No place for the young

LOOK around. This country is fast becoming one big retirement home. The oldies are everywhere ... they dominate golf clubs, bridge clubs, afternoon classes and card games at night.

All at once it appears the young — those still here — are the new poor. They’re leaving the country in their droves for Canada and Australia.

I suggest some of our sedentary TDs might occupy themselves analysing the demographics.

It really is no country for young men.
