It'll be interesting to say the least. I see the Libs taking Ontario, Quebec, and BC while the NDP and Cons fight over the rest of Canada.

Even though I'm usually right and they are usually wrong. lol.

Ignorant, stupid, lazy, false sense of entitlement just because...
Nope, younger by another decade or so.
Most of my friends are pre 90's, still no better.

So I'm an 80's baby, what exactly am I entitled too? Not many social programs for 30 year old white males with jobs. I guess I'm entitled to fund programs, but not entitled to use them. But I guess come December I'll be rolling in the baby bonus lol

Entitlement must be like an addictive drug because it seems to seduce believers of every "political" stripe.

Watch it with those generalizations! Joking of course.
There are a few of us 80's babies that are not NDP. Some of us work for the dollars that go into our bank accounts. Too many or the 80's kids went into the liberal arts programs and now they find it hard to pay for their fancy juices and coffees without government support (and I wish I was joking about this part...).

I been saying this all along. While there are many reasons for it IMO, I believe it's largely a result of the education 'regime'. Roots in the sixties.
We aint seen nuttin yet. Wait till these people have kids, and so on. oh boy.....

I'm an 80s baby. Finished highschool, no college I now own and manage a company with 22 employees. I am never ever going to vote ndp. I got off my ass and did something with my life.. im not into paying the way of my former classmates that sit on theor fat butts at mom and dad's house watching the world pass them by. Doing that is allowing people to steal from me. If it gets bad enough I'll just sell all my assets, shut down the business and move to Asia somewhere and chill on the beach.talk about job creation eh lol (sarcasm) No way am I paying the lazy man's way. NO WAY it is not my responsibility to help people who are too lazy to help themselves

I think the stats say that the majority that cast ballots are 50+ ? For those who are disgusted by "handouts", there is always the option of returning funds or not applying for them in the first place. There is nothing wrong with standing up for your beliefs. Accordingly, I reckon more than half those receiving those generous Family Allowance cheques will be marking them "return to sender".

You were raised well, you didn't get brainwashed in college, you are intelligent and are able to think critically,.........perhaps.
