The upcoming Federal Election







The English debates are on tonight. This is a probably the biggest event of the election campaign.

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.
"It’s four men discussing this issue, in 2019. Like, what is left to say about this?" Vaupshas, 28, said as she rolled her eyes.
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.

In your group, look at an issue that concerns you and select the party that you think best addresses your concerns. Be prepared to explain your position.
