We hear a great deal about the giants who walk among us - the Canadian masters and mistresses of the universe, all those 'self-made' men and women who accomplished their feats thanks to daring, sheer hard work, and exclusive reliance on their own resources. They didn't ask for any 'handouts.'
You know who they are, the same ones who suffer a convenient amnesia about how their rise to the top was greatly facilitated by education at taxpayer-funded public institutions, government grants and loans, and access to public infrastructure and skilled workers without which they would have likely achieved little.
I'm sure those same people will dismiss the following as leftist propaganda.
The rest of us should receive it as disquieting truth.
Thanks for posting this, Lorne. As though young people needed another reason to vote. They have to take control of their future.
ReplyDeleteUnquestionably, as the largest component of the 'precariat,' the young face an uncertain future, Mound.
