Canada dropped two spots this year in the World Happiness Report to 15 and while still in the top 20, a look at how age groups feel about their happiness may shed some insight.

You think they’re unhappy? Go ask the parents of these under-30s, who should be retiring but are likely still working to support their adult kids, how they feel!

Every one of us is losing right now, except the rich pricks who still aren’t happy with billions in the bank.

Yes, I am that parent. I have no money for retirement, and I don’t own a house, and my income is entirely spent on the family. I feel pretty insecure and a bit bad that I don’t have the means to leave them anything when I die.

Are you me?

It’s possible.

If that was the case then we’d have legislation that taxes property speculators - we do not. In fact I keep hearing how they want to protect “mom and pop” landlords, or how landlords are doing a service by providing rentals.

ONLY the provincial Green Party has proposed doing fuck all about speculators. Speculators became a larger segment of the market than first time buyers a few years back.
