The political bargain we’ve struck in Canada obliges younger people to sacrifice their standard of living to protect the housing wealth accumulated by homeowners who have come before them. It’s time to acknowledge this sacrifice – and to compensate young people for their profound expression of intergenerational solidarity.

We’re collaborating with Studenthaus to explore what young people think about what they’re being asked to give up, and what they deserve from the rest of us in return.

Stay tuned to hear their voices!
