help'
Having known at least a dozen seniors who voted Liberal, l tried desperately to engage them in conversation about what this man's intentions are for this country and they REFUSED to listen. ALL are mainstream news followers therefore, as far as I'm concerned, are brainwashed. I'm deeply saddened by this election outcome especially for young people,as i voted Conservative for them! HOW could people not see the vast difference between one young family man who was LISTENING and engaging, throwing a lifeline and offering HOPE vs an arrogant condescending mean spirited liar, HE LIED repeatedly, offering nothing but 'CRISIS' and fearmongering. Carney's 'tough' talk on Trump was all THEATRE because IF the dumbass Liberal voters paid attention they would've realised both he and Trump are business 'pals'. Carney's WIN was, as far as I'm concerned, PLANNED. He's proven his loyalties lie with KING 'climate catastrophe' enforcer Charles and the EU. Carney's been 'placed' to ANNIHILATE this country's economy forcing us into 'serfdom' with Social Credit Scores, Digital IDs and the CBDC financial system of enslavement because THAT'S what a Universal Basic Income entails, it's CONTROL over every aspect of your life. Carney's going to use what's called the Cloward-Piven Strategy (research it) to take us down, sorry to say. I don't think I can speak to those dozen Liberal voters ever again, for their ignorance hurt our younger generations and THAT'S unforgivable.
Well, pardon me! No offence intended. But here in Alberta only a small portion would have voted lieberal. And they would have been the elderly living nursing homes likely. At an age where the are vulnerable to being influenced. I myself meet only one senior who would have voted lieberal. but we asked him what he thought of the last ten years. And of course we helped him remember. He sang a different tune after that. And I get your point about the MSM.
No worries. I'm a 'senior' and as much as I 'loved' (past tense) BC, the politics here is disgusting. Follow Sam Cooper from The Bureau, he's 'enlightening'.
Yes, I have 20 years experience with the BC government. I seen how the ndp lied about their spending until they had no money left to spend. They almost put BC in bankruptcy. And they had to scramble to find some money for CYA. I saw a few pieces of Sam Cooper, he's very knowledgeable.
I fear we're destined for bankruptcy. The late John Horgan had a 5 billion dollar SURPLUS that was left to EBY upon him taking the reigns. We're now in a MASSIVE deficit. WTH did that 5 billion go? These politicians are nothing but grifting criminals. Disgusting.
I live in Ontario and voted Conservative. I am definitely a boomer (76 years). I lost a friend of over 40 years because of her Liberal brain-washed ideals. She was born into Liberalism at a time perhaps when it was a democratic party. Has refused (now at at age 79/80) through the last ten years to accept any bad image of the Liberals, worships CBC, and didn't ever justify her beliefs other than to degrade Poilievre as the new Hitler or even the Devil himself. After being paused as her friend on FB for our differences in politics, I decided that this was not a true friendship and ended it. In keeping with the chart in this article (three main reasons boomers voted Liberal - Trump, cost of living and healthcare) she fits right in. Very, very selfish. Her large family of grandchildren and great grandchildren are in very deep trouble.
What a pathetic joke. And the jokes on those who voted con carney. Cerney is not doing anything but helping Trump. He's doing that by taxing us heavily. And that's part of the lieberal/wef plan, dismantle the nation and then the un or the us takes control. And it was not the old agers who got them in, a hell of a lot of foriegners did.
There has never been so much data available to condemn a government to extinction. Most of us don't agree with everything Trump does, but unlike a leftist that usually engages their emotional rather than logical cognitive process, we don't suffer from TDS. This is the crux of the problem.The MSM feeds off hysteria driven propaganda by maintaining a constant barrage of emotionally charged rhetoric in order to bypass critical thinking. Since even leftists were forced to acknowledge that they were suffering under the black face groper deniers government, the media lost their power over them. And then came tariffs triggering their TDS, and suddenly the MSM was able to reestablish their influence.
