His [Pierre Poilievre] pitch resonates with voters like Eric and Carri Gionet, from Barrie, Ontario. They have two daughters in their mid-20s and said they were attending their first ever political rally.

"We're pretty financially secure - but I worry about them," said Eric Gionet. While he and his wife could buy their first home while young, he said, "there's no prospect" their children will be able to do the same.

Good lord, I mean I'm glad they're aware of the problem but thinking a conservative is going to solve it is amazing. Wonder what their daughters think about this.
