| Your Grandparent's Government |
| 06.02.04 (5:15 pm) [edit] |
| According to stats Canada there are 2.62 million Canadians aged 18 to 24. There are 9.09 million Canadians aged 25 to 44. There are 7.29 million Canadians between 45 and 64. Finally there are 3.88 million seniors. 25.4 per cent of 18 to 24 years old vote. 54.2 percent of 25 to 44 year olds vote. 70.9 percent of 45 to 64 years vote. Lastly, 82 percent of seniors vote. If these groups vote in the same ratio this time around, the numbers break down like this: 8.35 million voters will be 45 and older and 5.60 million will be 44 and younger. What this means is that once again the parties will be offering up a Grandparent government. After all, that is where the votes are. |
