Barbara Kay: Quebec Conservative party's freedom platform forcing a realignment

MONTREAL — Covid changed everything, including political leanings. Quebec’s upcoming provincial election on Oct 3 offers a window onto those shifting sands.

This continues the idea that the conservatives are the new anti-establishment party and the libs are 'the man' that young people will rebel against. It's very unlikely that the quebec conservatives will win, but that might just spur more and more quebecers to vote conservative federally when the time comes.

Regarding a more general look at that i thought this was interesting:

It’s happening in the U.S. centrist pundit David Brooks last year observed of young conservatives in an Atlantic article, “They grew up in the era of … identity politics. They went to colleges smothered by progressive sermonizing. And they reacted by running in the other direction.” In Canada, federally, a recent Abacus poll showed that the CPC found favour with 37 per cent of 18 to 29 year olds — more than for either the Liberals or the NDP.
