The serious class warfare in Canada isn't between the wealthy or the self employed or the middle class but is between those working for government and those who are not. I am a retired professional who wasn't able to enter the workforce until my late 20's after 9 years of university to attain my degree.  I then worked huge hours to start and finance my practice and support 8 employees.  Holidays were very few and far between.  I finally retired in my mid 70's and hope that I've saved enough and invested wisely enough to support my wife and myself.  Meanwhile I've watched teachers and other civil servants take month long (or longer) holidays, have fully funded health and dental benefits,  sick days and of course fully funded indexed pension plans. I watched many retire in their mid to late 50's.
