🚨Absolutely SHOCKING report quietly released by the Government in January which predicts what Canada may look like in 15 years.🚨

A must read!

I've seen some references to it on here, but no summaries of the whole report. I decided to dig a little deeper. 🧵👇

First things first, thanks to @hollyanndoan of Blacklock's Reporter for bringing it to the public's attention. It's how I discovered it.

The document was released by Policy Horizons, which is a bit of an internal Think Tank for the gov't.

It reports through the DM of Employment & Social Development Canada to the "Minister of Employment, Workforce Development & Disability Inclusion."

That was Ahmed Hussen until 2023, so I think this webpage is out of date because the position was split up after a shuffle.

I believe it would have been Kamal Khera who was minister when this was released.

The ministry was amalgamated under Carney and is now called the Minister of Jobs & Families. So the responsible minister is now Steven MacKinnon

PCO did not directly release this (which was reported on X), but PCO has some oversight via the Deputy Minister Steering Committee & because PCO (and PMO) oversees everything that is released by the gov't.

For those of you who like WEF conspiracies & stuff, the Director General of Policy Horizons Canada is the former Head of Strategic Foresight at the WEF.

I would argue though that this document is a warning to stop doing things as we are and not a WEF guidebook to continue going down the path we are on.

So let's keep going....

It's only six pages, excluding intro, notes, etc. But it drops some absolute bombshells in terms of content. Stuff that is considered heresy by some, but is acknowledged right here by a Liberal-run gov't.

I'd argue that many of the warnings contained in the doc are already underway and have been for sometime.

I've screenshotted all the pages & will provide a link to the doc at the end of this thread.

The doc focuses on Social Mobility, a sociological concept which (simply put) speaks to peoples' ability to move up (or down) in life. This definition is from , not the report. sociology.institute/sociology-of-e…

We do get a disclaimer that the Report doesn't necessarily represent the gov't of Canada.

Pretty obvious since it is 10 years of Liberal policies which have largely contributed to the problems it highlights!

First page of the Report - which hypothesizes what Canada may look like in 2040 - starts with "Many people in Canada assume that ‘following the rules’ and ‘doing the right things’ will lead to a better life."

Which to me seems exactly correct and HOW IT SHOULD BE!

This in its most basic form is what is failing in Canada - with many contributing factors.

The Middle Class Dream is dying.

It goes on to say that "This scenario is neither the desired nor the preferred future." But notes that it is "plausible" and that we may see people "reject the systems they believe have failed them."

It's not quite Mad Max-level, but going that way.

By 2040 in Canada "upward" social mobility is unheard of.

That's a shocking 15 years away.

It's even happening already, with youth giving up hope of buying a home, many saying that the country is broken, & almost everyone saying you can't get ahead.

The government's own report acknowledges that a growing number of homeowners also own rentals and oppose policies to expand housing supply (or freeze rents).

In 2040 Canadians will be doing a side-hustle not to save for a vacation, invest in a business, or to get ahead.

It will be to MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS. ‼️

Wealth will be concentrated in the hands of very wealthy older people & their preferences may determine which sectors become winners and losers.

In 2040 more people will struggle to afford rent, bills, or groceries. (Which has already become a major problem).

This means more mental health problems and more social services.

In 2040 people will just give up hope to improving their lives at all.

One positive: we may become a less desirable destination for migrants.

But two negatives: recent working immigrants & young Canadians will just leave the country entirely.

Good luck Boomers.

We are seeing a little bit of this already, but by 2040 we'll see more hunting, fishing, and even foraging(!) on public lands & waterways.

No regard for laws or conservation.

A little more Mad Max-esque.

We may even see a flat out rejection of the entire system of governance by 2040.

You see signs already on the Left & the Right.

State will be blamed. Boomers too. More tax evasion and civil disobedience.

I think "may lose" is a bit weak here. I think it is already happening. Boomers for Carney and those who get a lot of money from the gov't seem to be the only cohorts who haven't lost faith yet.

Even this short glimpse shows that people inside the gov't can see what is coming. The shameful part is that the governing party seems to be intent on getting us there, not changing policies to lead us away.

I can't even believe this was released. It just confirms exactly what a lot of critics of the Liberals are saying.
