Should governments be concerned about generational fairness? On this episode, Nate is joined by Paul Kershaw, professor at the UBC School of Population and Public Health, and founder of Generation Squeeze, a national research, education, and advocacy organization focused on fairness for younger Canadians.
With the federal budget set to be released on April 19, Nate and Paul discuss how the budget process can and should better serve younger Canadians, including by addressing the high cost of housing and childcare, delivering climate action, and increasing revenue to meet our growing public debt.
