well fucking DUH
Canada is facing a number of destabilizing forces — like climate change, disinformation, and young adults never owning a home. That’s the take from an internal RCMP report called the Whole-Of-Government Five-Year Trends For Canada. The report is a “scanning exercise” on evolving risks for law enforcement to monitor. It puts the fact that many people under 35 will never own a home, on par with disinformation and climate change.
Police Worry Canada May Be Destabilized If Young People Realize They Won’t Own A Home
One of the concerns law enforcement is warning about is the impact of eroding economic conditions. Especially when it comes to young adults.
“The coming period of recession will also accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” reads the report.
Canada may have seen a pandemic economic boom, but it was largely related to rapidly appreciating real estate. Unfortunately, that doesn’t apply to young adults who saw housing get further out of reach.
“For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely to ever buy a place to live. The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the difference between the extremes of wealth, which is greater now in developed countries than it has been at any time in several generations,” warns the RCMP.
Wealth disparity is bad enough, but what happens when that wealth disparity is driven by shelter disparity? It’s a problem not typically seen in advanced economies at scale.
The writing is really on the wall now. And yet, the working class sleeps…
Why don’t they just adapt Socialism???
Are they stupid?
Canadians are fucking morons, yes. We have like 3 media monopolies that dominate all political thought for 99.9% of the population.
Is there more Canadians disproportionately in Hexbear than I thought? Nothing wrong with that…
We’re everywhere 👁
Canada is just America with shitty universal healthcare and even more aggressive resource extraction, so whatever produces communists will be similar in both societies, so you could safely expect 1/10 users to be canadian
What makes ye say that?
Btw, if a revolution happens, we might as well seize Canada first as a small experiment to see if the U.S will come at us…
Canada has some of the loosest mining regulations in the world, and so many of the companies that clear cut the Amazon, strip mine it for ore, and dump heavy metals into rivers are all HQed in Canada. The Canadian economy is poorly diversified with big chunks represented by mining and forestry. Canada has frequently run into conflict with native tribes by trying to force them off the land they were forced onto so Canada can build pipelines or clear cut old growth forests.
Damn, we signed up on the same day lmao
yes…
When did the ‘are they stupid?’ memes stsrt taking off and is it a reference to Patrick’s line in a SpongeBob episode? Cause if thars the case I’m like 20 years ahead in this one
I believe it’s from a Breaking Bad shitposting subreddit, but it really took off from a Batman shitpost “Why doesn’t Batman just call the Justice League for help? Is he stupid?” Re: the plot of Batman Arkham.
Okay, cause I’ve been doing it IRL and I got it from the SpongeBob episode Bye Bye Bivalve which is where the diapers meme came from as well, so maybe it’s connected.
