Rather be a Canadian than a fascist-sucking felon child-murdering incompetent narcissist.
But that’s just a quirk of mine.

I couldn’t afford kids, so I’m not really concerned with whatever troubles the youth of today have. My only concern is myself.

What these articles forget is that this is happening all over the G7, and Canadas quality of life is still very high comparing to most other countries.
Yes we have issues with declining quality of life but it’s overdramatic to call it „stealing“ when Canadian quality of life is still high.

Hub.ca is conversative news outlet.
This type of opinion pieces excuse me news are often published when Conversatives are not in power.

“None of this is inevitable, and none of it requires resentment between generations. The problem is not that older Canadians conspired against younger ones. It is that we allowed a political economy to emerge in which the costs of drift were diffuse and easy to pass along to the next generation.”
“A milestone recession can feel like a long delay, but it is not destiny. Canada still has the resources, talent, and civic inheritance to become a country where young people can build early, contribute fully, and live with confidence that adulthood will arrive in time. Their future has not been stolen. But it has been postponed. The work now is to bring it back within reach”

This makes it sound like current economic/global turmoil is the rootcause. It’s exacerbating, for sure, but living costs relative to wages and pirchasing power have been wildly out of whack for at least a decade. Most glaringly, 10-12x housing prices to income ratio existed well before any „milestone recession“.
And to pretend the same (un)affordability ratios hit all G7 countries equally is just ignoring stats. All were impacted, but it’s been worse for Canada on average.

Add it to the list. How many things have we survived that were once in a lifetime or milestones right now?
We need to change who we prioritize for support in our country.

Youth let the boomers decide their future by ignoring the elections. Boomers who purchased their houses when household income to housing prices was a 1 to 2 ratio in the 80s and 90s ; and now it’s 1 to 8 or more when boomers want to sell to young Canadians.
One thing has remained true in the last decade: there is a significant turnout gap between younger and older demographics. In 2011, the turnout for young voters was more than 35 percentage points lower than that for people in the 65-to-74 age group. In 2021, the gap between these age groups narrowed slightly; youth turnout was 28 percentage points lower than that for the 65-to-74 age group.

During the 2008 recession, corporations used government bailouts to expand beyond reason. They have slowly been suffocating the economy since. Covid expedited that process immensely. This isn’t so much a „milestone recession“ as it’s an escalation of the one we’ve been in for almost 20 years.

Fuck the most vulnerable in society. We have a social safety net and would rather spend our money on policing , pet projects and contract delivery of crisis and intervention services.
That distracts attention from the obvious failure of the public sector to create jobs that aren’t public sector, build housing and support Healthcare and education. Cdn politicians are trash

The obfuscation of our promissory obligations ~~A milestone recession~~ is stealing the future from young Canadians…

I was born in 1990, I feel I haven’t had a future since 2001 when my grade 6 teacher told us the day after 9/11 that life as we know it will never be the same.

It’s not just a recession. The entire direction of business is turned against both the workers and consumers. Getting rid of jobs on one side, enshitification on the other.
A recession would be temporary. This is intended to be permanent.
