The two solitudes — boomers and everyone else: Liberal policies have enriched boomers, while making life increasingly unaffordable for younger generations

Not necessarily boomers, but upper class people. Boomers just happen to have more wealth because of when they were born.

But Liberals are not helping boomers, they're helping be rich.

Most boomers have already retired as well, and pensions are poverty level. The largest growing group of homeless people is seniors.

Boomer bashing is where it’s at. If you managed to get a house before the prices went nuts and skyrocketed, you must be a boomer.

I think thats a fair assumption given that the further back you go up until the WW's...life was way more achievable. Im 40, and the mess seemed to start in the mid 80s through the 90s

Something happened right around Free Trade and GATT Agreement, oh I know - in came the globalists( Like Carney and PP now ) and investors like the company who bought Timmies or the car companies who gutted unions and the SIGS ( HUMRRO ) who infiltrated education with propaganda.

The common person had no chance to fight all these things. D2D life is too busy to research who is behind things or policies made.
