Can our elected officials become #GenFairnessChampions?

In this episode of the Hard Truths podcast, co-hosts Umair Muhammad and Angie Chan chat with Paul Kershaw about the campaign Gen Squeeze recently launched to have elected officials pledge to be #GenFairnessChampions. We discuss what the purpose of the campaign is, why an intergenerational lens would benefit our politics, as well as about the short-term tactics and the long-term strategy Gen Squeeze hopes will help to create a political culture in which generational fairness is taken seriously.

Note: The #GenFairnessChampions campaign launched on October 12. We intended to publish this episode on that day but didn't get it out in time.

You can learn more about the campaign (and about the elected officials who've already taken the pledge) here: https://www.gensqueeze.ca/pledge
