Mr. Falk, this is a great question. I don't think you're reading the executive summary clearly enough, but here are the facts of the matter.
If you're a young person today, you're going to go to school years longer and incur far more student debt than somebody your age did in the past to land jobs that, after you adjust for inflation, pay thousands of dollars less for full-time work, and then you'll face a housing situation in which your rent will be on the rise and your chance to get into the housing market as an owner is even more out of reach.
A typical young Canadian, back when my mom started in the housing system, had to work five years of full-time work to save a 20% down payment on an average-priced home. Now, across Canada, you'd need to work 14 years on average. Of course, it's worse in Ontario and B.C., and worse in Victoria, Toronto and Vancouver.
In other words, Mr. Falk, hard work from your kids does not pay off like it used to, and that is the quintessential issue that we need our public policy-makers to respond to, because we want hard work to pay off like it used to, and we need to adapt policies to help ensure that hard work comes to at least approximate the return it did back in the day.
Your kids definitely have reason to be angry at you when you say those sorts of things, because that dismisses the very harmful economic situation they have inherited by comparison with you.
