Maybe there's some misinformation here. For at least 20 years we've been made to feel sorry for the "disappearing" middle class,.  For the last 30 years the crisis of the suffering working classes has grown worse and worse but only since the rise of Donald Trump and Brexit have the media even mentioned the term "working class". That's some serious disinformation in Canada, the middle class paradise.

  In my city the middle class are "disappearing" allright. They're vanishing into thin air - to Arizona, Florida, Mexico, Cuba, London, and Bali.
  Take a ride around my city all one sees is neighbourhood after neighbourhood of large three and four bedroom homes with two or three vehicles and boats in the drive way, elaborate gardens, garages spilling over with hockey nets, basketball hoops, basketballs, toys strewn around the lawns.
   The G & M only days ago reported that more new cars are being sold in Canada now than ever before.
