Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[Altair]

My wife and I have the only grand child on her side.

In our cohort of friends only 1 couple has more than 1 kid.

The collapse is coming.

Oh for sure. It's being papered over by immigration.

But immigration only fuels things like healthcare and the housing crisis.

I'm not sure anyone talked about it, but Canada shrunk last year. The pipeline of immigration was closed, and we almost immediately went into negative population growth for the first time in the history of Confederation. And it's not just all the immigrants went home. We also got older.

Future taxpayers are not being born while medical science pushes the limits of those living longer.

God forbid there is a war.

Meanwhile, along the political spectrum....

I mean Ukraine and Russia have like 40 and 50 yr old men fighting each other. Ukraine gets shit for not sending 20 yr olds to the front. But that whole cohort suffered a post-communist demographics collapse and they don't want to make it worse.

I question how much of this is correlation. Like "Extremely Liberal" just being a college aged kid or in this case man child I guess.

Its men aged 35-45, so if they're still a "man child", they will likely remain in that state forever.

I mean,I guess that's hope for the future.

Conflicts cannot be sustained long term because there are not enough young people to throw into the meat grinder. At least in the first world.

According to this sight the average age of Ukrainian casualty is 38.7.

UA Losses

This website presents statistics of documented Ukrainian losses during the war in Ukraine.

The bell curve actually looks pretty even:

На цьому сайті представлена статистика задокументованих українських втрат під час війни в Україні.

But I am all for sending the old to fight.

Not sure how it applies to our present Govt.
