This isn’t government failure — it’s corporate influence. Companies demand cheap labor. Government delivers people. Media sells morality. Citizens fight each other online.

In 2015, seniors (65+) were ~16–17% of Canada’s population. In 2024–25, they are ~19–20%. After 10 years and 3.6+ million permanent immigrants, aging was not solved. Immigration didn’t fix aging — it was used as justification, not a solution.
