A secret report conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) sheds light on the grave crises that Canada is facing, most of which have already begun to detrimentally affect Canadian society. 

According to a report by The Daily Mail, Canadian authorities are grappling with economic crisis, ecological meltdown, and territorial disintegration. Recently, a heavily redacted version of the RCMP report was revealed to the public following an access-to-information request by a Canadian academic.

What the RCMP described as a "scanning exercise" turned out to be an in-depth assessment of both societal and environmental calamities in the North American country. 

The Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada warned of the trucker' convoy protests back in 2022, which were fueled by conspiracy theories on COVID-19 vaccines, amid the federal and local governments' impotent policies to meet the demands of Canadian workers. The report points out that the event may just be a precursor for a Canada polarized by "conspiracy theories and paranoia."

In detail, the report was issued last year to provide "special operational information" for senior RCMP officers and officials in the federal government. 

"Law enforcement should expect continuing social and political polarization fueled by misinformation campaigns and an increasing mistrust for all democratic institutions."

Justin Trudeau's government was forced to deploy Canada's Emergencies Act to deal with the "Freedom Convoy" protests, in which several key roads linking the country to the United States were shut down by protesters for around three weeks. The events, as underlined in the report, saw extreme polarization within Canadian society, which persists to this day. 

Moreover, the report warns decision-makers and senior officials of what it dubbed the "erosion of trust."

"The past seven years have seen marked social and political polarization in the Western world," it asserts.

Canada's worsening economic conditions 

Those who conducted the report also highlighted a decline in living standards, accelerated by recession, which mainly targets younger generations. 

"For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live," the report underlined.

Cautioning against such a phenomenon, the report says that the decline's effects will be exacerbated by the extreme wealth gaps in society, which is "greater now than it has been at any time in several generations."

The report says that homeownership has become impossible for a near-record number of Canadians, as just 26% of households are now able to afford a single-family home in the country. In particular, the report warns against the situation in Vancouver, Victoria, and Toronto, where costs are "sky-high".

"Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax also face challenging affordability conditions," it adds.

Importantly, it says that Canada's prospects "will probably deteriorate further in the next five years."

Shrinking polar caps and territorial claims

Climate change and rising global temperatures have had a double-edged effect on Canada. The report points to shrinking ice caps, which are providing access to untapped raw materials and new paths for transportation. 

However, this has also resulted in an opportunity for profit, which the analysts believe will cause multiple countries to expand their territorial claims in the region. 

It also said that Canada's North is getting hotter at least three times faster than the global average.

Finally, the report concludes with a "next steps" section that has not been made available for public access spurring speculation about the government's future plans.
