What are you talking about? If you watched the election on TV on election night, you would have seen the pundits giving out demographics that very night. Regardless of who broadcasts it....it all comes from Elections Canada

you don't know what you are talking about. You seldom do.

from the link Clarki supplied:

Quote
Forty-one per cent (sic) of respondents between 18 and 34 say they plan to vote Conservative, compared to 37 per cent who plan to vote Liberal. (from Nanos Research)

For people between 18 and 34, that really isn't near the split you talked about earlier. At 4 percentage points it is likely near the margin of error for such polls so is very close to the sampled (you understand the concept of sampling do you...you don't appear to..) amount for "boomers".

You might want to read the analysis by Nik Nanos that is in the following paragraph:

“Mark Carney tracks quite well when it comes to perceptions related to how he might manage the bi-national relationship (with the U.S.) and that particular issue trends very strongly among voters who are older than 55 years of age,” says Nik Nanos, chief data scientist at Nanos Research and official pollster for CTV News and the Globe and Mail."

he is saying Carney polls quite well among both cohorts - boomers and X'rs for how they expect him tpo manage the changing relationship with the US and Donald Trump.

Perhaps you are conflating Elections Canada with the many opinion polls (EKOS, Nanos, Angus Reid…) that are conducted and whose data is used by media outlets. For example, this poll compares party voting and age. https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/federal-election-vote-intention-split-among-age-gender-nanos/

BTW your statement that:

is absolutely false Elections Canada does produce or issue such statistics. As of yet Elections Canada has not produced any demographic data on the 2025 Federal election.

Perhaps Langley Shoe Renew?

In the dark recesses of my memory I recall an ancient FWR thread (that I cannot find!) about a shoe repair/cobbler in Langley that re-felted wading boots. I seem to recall the business was located in Langley Mall, but the closest shoe repair place to the mall is Langley Shoe Renew just a block or two down the road on 56th.

Edit: did a bit of extra curricular digging...10 yrs ago Quick Cobbler in Vancouver re-felted wading boots and was (is?) an approved Simms boot repair centre

We are aware that what decides Aboriginal tittle is the law aren’t we? The government is merely the body in place at the time that contracts that were entered into and promises made, years ago, are finally being enforced. Any land claims like the one in Richmond aren’t being decided by any government but by the courts. In Canada we tend to obey the laws, even the ones that we don’t like.
And as far as the dog whistle about restrictions on fishing goes, there has been no one denied even a single days fishing.

I was.....and that same sort of thing filters into the provincial and even municipal elections.....the stats will prove it.

So what. Boomers don't have a right to vote? 

BTW your statement that:

Perhaps if you checked the demographics of the most recent Canadian election, you would see that "Elections Canada" produced statistics that show the boomers were the only generation to vote liberal.

is absolutely false, Elections Canada does not produce or issue such statistics. As of yet Elections Canada has not produced any demographic data on the 2025 Federal election. It is also ridiculous to suggest that only boomers voted Liberal is moronic. I am a bommer and did not vote Liberal. I know many other people who are boomers who at least told me they didn't vote liberal.  Exit polls by Ipsos suggest that a majority (55 to 60%) of Canadians  over 55 thought that the Mark Carney and the Liberals were best able to deal with Trump's tariff proposals while of those 34 and under 42% saw the Conservatives as the best choice to deal with  affordability and the cost of living.That's not even a majority. For people 34 to 54 or so by omission  don't seem to fall one way or the other. I am sure that you can do the math to see no age cohort appeared to completely favor, one party or the other.

This discussion was obviously intended as troll bait which you often eat with joy.

FWIW all federal elections ballots are private. Information about individuals voting patterns are not made available. Ballots are counted on election night or as required by recounts. Once those are complete they are stored for 10 years as mandated  by the Librarian and Archivist of Canada. They can only be retrieved by Judicial order. After 10 years they are destroyed.

Wait till you have to pay a toll to get to the Chilliwack or Chehalis river or your favourite park because FN slept under a tree that was once there.  Bend over everybody.

many of us can bend over even at our age. How about you?
