OTTAWA — It’s a dystopian future where wealth and property ownership is entirely generational, post-secondary education is no longer a key to success and hungry Canadians resort to poaching wildlife to feed their families.
While this is quickly becoming a reality for more and more Canadians, an internal government report from Policy Horizons Canada warns these horrors could become everyday life in Canada as early as 2040, returning society to one based on inter-generational wealth — with land barons and an aristocracy usually found only in history books.
Entitled “Future Lives: Social mobility in question,” the report paints a picture of what life in Canada could soon be like if current economic policy stays the course.
