It doesn't matter if the Millennial voting bloc is higher if:

  1. The Boomer voting bloc percentage was higher, which it was in 2025.

  2. If the vote in the Millennial demographic was divided between the parties. The boomer vote was overwhelmingly LPC, which it was in 2025.

Many millennials don't vote. Even though I do vote, I don't see much value in it. The two main parties can just ratchet the populace with deceptions, money and scapegoats.

Canadian democracy is always catering to self interested voters, rather than the common good.

Boomers are some of the longest running offenders.

So no. I will keep blaming them, and their stupid kids.

    Not to mention population dispersion. Majority of Millennials live closer to urbanized areas (COVID allowed for remote work from rural areas, but that's been shortlived), while boomers have been the reverse.

    So when 3mil in an urban area get 2 MPs, but 1mil dispersed in the rurals get 5 seats - it's not so much about millennials voting against their interest.

    Where is that happening well not perfect our ridings seem pretty dispersed by population. Well I don't know every riding obviously care to share done examples where 1 million people have 5 mos and 3 million have 1.

    All of northern Ontario together is 1/3 of Toronto's population, yet have more seats federally and provincially. And North Ontario population skews much older. This is a well documented and known issue in Canadian politics.

    The value in voting is that politicians will be more aligned to you in the next election.
