National Security Requires Financial Security for Millennials and Gen Z
from Generation Squeeze's Hard Truths · host Generation Squeeze
Canada’s Armed Forces have reportedly begun modelling responses to a U.S. invasion. Among the ideas said to be under consideration is a civil defence corps – potentially a million residents trained and organized to strengthen national resilience. Before we ask Millennials and Gen Z to shoulder yet another obligation of national service, we must acknowledge the many ways we already oblige them to sacrifice. We must also ask older Canadians to reciprocate by rebuilding fiscal policy to be fair across generations, and future-oriented.
