    I think it’s because life is not affordable for us folks. Jobs don’t pay much and are harder to come by, rents take like 50% of our income. The govt has specifically catered old folks so that’s why you don’t see a lot of new growth from younger Canadians. And that’s true if young immigrants that come here as well

      It’s weird though because my parents generation were raised in poverty. Many of my parents generation were sleeping 4 kids to a room and there was 9 person family’s.
