Young males voters are swaying...

No rights for a whole group because you do not agree with the political leaning of ~1/4 of them (poor young folks that vote centre and left). Add to this that younger men have a lower turnout voting, than any other age group.

A while we are at it

Young drivers are notoriously bad at driving,

With this logic, I imagine you also want to remove the license from people +50yo. Maybe their voter card as well.
Given their turnout and right-wing tendencies. Also, how bad they drive, given the number of accidents.

Hey, I all for a walkable city, possibly you are right with this license takeover.

but not for North Americans

Oh, yes, we are different because we live on this arbitrary piece of land.
Other countries have internet (better than here) and right-wing pundits as well.

I don't think irrational fear of what others might do should be the gatekeeper of their rights.

I also do not agree with them paying taxes with no representation.

It’s THEIR future that we vote for

Given that you want to reduce the rights of a group that are active members of the society, can join the workforce and pay taxes, and studied for most of their lives. Just because you do not agree with what a fraction might do. I don't think you have their best interest in mind.
