Attracting the younger vote

The federal election is about three weeks away, and a lot of people are wondering about turn-out… especially among younger voters.

Kershaw says the NDP’s $15-a-day child care promise is a good example.

It’s something Generation Squeeze could support, but the NDP platform says if they’re elected it won’t roll out right away.
