These are remarkable sentences that Justin Trudeau’s government wrote in its draft budget. “Far too many young Canadians, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, feel that hard work no longer pays off. They are not given the same opportunities as their parents and grandparents,” it says on page 120 of the budget. A lot of self-criticism follows for a government that has been in office since 2015. The young people’s impression is correct: “None of this is their fault. Times have changed, but the institutions that previous generations built no longer fit.”
