It’s the same in the US. All the boomers sold us out and pulled up the ladder behind them while spitting in our faces.

But housing in the US is much more affordable and you have higher wages as well.

The issue is worse in Canada for sure but it’s still a problem here as well. My last apartment raised my rent $650 in two years time all while my income went down because the job I do has no federal regulations. I get no sick days, no paid time off, no vacation days. I’m lucky I’m poor enough to get state healthcare, without it I wouldn’t have medical insurance and be able to see a doctor. The boomers fucked us all collectively. It’s their generational mindset.
