What do we want from the new Liberal government?

The Liberal election platform recognizes that Canada no longer works for all generations. As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new government appoints Ministers and sets out plans, solutions to this national challenge must be at the forefront of our efforts to protect, build, and unite Canada.

These solutions are readily available.

Gen Squeeze has done the legwork, mapping out the practical steps needed to promote wellbeing for all ages. There are 5 critical actions that new Ministers must take to achieve their goal, and prove to young people that under Mark Carney, actions follow words.

1. Achieving big nation-building goals for all Canadians begins with moving retirement benefits into the 21^st century.
2. Fixing housing begins with compensating Millennials and Gen Z for enduring high costs to protect housing wealth for those who’ve come before them.
3. Eliminating structural ageism in federal spending by narrowing age-based spending gaps.
4. Standing up for pollution pricing is the most important way to make sure we don’t betray our kids.
5. Proving to young people that words lead to actions requires formal measures to embed long-term accountability for generational fairness in government.
