Secret police report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are under Trudeau as ‘many under 35s are unlikely ever to buy a home’
Police have warned Canada’s leaders they will struggle to contain anger over the deteriorating economy and the generational rebellion of young people who will never be able to buy a home.
The secret report from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police paints an apocalyptic picture of the future of America’s northern neighbor, predicting that the country will be torn apart by economic crisis, ecological collapse and territorial disintegration.
The report has caused an uproar in the Great White North after a heavily redacted version was released following a lengthy request for access to information by a Canadian academic.
The Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada, described by the authors as a “scanning exercise,” warns that the trucker convoy protests that polarized the country in 2022 could be the precursor to an increasingly becomes more polarized by ‘conspiracy theories’. and paranoia’.

“For example, it is unlikely that many Canadians under the age of 35 will ever be able to purchase a place to live.
‘The consequences of this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the fact that the gap between the extremes of wealth is now greater than at any time in several generations.’
The report was prepared last year to provide “special operational information” to senior officers in the RCMP and “decision makers” in the federal government.
And it warns that Canada’s prospects are “likely to deteriorate further over the next five years.”
“Law enforcement must reckon with ongoing social and political polarization, fueled by disinformation campaigns and increasing distrust of all democratic institutions,” the report notes.
The protests against the ‘Freedom Convoy’ mobilized millions of people opposed to long-serving Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Originally started by Canadian truckers opposing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border drivers, they became a rallying point for separatists and complaints about living standards.

The truck drivers flew the Canadian flag, waved banners demanding “freedom” and chanted slogans against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Thousands of other protesters joined the truckers, angry not only over COVID-19 restrictions but also broader dissatisfaction with the government.

‘Shrinking polar ice caps provide access to untapped raw materials and new transport options.
“This new opportunity for profit is causing several countries to expand their territorial claims in the area,” which the report says will lead to “increasing pressure to cede Arctic territory.”
And alongside gloomy predictions about the impact of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, there are warnings about what they call the ‘erosion of trust’.
“Over the past seven years there has been marked social and political polarization in the Western world,” the report claims.

Analysts say owning a home has become impossible for nearly a record number of Canadians, as only 26 percent of households can now afford a single-family home.