As I've remarked before, their childlike minds are akin to infants who can be easily distracted.
100% agree with Jim Marsh. I'm a senior & I can't believe fear of Trump could have made so many old people forget the worst 10 years in their lifetime & vote for more of the same. Shame on everyone of them as they could very well be contributing to the downfall of the nation they worked so hard to build. Especially when Trump is now licking his chops at the prospect of the 51st state. How could you fall for the Liberal lies yet again?
As one would expect, the older the demographic, the more people who own homes. However, an important distinction is that group has them paid off and so is immune to interest rate and or rent increases. Hence, they can indulge their righteous ideology without consequence.
Overall Homeownership Rate
National Rate (2021): 66.5% of Canadian households owned their homes, down from a peak of 69.0% in 2011. This marks the lowest rate since 2002.
Historical Context: Homeownership rose from 62.1% in 1981 to 69.5% in 2014 but has since declined.International Comparison: Canada’s rate (66.5%) is below the OECD average of 71.5% and lower than countries like Italy (74.3%) or Poland (87.3%), but comparable to the US (65.6%) and Australia (67%)
By Age Group (2021)
Homeownership rates correlate strongly with age, reflecting lifecycle patterns and economic conditions:
Younger Age Groups:
Ages 25–29: 36.5% (down from 44.1% in 2011, the largest decline)
Ages 30–34: 52.3% (down from 59.2%)
Ages 35–39: 61.7% (down 8.3% from 2011)
Middle Age Groups:
Ages 40–44: Near national average (66.5%)
Ages 55–74: 68.9% (down slightly from 75.5% to 74.8% for ages 70–74)
Older Age Groups:
Ages 65–69: 75.6% (highest rate)
Ages 75–84: Slight increase from 2011, driven by aging homeowners
Ages 85+: Increased slightly, supported by aging-in-place services
Key Trend: The largest share of homeowners (41.3%) is aged 56–75 (baby boomers). Younger generations (millennials) face affordability barriers, with ownership rates below the national average for those under 40.
Declining Ownership: Homeownership has dropped 2.5% from 2011 to 2021, driven by affordability issues, especially in urban centers. Younger Canadians (25–39) face the steepest declines due to rising prices and stagnant incomes.Investor Activity: New homes are increasingly owned by investors rather than owner-occupiers, particularly in Quebec, Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Intergenerational Wealth: In 2023, 40% of homeowners received familial support, indicating inherited wealth is a growing factor in homeownership.
Renter Growth: Renter households grew at twice the rate of owner households from 2011 to 2021, with 40.4% of new homes (2016–2021) rented out.
Affordability: Despite temporary COVID-19 income supports improving affordability in 2021, 20.9% of households (33.2% of renters) spent over 30% of income on housing.
Keep in the mind these stats are outdated which means the present situation is much worse and won't be updated until next census in 2026.
The single largest demographic that elected Trudeau and Biden has been, and remains, college-aged women in Canada and the U.S. The phenomena can be directly attributed to degrees, specifically the social sciences, where students have been indoctrinated into a Marxist/postmodern dogma for generations. The disease grew exponentially and is the origin of gender ideology, C.R.T., D.I.E., cultural relativism, and their ilk.
For all you 60+ers who voted Carney, hang you head in shame. You just selfishly sentenced your kids and grandkids to a life of debt and taxes.
Carneys connection to Trumps family should have been bought up much more than it was. He leased for 99 years the building in NY in 2018 from the owners - the Kushner family to get them out of a bind at the time. https://bn.brookfield.com/press-releases/brookfield-acquires-100-leasehold-interest-666-fifth-avenues-office-condominium

If the Abacus poll is correct then CBC and the other Govt funded media did their job.

You must live in ontario. In the west us "SENIORS" did NOT vote for lieberals.
I live in BC.

Not this senior did vote for that WEF plant.
I am all for Alberta joining the US.
