It's PC Leader Doug Ford's promise of no job losses in Ontario that has attracted more student voters to rally behind him Wednesday in London.

Organizers initially said about 600 people attended before CBC News asked for a recount.

The number of students who attended jumped from Ford's previous campaign stop back in March that saw more middle-aged voters.

Keaton Olsen, a student at Western University, said it's because many students are worried about about a declining job market due to increased minimum wages.

"I feel like a lot of students entering the workforce would be concerned about the job market shrinking," he said.

"It's hurting a lot of people with jobs and we just graduated. We want to see if there's any chances for us to find more jobs," added his friend Calvin Chao, who's a fresh graduate of the university.

'Young people want to see change'

Ford has repeatedly pledged to open the province to more international business deals and eliminate job losses. That's something the Liberals question and claim thousands of jobs are at risk if Ford wins.

But that doesn't matter to 20-year-old Stephen Muharsky, who firmly stands behind the businessman turned politician.

"I disagree so vehemently with the current platform in the current government," he said.

"Most of our lives have been spent under this current government. There is a feeling of tiredness … Young people want to see a change."

"I think it's great young people get involved and get in the know with what's going on in politics," added Matt Northmore, 22.

Ford reiterated many of his platform points Wednesday after the party published an online list of promises that didn't include a detailed fiscal plan.

Some of his promises included cutting taxes for middle income earners and businesses, and funding for more health care workers.

PC candidates including — Eric Weniger of London-Fanshawe, Susan Truppe of London North Centre and Christine Elliott of Newmarket-Aurora — were among the attendees.

The controversial PC pick — Andrew Lawton, candidate for London West — did not attend.

A media representative from Western University's student-run radio station CHRW was escorted out of the venue. The reason was unclear.
