even vice is mad. Lol.
After being elected to office last November, in part because young people turned out in droves to vote for him, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made himself minister of intergovernmental affairs and youth. This, combined with a campaign that promised more jobs for that same demographic and improvements to student grant/loan policies, left many hopeful that his government would pull through for the increasingly broke and struggling under-40 set.
Those hopes, however, were diminished with the recent unveiling of the federal budget.
According to an age-based breakdown by Generation Squeeze, a lobby group for Canadians in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, Trudeau's budget actually builds on the previous government's tendency to spend exponentially more on people aged 65 and up than those under 45, with $21,000 being spent per person in the first group compared with $4,550 per person in the second.
