Feeling Squeezed?
Hard work doesn't pay off like it used to. Younger Canadians go to school longer, to land jobs that pay less, only to face runaway housing costs.
Worried About Your Legacy?
Every grandparent wants a better life for their kids and grandkids. But that’s not the legacy older Canadians are leaving.

Fix Old Age Security

Fix Old Age Security

Join 3 in 4 Canadians calling for OAS subsidies to be based on need, not age. Making OAS responsible, modern and fair will save enough to eliminate seniors’ poverty and grow housing and income security for young and working people.

Make Housing Affordable

Make Housing Affordable

Every Canadian deserves a home they can afford. Yet for too many — especially younger people and renters of any age — an affordable place to call home has become a distant dream. Join us in calling for bold, coordinated action to restore housing affordability for good.

Compensate Young Canadians

Compensate Young Canadians

Canada's politicians have been protecting the wealth gains of (primarily older) homeowners at the cost of affordable homes for the generations who follow. Compensation for Millennials and Gen Z is long overdue. Add your voice to our call to deliver it.

Lead Doesn't Fly

Lead Doesn't Fly

Join us in calling on governments to put and end to the toxic lead emissions falling on the yards, gardens, playgrounds, and fields where children live, grow, and play.

Invest where health begins

Invest where health begins

For decades, governments chose not to prepare for the costs pressures that they knew would accompany population aging. Now Canadians are feeling the strain in our medical system. We need a generationally fair plan to cover rising medical costs — one that protects universal access, safeguards seniors’ dignity, and restores our capacity to invest where health begins.

Enact Legislation

Enact Legislation

Together we’ve made a great deal of progress securing a more generationally fair Canada. Now, it’s time to protect these advances by ensuring that Canadians are able to hold governments accountable for the wellbeing of present and future generations.
