I will not pretend to know much, but life today for young people in Canada is much harder than 25 years ago.
I can only blame politicians for it unfortunately. In that period of time all possible combinations of left and right have been tried. Not one real businessman! Yet Canada is the biggest business in Canada.

Toronto city council recently added two more like we do not have enough of bureaucrats. Spending is up left and right. Red tape keeps being thicker and longer.

So welcome Mr. O'Leary! Hope you be a change we need!

I bet if some other successful businessman had run, Trump would not win.

For highest posts we seem to be, so far, electing actors, teachers, ...  How that makes them good managers I have no idea.
