Canadaland

Our kids are broke and seriously unemployed.  We're in the dog days of summer, and for generations, that marked the end of scooping ice cream at the corner shop, pulling espresso shots at the café, or lifeguarding at the local pool.  But for many young Canadians, this isn't the end, cause there was no beginning.
