Young Canadians are flocking away from the Democrat party!!!
New poll shows young Canadians abandoning Trudeau’s Liberal Party to support Conservatives

OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A new poll revealed that young Canadians from ages 18 to 29 are most likely to vote Conservative amid increasing censorship and inflation under the Trudeau government.
According to a survey by Nanos Research, 39.21 percent of voters ages 18-29 plan to vote Conservative over Liberal or New Democratic Party (NDP) in the upcoming election that could be called anytime between now and October 2025.
“I would be very concerned if I were the Liberals,” said Nik Nanos, the polling company’s chief data scientist and founder.
“Right now, the Conservatives are really doing well among male voters, they’re more competitive among female voters than they have been, and the Conservatives are now doing well among younger voters,” he added.
Compared with the 39.21 percent of young Canadians planning to vote Conservative, only 15.97 percent of the same group plan to vote Liberal. This is a drop from last month when polling showed 26.8 percent of voters ages 18-29 intended to vote for the Trudeau government.
The NDP is the second highest in the polls with 30.92 percent of young Canadians planning to vote in their favor.
Nanos predicted that the popularity built in 2015 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to win the election is “slowly unraveling.”
“That means that the Liberal coalition that was built in 2015, the movement led by Justin Trudeau, is slowly unraveling, and they’ve got to reverse this trend if they want to have any chance to hold on to government,” he said.
“The Liberals are getting squeezed on both sides, where young people are swinging to the progressive left because they want action, and then to the Conservatives for those young Canadians that are struggling to pay the bills and figure they’ve got nothing to lose by potentially having Pierre Poilievre as prime minister,” Nanos explained.
“This is terrific news because it means we’re that much closer to seeing the end of Trudeau’s Liberal regime, and his non-stop promotion of abortion, euthanasia, LGBT propaganda and open drugs!” Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews.
“Just about every demographic now is realizing that Justin Trudeau has made their lives measurably worse,” he added.
“With young people, they’ve realized they can ‘t afford groceries, gas for their cars, or to go out to bars and restaurants with their friends, or on dates,” Fonseca continued. “They feel that the future Justin Trudeau has carved out for them is bleak, hopeless and much poorer than the lives their parents enjoyed, with little hope for them of obtaining financial success or a comfortable, middle-class life.”
“Trudeau has offered them the WEF vision of owning nothing by 2030 and ‘being happy,’ but these young adults have rejected the offer,” Fonseca declared.
Fonseca also revealed that he believes young Canadians are responding to Trudeau’s promotion of LGBT rights as recent months have revealed an increased number of youth standing up for traditional values.
In July, Canadians were faced with the highest interest rates in 22 years as the Trudeau government continues its massive spending.
While inflation has hit on a global scale, the Liberal government in Canada under Trudeau doled out large amounts of borrowed money to fund both its COVID and ideologically driven programs, which have increased the country’s debt to over $1 trillion.
In fact, the nation’s debt level has nearly doubled to approximately $1.2 trillion in a span of less than two years, from around $685 billion in 2019.
Critics have long characterized the Trudeau government’s spending as “reckless” and have blamed it for the current inflationary crisis.
Earlier this year, the BoC admitted that Trudeau’s federal “climate change” programs, which have

And one after another case against the Democrat's draconian mandates to get vaxed are being won across the country because they're an unconstitutional attempt of a power grab:
NYC teachers win jobs back with backpay after refusing COVID-19 vaccine
A New York judge said city officials were arbitrary and capricious when they denied religious exemption claims to the vaccine mandate

Dr. Siegel: Doctors were 'cut out of the equation' on vaccine mandate decisions
Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel discusses the impact of COVID vaccine mandates after Republicans claimed they violated individual freedoms and the White House's handling of the Biden family dog's attacks.
A New York judge said Wednesday that 10 employees fired by the New York City Department of Education for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine must be reinstated with back pay.
In a major victory for vaccine mandate opponents, State Supreme Court Judge Ralph J. Porzio held that the city's denials of religious accommodation to certain employees were unlawful, arbitrary and capricious. The case, DiCapua v. City of New York, concerned school principals, teachers and other educators who sued after city officials rejected their claims for a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate.
"This Court sees no rational basis for not allowing unvaccinated classroom teachers in amongst an admitted population of primarily unvaccinated students," Porzio wrote in a 22-page opinion. "As such, the decision to summarily deny the classroom teachers amongst the Panel Petitioners based on an undue hardship, without any further evidence of individualized analysis, is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. As such, each classroom teacher amongst the Panel Petitioners is entitled to a religious exemption from the Vaccine Mandate."

New York City's vaccine mandate for all Department of Education workers was in effect from Oct. 1, 2021, to Feb. 10, 2023. Thousands of teachers and other education workers lost their jobs under the policy for refusing to comply with the mandate.
Sujata Gibson, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, celebrated the victory as a "watershed moment in the teachers' two-year fight for relief," according to a news release by Children's Health Defense, a nonprofit founded by vaccine skeptic and Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
"The Court’s decision not only grants relief to these ten teachers, but it also sets important precedent for all other teachers denied religious accommodation," Gibson said.

