A NEW CLASS WAR COMES TO CANADA

This year, it's Canada's turn to live in Young's slightly dystopian scenario set in the 2030s, but here it is ahead of schedule.  On one side of the truck driver's protest is Justin Trudeau, a condensed symbol that transforms Meritocracy into an aristocrat.  Not only does it have a degree from two of Canada's top three universities, but it also has a pedigree of being the son of Pierre Trudeau.  He pays more attention to public health advice on Covid than in the United States and imposes stricter restrictions on the entire pandemic.  

A working-class uprising in Canada

Meanwhile, there is a truck driver and his allies.  A complex collection of French yellow vest-style troops, some organized by rights, but not only the pandemic restrictions and the manipulation of words and symbols on the screen, but also the physical part of the economics: A strong connection to the part that depends on courage and wisdom.

The division is not always one of money: Plenty of Practicals do very well for themselves while plenty of Virtuals scrape along on, say, graduate-students stipends or middling think-tank salaries.  But the class divide between the two categories is clear, and so is the gap between their respective influence over the central nodes of Western power.
