It's true. There's a real class and generational conflict going on in Canada.
Between the baby boomers who hold the majority of the wealth by sitting on expensive housing property, a handful of actual rich people who are the only ones able to purchase housing property, and the rest of us who can barely afford either rent or property, there is a lot of tension going on.
I mean there are now two generations who aren't able to make ends meet even with high education and what are supposed to be well paying jobs. The millennials are reaching 40 years old now and are still trying to save for a down payment on a god damn home. While gen Z is being jerked around by receiving shit pay because they're young adults who supposedly "lack experience".
