Canadians separated between age groups and party lines in voting in federal electionThe output surveys have suggested, with different problems that lead their choices.
The exit surveys conducted by Ipsos exclusively for Global News found the Canadians 55 years and over lengthened towards the Liberals, who were considered the party that would best manage US President Donald Trump and his effiloche of the Canada-US relationship.
Young Canadians aged 18 to 34, for their part, have chosen the conservatives, according to their perception of who would best approach the affordability and the increase in the cost of living.
“What we have is two groups of people: the one who remembers a Canada who worked wonderfully (in the 1970s and 1980s) … that Canada is not Canada for young people today, who do not identify with this,” said Darrell Brcker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.
Global News projects Liberals under Mark Carney will form a minority government, While the conservatives were considered to improve their last two electoral performances, but also saw The leader Pierre Hairy loses his conduct on the Carleton Ottawa region, that he has held for 20 years.
The two parties have won largely at the expense of the new Democrats, who saw their share of voting fall to a single figure.

The liberals were massively considered the best equipped party to manage this question, according to Ipsos – leading the conservatives of 65 points in total.
Conversely, voters aged 18 to 34 have seen the affordability and the cost of living as their first number at 42%, followed by housing, health care and the economy. Only 18% of younger voters said their choice was inspired by the Canadian-American relationship.
Ipsos found the conservatives leading the liberals on economic issues, in particular the cost of living and the economy of the “kitchen table” – although by a much smaller margin, at five points, that the liberals appreciated on the American issue.
“What we saw this evening are these two problems that are collided and we ended up with a (probably) minority government as a result,” said Bricker on Monday evening.
Tuesday at 11:18 am, the east, the Liberals were to be elected or to lead in about 168 districts, which is just shy of the 172 seats required for a majority government.
Overall, 38% of Canadians interviewed after voting their vote and the cost of living led their choice, while 23% said it was American relations. The economy and housing also appeared in the four main problems that stimulated Canadians’ votes.
In particular, 48% of all voters told Ipsos that Canada was heading in the wrong direction after 10 years of liberal government, while a third party said the country was on the right track.
A fifth of the voters said they strongly agree with the often repeated suggestion of Hairy according to which Canada is “broken”, while about a quarter said they were somewhat disagreeing or strongly disagreeing.
Bricker said the context would make the next liberal government “difficult” to conduct questions in addition to the American relationship.
