Free Press, Oct 7
At a time when young people are marching for climate action and trying to find their place in a changing economy, the first question of the debate was about abortion.

Canadians aged 35 and younger will make up the largest voting bloc in the Oct. 21 election. In Miller’s downtown Montreal riding, 49 per cent of eligible voters are aged 18 to 34.
Yet, elections are run through television ads and lawn signs, on issues such as pharmacare and income splitting.
Studies suggest young Canadians follow current events closer than people in other age groups, but their voter turnout rate has been nine to 21 per cent lower than the rest of the population in the past three elections.
