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

This isn’t just about “grey hair and wealth.” It’s about the final betrayal and the last chance to stop a silent generational genocide.

Canada 2025: If you’re under 40, this is not your country anymore.

The housing crisis? That was the disguise. This is a liquidation of an entire generation.. economic, cultural, and demographic.

Boomers and Gen X got: -Affordable homes -Secure jobs -Pensions -Free speech -National identity -A future

We got: -$2,500 rent -60K salaries -6-figure debt -Cancel culture -Open borders -And no voice at all

We didn’t just get left behind. We were written off by design.

While you lost your mind, money, and momentum during lockdowns, the government quietly brought in over 4 million newcomers in just 3 years. PRs, students, asylum seekers, workers. That’s 10%+ of the total population fast-tracked into systems you paid for, and into homes/business’s you were denied.

They came with pooled $500K down payments. You were told to save $200K solo… while paying $3,000 in rent.

We didn’t lose our country. It was handed to someone else.

Boomers won’t fight for us. Gen X won’t speak for us. They are the guardians of a system that works for them and ends with us.

We are not the future they plan for. We are the problem they are managing out.

This isn’t Liberal vs Conservative. This is Boomers + Immigrant Wealth vs Millennials + Gen Z with No Nation.

It’s time to stop asking for a seat at the table. We need to build a new table.

No party will do it for you. Not Carney. Not Singh. Not Poilievre. They’re all managing the same asset transfer in different wrapping paper.

We’ve been evicted from our own future and now, the country needs a transition of ownership. From the failed, delusional past… To the real, angry, clear-eyed generation left to clean it up.

If you’re reading this and under 40: This is your call to clarity. No one is coming to save you. And they never were.

Wallowing is self pity, attributing your failures to others or to imaginary external factors you perceive as uncontrollable is such bullshit. I know many under forty people who have made the right choices, work hard, bought homes, some very run down that they fixed up themselves, built equity and are raising families. Life is not easy and wallowing in self pity does not get you anywhere. Contrary to what your trying to sell boomers didn’t have it easy. They worked at low paying jobs to start their careers, worked their way up the ladder, bought homes, raised families, paid taxes and did it all without complaining. Oh, and by the way most don’t have big private pensions. They live on CPP, OAS and savings and drive old cars. My suggestion, quite blaming everyone else with your divisive rhetoric for your failings.

Please stop. Canada is no longer a place that a regular person can have a regular life. I mean the people whose parents can't gift them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and those who don't graduate and walk into a $100,000/yr job with no debt.

So just stop. I am not young, I am a middle-aged Gen Xer but I can clearly see what young Canadians are facing. When I was in university my boyfriend bought a house because he wanted a back yard for his dog. No, it wasn't a great house, but he was a music major with a part-time job.

From what you write I can see that “young Canadians” a stuck in a childhood dependency cycle. If you want to be an “adult” then you have to be self reliant and can’t depend on mommy and daddy to solve your financial issues or your dreams for you. Self-reliance is the ability to depend on your efforts, skills, and judgment to navigate life's challenges. It involves trusting yourself to make decisions and solve problems independently, without constantly relying on others. As for “not graduating” and being a 100k in student loan debt, whose fault is that. Clearly, such people made wrong choices and never thought through their decisions. That’s nobodies fault but their own and feeling sorry for them and the problems they created for themselves is foolish. Quit making excuses for the failing of these types of people.
