Let’s inspire a new generation of voters with a hopeful and positive message for the future. The difference needed to win against Liberals came down to 480,558 votes. Remember how important your vote was in this election.
32% of eligible voters did not vote. For context, this represents approximately 8m Canadians. Instead of aiming to win over 8m Liberals, 1m NDP, or 1m Bloc Québécois voters, aiming to inspire Canadians who didn't vote is where every candidate and elected person should focus their efforts. Remember, only 480,558 votes were needed which represents just over 4% in terms eligible voters who did not vote.
Stay positive! The Conservatives came in 1st place with youth voters who are rapidly shifting away from the radical left. For context, the Liberals and NDP came in 1st and 2nd place in the 2021 student vote.
