New data reveals Canada's senior population is expected to exceed 11 million people by 2043. This rapid rise in the number of older Canadians will have wide-reaching implications on sectors such as health care and employment, with experts sounding the alarm that Canada is not prepared to handle an aging population.

In earlier decades there was inherently more financial security because corporations were shamed more for being greedy assholes - now we praise greed and shame "inefficiently generous" corporations... that change means that we need programs like pharma-care and ubi to achieve the same security.

For fossil fuels... well, we're fucking boned. I'm fine, I'm a millennial so I'll probably be dead before it gets really bad but Gen Alpha is absolutely fucked. I'm not going to subject a child to the utter devastation our political incompetence has pretty much guaranteed.
