Canada faces a myriad of destabilizing forces according to an internal RCMP report titled "Whole-Of-Government Five-Year Trends For Canada." This report identifies climate change, disinformation, and the alarming prospect of young adults never owning a home as significant risks that law enforcement must monitor closely. Surprisingly, the inability of many individuals under 35 to achieve homeownership is highlighted alongside major global challenges like climate change and misinformation. The report suggests that this trend could have profound societal implications, potentially destabilizing Canada in the long term.
Law enforcement agencies are particularly concerned about the economic ramifications of eroding conditions, especially for young adults. The report predicts that the upcoming recession will exacerbate the decline in living standards already experienced by younger generations compared to their predecessors. While Canada has witnessed an economic boom driven by the pandemic, it has primarily benefited real estate, which has further distanced homeownership from young adults. This widening wealth gap, coupled with the disparity in access to shelter, poses a unique challenge not commonly seen in advanced economies.
The RCMP report also touches on other pressing issues such as erosion of trust in Western institutions, populist sentiments, big data harvesting, and the rise of artificial intelligence. However, it emphasizes the destabilizing impact of wealth polarization, drawing parallels to historical instances where the exclusion of certain classes from land ownership led to instability and economic ruin. By prioritizing wealth extraction over sustainability, communities become vulnerable to shocks. With Canada already grappling with an overreliance on real estate, the report underscores the urgent need for addressing these systemic issues to avert long-term consequences.
