The 2016 federal budget does little to improve the plight of young adults and families, reports Global News. One of the critics is UBC professor Paul Kershaw, who founded the Generation Squeeze campaign. Said Kershaw: “The biggest investments the prime minister will make in his first mandate is not in families with young kinds, but into old age security and into health care. Not only does the prime minister inherit a budget that spends five times more per retiree than it does per person under 45, he’s also going to grow the age gap in spending.”
