🚨 A federal report quietly released by the Privy Council predicts a dystopian Canada by 2040:

Class-based dating apps.
AI replacing your job.
Illegal hunting to feed your kids.
Gated cities for the rich.
Not satire. Their words. 🧵

The report is from Policy Horizons Canada, the in-house think tank of the Prime Minister's Office.

It’s titled “Future Lives: Social Mobility in Question.”
But it reads like a eulogy for the Canadian Dream.

“In 2040, people rarely mix with others of different socio-economic status.
Algorithmic dating apps filter by class.
Gated metaverses, like real life, offer few opportunities to meet people from different backgrounds.” (p.6)
Welcome to caste system 2.0.

Jobs? Forget it.

“The value of human labour has shrunk because of AI…
The best AI assistants are expensive.
This reinforces structural inequalities.” (p.7)
You’ll be replaced by an algorithm you can’t afford to compete with.

Think you’ll escape by upgrading your skills?

“Post-secondary education is no longer considered a reliable path to social mobility…
Tuition and housing costs exclude all but the wealthy.” (p.9)
So much for ‘learn to code.’

Universities become elite clubs:

“Fewer young people choose post-secondary education…
Those who do see it as a way to reinforce their membership in the ‘elite’.” (p.10)
Degrees are no longer about opportunity—they're about gatekeeping.

Can’t buy a home? Join the pod people.

“Owning a home is not a realistic goal…
Some take out intergenerational mortgages.
Others enter alternative household mortgages with friends.” (p.11)
That’s not housing. That’s hostage-taking with a payment plan.

When you can’t afford food? Go feral.

“People may start to hunt, fish and forage on public lands and waterways without reference to regulations.” (p.13)

The same gov that banned plastic forks and your hunting rifles thinks you’ll go full Hunger Games by 2040.

And it gets darker:

“People may reject the state’s legitimacy…
Higher rates of tax evasion or other forms of civil disobedience.” (p.15)
Even Ottawa admits Canadians will stop believing in the system.

Their solution? There isn’t one. You'll own nothing and be happy.

Just buzzwords like “resilience” and “community gardening” while the Liberal–WEF elite retreats behind gates—digital and physical.

This is managed decline—written by the same people managing the collapse.

This isn’t foresight. It’s a confession.

And if we don’t change course fast, this isn’t just Canada’s future.
It’s our government’s blueprint.
