Didn't know YouGov were doing MRPs for Canada, thanks for this. Interestingly 338Canada has a daily projection model that's also predicting a very similar majority, but hung parliament scenarios well within the margin of error so could still be a very interesting night!

My sense is there is pretty clear consensus in Gen Z/younger millennials on anti-austerity economics and Brexit, but Gen Z men are divided on social liberal/conservative questions.
Perhaps instead of anxiety/compassion, the driving forces are more anger and insecurity r.e. their place in the world.

(Not to speak on her behalf, but) I doubt Grace would disagree with much of what you've said about neoliberalism there.
The issue is what you/North Americans refer to as 'liberalism' is shorthand for a more progressive *social* liberalism, not the wider meaning of liberalism to which Grace refers.
