Generation Squeeze: Paul Kershaw at TEDxPowellRiver

tedxpowellriver... Paul Kershaw leads the Gen Squeeze campaign. He is a farmer morning and night. By day, he is a University of BC professor, public speaker, volunteer and regular media contributor. Kershaw is one of Canada's top thinkers about family policy with Canadian Family magazine describing him as "the 'Generation Squeeze' guru." Twice the Canadian Political Science Association has awarded Kershaw national prizes for his research. "Armed with a laptop and a raft of statistics," The Vancouver Province describes Kershaw as "a one-man road show trying to change BC one talk at a time." He brings that commitment to all provinces in support of a Canada that works for all generations. At the University of BC, Kershaw is a faculty member of the Human Early Learning Partnership in the School of Population and Public Health, where he is a Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation Scholar.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

We pay $1800 per month on childcare and $1300 per month on student loans. I don't see this as reasonable, but apparently the government does!

+Denelle Lambert :
Read my comments on the video and let me know if you would like a 15% - 20% mortage as my wife had.

@@glenndickson7627 When you break it down to monthly payments, it would be much better to have higher interest rates and lower house prices.

Once upon a time, we used our own public bank, the Bank of Canada to create money for major public projects, such as the second world war, the St. Lawrence Seaway and our public health care program. All this stopped in 1974 when the Bank of International Settlements gave the order. Please check out the Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform and the lawsuit launched in December 2011 for more details. Most of our current debt is to private banks and most of that is because of compound interest.
