There's an old time-tested adage that one can tell plenty about a civilization by the way it treats its sick and elderly. This wisdom carries even more weight in modern-day Canada, as it is estimated that the so-called Baby Boomer generation that appeared at the conclusion of WWII will, by the year 2015, be senior citizens aged 65 years or older, a point only made troubling by the fact that it is predicted that these elder statesmen will actually outnumber Canada' youth population aged 14 years of age or younger. It is thought that by the year 2036, approximately 25 per cent of Canada's population will be categorized as senior citizens. Like it or not, there is no escaping the fact that Canada is getting older.
