Educated Voters started with a conversation among friends that grew into a mission: make political info relatable and accessible for minority groups, youth, LGBTQA+, and others. We're building a community where questions are welcomed, and politics feels approachable again.

Liberals would rather spend their time dismissing that Canadians’ living standards are dramatically dropping and make fun of JD Vance than acknowledge under their leadership. They are dropping, it is just due to their corporation-first policy, not immigration.

These politicians are treating this like it's just one more bad budget rather than a crucial step in a radical agenda to militarize Canada and force it onto an austerity trajectory for decades.

Our law makers are going to pass a budget that removes taxes on private jets and yachts while 1 in 4 Canadians no longer have enough food to eat, a quarter of the country. This is so depressing.

Budget 2025, like Project 2025, cuts taxes for corporations, removes the luxury tax on jets and yachts, and has absolutely no provisions for new housing to be built to be affordable. It slashes services and eliminates 40k good jobs. It provides $81B for the military, $24B of that going to 🇺🇸.
With Budget 2025, we will double the rate of housing growth — more homes for Canadians, and more careers in the skilled trades.
