I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone else who thinks that the die was cast before the boomers and certainly by the time they came of age. I never tire of pointing out that Friedman, Reagan, and Thatcher and their cohort and most of their collaborators were not boomers. Nor are Poilievre, Trudeau, Scott Moe and theirs. Boomers are not without blame, but no 20th century generation is.
As a boomer myself, maybe I’m just looking to spread the blame. But in my rural community, it’s the boomers who most reliably argue for environmentalism, debt control, and wealth distribution through public services.