Porzio's ruling in favor of the fired educators did not extend to petitioners who had not initially applied for religious accommodation under the city's vaccine mandate, which a federal court struck down as unconstitutional in 2021.
"The Court agreed that employees were not required to submit applications through the prior unlawful process but still declined to award relief to those plaintiffs on the grounds that there were contested issues of fact as to whether these plaintiffs submitted applications under the new process," said Gibson. "This is an error, and we will be making a motion to reargue on their behalf."
The court also rejected plaintiff motion for class certification, stating that the proposed class was "overbroad."

I wonder why. Why would anyone want to be a police officer now? They are targets and nothing much happens to criminals who go after them.

People are tired of being made poor by government policies. A very liberal young friend needs to move. Their family has outgrown their tiny condo and they can’t add space. But the interest rates are so high they can’t afford house payments. Even if they move to a property with the same size mortgage they can’t afford house payments. And they are the lucky ones who can even afford to buy.

More and more Democrats are leaving the Democrat party...
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson Leaves Sinking Democrat Ship, Will Switch Affiliation to Republican Party “America’s Cities Need Republicans, and I’m Becoming One”
By Margaret Flavin
Sep. 22, 2023 12:20 pm
On Friday, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced he is leaving the failed Democrat party and will switch his affiliation to Republican.
In an Op-Ed in The Wall Street Journal Friday morning, he explained his decision.
Johnson discussed the successful work his administration has done to reduce violent crime in his city and shared his pride in reducing property tax rates to increase interest from investors.
Johnson received 98.7% of the vote in his re-election campaign this year and, though he affirms he has no intention of changing his approach, he will change his party affiliation saying, “Next spring, I will be voting in the Republican primary. When my career in elected office ends in 2027 on the inauguration of my successor as mayor, I will leave office as a Republican.”
Further, Johnson explains, “The future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism. Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP.”
With that in mind, Johnson continued:
In other words, American cities need Republicans—and Republicans need American cities. When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America.
Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise.
Too often, local tax dollars are spent on policies that exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living. And too many local Democrats insist on virtue signaling—proposing half-baked government programs that aim to solve every single societal ill—and on finding new ways to thumb their noses at Republicans at the state or federal level. Enough. This makes for good headlines, but not for safer, stronger, more vibrant cities.

Pandemic of retail THEFT: Democrat county supervisor now regrets stupidly backing a radical crime bill that legalized shoplifting in California
09/10/2023
Belle Carter
A California county supervisor recently took to X, formerly Twitter, to admit his mistake of backing the radical crime bill Prop. 47 a decade ago as it only legalized shoplifting and made the pandemic of retail theft worse – an "absolute outrage" even.
San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa said he was for the passing of the legislation because he saw it as a chance to give people serving long sentences for retail theft a second chance. Prop. 47 allows felons currently serving prison terms to petition for reduced sentences under the new classifications.
Moreover, a well-known statute in the crime bill raised the minimum amount of stolen goods from $400 to $950 for a theft case to be classified as a felony. Criminal mobs took advantage of the law because they knew that if they got arrested, they could simply walk out of jail the next day and only face misdemeanor charges. This, according to critics, is what caused the rise in petty theft across the state.
"I thought it was a good idea then because we need to give people an opportunity, we need to give people a chance," Canepa told CBS, adding he was wrong to back the measure now that the explosion of retail theft in California and elsewhere has become more evident. "I made a mistake, it was a big mistake, and you have to acknowledge your mistake. By doing this, what we've done is we're, letting people take thousands and thousands of dollars. And why should people be subjugated?" he stated. "We can't go on like this."

The Democrat supervisor also admitted defeat in the X post as their current measures to combat the epidemic of organized retail theft are not working. "Thirty billion dollars lost to national retail theft is an absolute outrage! The fear of organized retail theft is driving people away from our beloved shopping centers," he disclosed. (Related: Big-box stores closing down due to rising RETAIL THEFT.)
This was confirmed by the latest data from the National Retail Federation (NRF), indicating that retail theft and other inventory loss (known as shrink) skyrocketed to $94.5 billion in 2021 from $90.8 billion in 2020. Thirty-seven percent amounting to roughly $35 billion, the biggest part of the losses, came from external theft, according to the NRF report.
"Violence is an increasingly important concern among retailers," including shootings and assault, the report reads. "As has been detailed throughout this report, external theft and [organized retail crime] in particular, is a significant and growing area of concern for retailers."
Canepa's social media post also included his reply on the thread saying that he is planning to introduce legislation to form a task force in San Mateo County, comprised of law enforcement and business community members, which would come up with new strategies and sentencing guidelines. This is to combat the organized theft rings to enhance public safety and protect the economy.
"On September 12th, at the Board of Supervisors meeting, I want to move forward with legislation to create a task force of the Sheriff's office, as well as the police chiefs here in San Mateo County," Canepa said.
SFPD: Bolster law enforcement with good pay and policy shift
San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) sergeant Rich Cibotti recently told the Epoch Times that he believes current police staffing woes can be traced back to the "defund the police" movement. SFPD lost hundreds of officers to other departments, resignations, early retirements, and normal retirements, he recalled, emphasizing that he was sharing his personal opinions and did not speak on behalf of his department.
Cibotti said police hiring takes about two years and the current staffing shortages can have big impacts down the road. Also, pay raises can help drive interest in joining the force, but cautioned that higher wages won't do anything to counteract what he suggested was political hostility towards policing in San Francisco.
"San Francisco is rather difficult politically for the police. To fix that issue, a major shift in policy and public support wil
