well fucking DUH
Canada is facing a number of destabilizing forces — like climate change, disinformation, and young adults never owning a home. That’s the take from an internal RCMP report called the Whole-Of-Government Five-Year Trends For Canada. The report is a “scanning exercise” on evolving risks for law enforcement to monitor. It puts the fact that many people under 35 will never own a home, on par with disinformation and climate change.
Police Worry Canada May Be Destabilized If Young People Realize They Won’t Own A Home
One of the concerns law enforcement is warning about is the impact of eroding economic conditions. Especially when it comes to young adults.
“The coming period of recession will also accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” reads the report.
Canada may have seen a pandemic economic boom, but it was largely related to rapidly appreciating real estate. Unfortunately, that doesn’t apply to young adults who saw housing get further out of reach.
“For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely to ever buy a place to live. The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the difference between the extremes of wealth, which is greater now in developed countries than it has been at any time in several generations,” warns the RCMP.
Wealth disparity is bad enough, but what happens when that wealth disparity is driven by shelter disparity? It’s a problem not typically seen in advanced economies at scale.
The writing is really on the wall now. And yet, the working class sleeps…

I’m not sure “Why don’t the youth go survive in the Canadian wilderness” is the answer you think it is.
I’ve read Hatchet, that kid survived a wilderness plane crash so I’m sure I could do the same
I haven’t read that, I have read Into the Wild about Chris McCandless though.
Hate that dipshit. He did exactly what everyone told him not to do and died exactly the way everyone predicted, and then got totally undeserved fame.
Oh my comment was a little tounge-in-cheek, it’s part of a fiction series. The Canadian wilderness ain’t nothing to fuck with. I remember there was those two dipshit murderers that tried to go on the run in northern Manitoba, they didn’t last long
Oh I knew you were being facetious, sorry if that didn’t translate.
Oh no worries, I’ve just been mistaken for being serious recently when I was making jokes haha
there is a surprising lack of shanty towns this time around
We just call them homeless encampments now and have the pigs clear them out every few days so people are forced to keep moving and find more places that are hidden out of sight
Reddit moment
Surely this is a joke
Ok your options are:
Wilderness that catches fire every year with the added benefit of horrible insects like horse flies, black flies etc
Wilderness that’s so wet (temperate rainforest) you have to bring your own fire starter or be really skilled at drying shaved tree bark or something
Ice
Snow problem
Most of it is completely undeveloped wilderness. And it’s wilderness of a kind that doesn’t exist in other parts of the west. It’s not a park or a nature preserve, it’s real, impassible mountains and surface of the moon cold plains that have always had very low density human population or none at all.
