"The takeaway is clear: the fiscal footprint of aging now drives provincial balance sheets. Unlike other drivers of deficits, such as poor policy decisions or trade wars, this one was both predictable and preventable." #cdnpoli #GenZ #Boomer #Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Medical care is one of the clearest examples of the service younger generations provide. Recognizing that is essential both to protecting universal access and to safeguarding the legacy of boomers. (9/10)...

Canada is not alone. "Voters often accuse politicians of fiscal sleight of hand, but here they are complicit in presuming ever larger pension cheques can be conjured like rabbits from a hat. At some point, both groups must confront mathematical reality." www.ft.com/content/d419...

In the mid-1970s, seniors made up less than 10% of most provincial populations. Today, their share has doubled. This demographic shift explains today’s strained hospitals, long waits, and provincial health budgets that always feel short. #cdnpoli #Canada #GenZ #boomers

Our kids are counting on us to do more, not less to protect them from the risks of climate change so let's modernize industrial carbon pricing. It's Canada's most impactful climate policy, capable of driving more emissions reductions than any other policy. climateinstitute.ca/federal-gove...

A new poll shows overwhelming support for requiring Canadians aged 18 to 30 to perform a year of national service but the conversation misses a deeper reality: Younger Canadians already perform a critical national service. They are protect healthy retirements for our aging population. 🧵 (1/12)

If you work in housing, care, income or education, you're part of the health system. But B.C.'s budgets don't fund prevention like it matters. The Federation supports @gensqueeze.bsky.social's call to rebalance. 🔗 www.gensqueeze.ca/get_well_can... #GetWellCanada #BCPoli #CommunityServices

Rentals.ca ’s latest Survey for Summer 2025 reveals younger Canadians are struggling most with affordability. Also, 46% of people spending more than half their income on rent have spent 6+ months searching for new apartments. rentals.ca/blog/summer-...

A year of national service? Until we acknowledge that millennials and Gen Z already perform critical national service on behalf of the aging population, it is misguided to demand even more. #cdnpoli #millennials #GenZ www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

In the 1970s, provincial governments spent more on social services/education than they did on medical care. Now, the opposite is true, but doctors can't prescribe poverty reduction, child care or access to affordable housing. We need a rebalancing! www.gensqueeze.ca/invest_in_we...
