A secret RCMP report is warning the federal government that Canada may descend into civil unrest once citizens realize the hopelessness of their economic situation.
The coming period of recession will
accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations, reads the report, entitled Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada.
For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live, it adds.
The report, labelled secret, is intended as a piece of special operational information to be distributed only within the RCMP and among decision-makers in the federal government.
