National Post — Colby Cosh rounds up the latest election poll numbers and finds a shocker: the young-uns aged 18 to 34 are favoring — if barely and if reluctantly — “Conservative” Erin O’Toole over their hairy airhead girlcrush, “Liberal” Justin Trudeau (scare quotes are mine).
If you were hoping for a Conservative victory, Cosh lets you down in the first sentence: “Is it too soon to declare that the country is in the grip of Toolemania? Well, I’ll disappoint you: it is.” Gosh, thanks for that headline then: “Is Canada on the verge of Toolemania?“
The apparent problem in making that final declaration of “Toolemania” (please let’s find another sobriquet) seems to be women, as is the usual problem for any conservative (or pretend conservative) movement. And Conservative women (and especially actual conservative women), you can’t blame men for that. This is all on you. You women need to get other women on board. Men can’t do that, and if I understand correctly, you wouldn’t have it if they could. I thought you had leaders amongst you.
