Not red. Not blue. Something new.
The future is not what it used to be.
Independent Candidate · University-Rosedale · 2026
Canada holds $777 billion in pension wealth. 85% is invested outside the country — toll roads in Australia, rental developments in Korea, infrastructure in Texas. Meanwhile, youth unemployment has hit 14.7%, the highest in 15 years outside a pandemic. Housing is structurally unaffordable. University graduates face an economy that doesn't value their credentials.
The system is working exactly as designed. The design is the problem.
CGCD-50 proposes returning capital to Canadian graduates whose families paid into CPP — a dividend on contributions already made. Your parents paid in. Some never collected. That surplus built infrastructure on the other side of the world. It's time to bring it home.
For Canadian graduates whose families contributed to CPP. Tied to housing, business startup, skills training, or debt elimination. This is a dividend on contributions already made — not new spending, not a grant. Governed by graduates themselves.
Annually for under-35s. Market rent for 10 years, then automatic ownership. Built with repatriated pension capital.
In Canadian companies with requirements for entry-level and apprenticeship positions. Real work, not another task force.
Quebec figured this out sixty years ago. The Caisse de dépôt et placement: $473 billion managed, $93 billion reinvested at home. Dual mandate — generate returns AND invest domestically. The only G7 jurisdiction that believed in its own people. The framework exists. The capital exists. What's been missing is the willingness to trust Canadians with their own money.
People ask: what about housing? What about healthcare? What about mental health? The answer: what do you think happens when an entire generation gets the capital to build? They buy homes. They stay in Canada. They start businesses that hire. They pay the taxes that fund hospitals. They sleep at night. CGCD-50 isn't one policy — it's the first domino. You don't fix a country programme by programme. You fix it by trusting your people with capital and watching what they build.
A graduate with $50,000 has a down payment. They're not competing with their parents for rental stock. They're buying, building, contributing to property tax bases that fund local services. You don't solve the housing crisis with another government programme. You solve it by giving a generation the capital to participate.
When young people have capital, they start businesses, pay taxes, and fund the healthcare system that serves their parents and grandparents. Every nurse, doctor, and PSW who stays in Canada instead of leaving for opportunities elsewhere is a healthcare worker still treating your mother. CGCD-50 is a retention strategy disguised as a cheque.
Financial stress is the number one driver of anxiety, depression, and crisis among young Canadians. You don't need a therapist to tell you that $87,000 in student debt causes sleepless nights. Removing that weight isn't a mental health programme on paper, but it's the most effective mental health intervention this country could make.
When a generation has capital, they build businesses, pay taxes, and create the economy everyone else depends on. Their CPP contributions built this surplus. Some of their loved ones died before collecting a penny. That money went to build toll roads in Australia. Returning it to their children and grandchildren honours the contribution already made.
Policy papers get filed. Songs get shared. Every track below was written for this campaign because the conversation about Canada's future deserves more than talking points.
Names 25+ Canadian communities. From Gander to Saskatoon, Halifax to Nanaimo. $1.9 billion leaves Canada every day. We checked the math. The math didn't match.
Listen →For the generation that did everything right and got locked out anyway. They don't need our permission. They never did. Step aside or step up.
Listen →A country storyteller's account of a political system that forgot who it serves. Parliament debates lettuce. A woman writes policy. Your move, gentlemen.
Listen →An English-speaking Canadian who finally understood what Quebec built — and why the rest of Canada should have been listening all along. Merci, Québec.
Listen →Parliament is debating grocery store surveillance. Meanwhile: 14.7% youth unemployment. We noticed. We wrote a song about it.
Coming Soon →They told her to pick a lane. She built the whole road. A smoky jazz vocal that proves intelligence and magnetism were never mutually exclusive.
Listen →Three tools. One makes you think. One makes you play. One makes you heard. All three prove that $777 billion shouldn't be building airports in Dubai while Canadian graduates sleep in their cars.
Enter your situation. See how $50,000 would change your life. Months of rent covered. Debt eliminated. A business started. Real numbers. Your numbers.
Calculate YoursPension dollars are flying overseas. Catch the receipts. Redirect the capital. Beat the clock. Then see how fast Canada sends that money back out.
Play NowThree quick questions. Whether you're a displaced worker, a student, or a community member — tell us what Canada's future should look like. Your postal code. Your voice.
Take the SurveyNo script. No speechwriter. No teleprompter. Just Angela, talking about why this matters.
I'm Angela Lindow, and I'm running as an independent candidate in University-Rosedale because the conversation about Canada's future has been too narrow for too long.
I'm not here to litigate the past. I'm here to build a bridge to the future. The capital exists. The talent exists. The model has been proven in Quebec for sixty years. What's been missing is the willingness to trust Canadians with their own money.
I wrote six songs because policy papers get filed and songs get shared. I built a calculator because people deserve to see their own numbers. I coded a game because engagement beats another press release. This is what a modern campaign looks like. Not red. Not blue. Something new.
