The opening lines of the Liberal government’s new budget accurately sum up the situation Canadians are facing:
“A fair chance to build a good middle class life–to do as well as your parents, or better–that’s the promise of Canada. For too many, especially for young Canadians, that promise is at risk.”
A lot of Canadians reading that line, particularly younger ones, would nod in agreement. It’s the line that follows, though, that will have them do a double take.
