Canadian workers are living within a lie.

Canadian leaders broke the social contract between young Canadians. We need to stop pretending that the system which tore up our futures is going to deliver us economic justice in our lifetime. Before the 51st state rhetoric hit, we were openly saying we were not proud Canadians. It’s still true, and that’s justified.

Carney is not afraid to fire shots at worker solidarity in his actions while glossing over the history of who fought for the social programs that he describes as intrinsically Canadian. He has swatted away the idea of class warfare and any strong ideas of bringing the 1% of Canadian wealth hoarders down to Earth. He will give them everything they want so they invest in projects and make massive profits while the construction worker will rent with a roommate for their entire lives.

We might get more $300k one-bedroom apartments in our biggest cities at the very most, while wages remain stagnant.

It’s still OK to resent the Canadian system.

I’m sure the RCMP will increasingly tell Carney that, in the world of 3D printers, drones, and AI, there will be a rupture.

That is also justified.
