Phendrana Drifts

I try and pay attention to polls, given my political nature, and I did indeed read about the April 15 approval rating poll of Alberta political leaders, and was impressed with Ed Stelmach's 66% approval rating. But I didn't notice something until a friend of mine pointed it out this weekend, and that was an unlikely age category where the Premier is doing very well - 18-35 year olds. 61% of that demographic approve of Stelmach's performance. That's amazing.

Speaking of younger Albertans' involvement in the governing party, that was something else I noticed this weekend. Now being a young-ish person in the PC party, I'm fairly used to being the youngest in a room, just edging out my wife and with a 54 year old serving as the third place finisher in that contest. But this weekend I saw dozens, ranging from a 15 year old from Calgary Buffalo to groups of university and college students to young families and professionals. To call me enthused is an understatement.

The fact that younger people in Canada don't get involved is one of my top pet peeves, and one of my professional "challenges". I can't stand it - in my most cynical I suggest that our democracy may lose an entire generation of people who don't vote, certainly don't influence policy and don't have themselves heard by those who govern us. But today I'm not cynical, I feel better about the likelihood that we can engage more younger people - and if 61% choose to spend that engagement with the PC Party, well that certainly works for me.
