I don't think it is good to be hateful toward any group, and generalizations rarely apply to everybody in an age range. I'd guess most young people care about some older people in their lives. However, you do sometimes have to look at group dynamics in politics, with voting patterns by age being a huge one. I don't think you can understand politics or discuss them effectively without looking at the demographics. Preserving housing prices and keeping health care and old age benefits going are huge drivers in Canadian politics right now.
