I was being slightly facetious but the point stands. It's a generational crisis and there seems to be ZERO political will to address it. I feel like the people on the 'right' side of it have pulled up the ladder. Something has to change and media coverage like this is part of the problem.
And now they get to blame the feds and province for a problem that would have appeared anyway when growth eventually slowed… “We built our finances on extracting wealth from the young and what do we do when the young stop moving here? Live with our choices? Actually pay for what we have?!?”

It's not just men either. Women of that generation are more right wing than those of other generations. One aspect that distorts things is that those who are not politically engaged before they reach 30 tend to be more right wing than the rest of the population in their 50s when they do start voting
Para el Estado la prioridad no es el bienestar del pueblo o las comunidades, ni lxs trabajadores.. para los Estados la prioridad de energía y recursos es para vehiculos de policía y Ejército, fábricas de armamento, tanques, aviones y demás máquinas para hacer guerras para el Dominio y tu sumisión.
