I think hearing my parents and relatives talk about politics ruined my faith in democracy. BC election is coming up, and when I asked my mom who she's going to vote for, she just said she doesn't like the current Liberal MP (Liberals are the "right" of BC, NDP is the "left") because he looks too "smart". Literally no substantiation beyond that, similar from my dad and grandma. Also they smugly remark about hating Trump constantly even though Trump has basically no impact on us. I'm pretty sure people have been brainwashed by the media.
A lot of people in the environmental field vote Liberal or NDP because "conservatives cut spending" and their misguided knowledge about the oil industry.
A lot of these older voters also instill a lot of shame into younger coworkers so if you're already weak of mind, you'll think "oh they've worked here for a while they must be right" without question.
Then they complain about everything being too expensive without putting 2 and 2 together. Meanwhile the older workers are fine cause they have savings/pensions/wealthy partners.
Liberals offer people free stuff and tell them that someone else will pay for it
I know teachers are heavily encouraged by their union to vote liberal (at least in ontario)
My 80 year old mother on 3 pensions votes for Trudy because she thinks he's handsome.

It’s people that are easily persuaded by emotional arguments and who have a harder time understanding cause and effect.
Because the media tells them Conservatives are literally Hitler.
It's older Canadians too.
