Who will constitute the middle class when 98% of transportation, manufacturing, retail, front-line (e.g. grocery store stockists), telephone operators, and myriad other things are automated? Why do you think there will be a middle class? What does "more access to capital and labour" mean in that context?
This is a really myopic perspective, in my view - you seem to think that throughout our lifetimes societal norms and structures will continue much as they have been for the past 70-odd years, but there's every reason to think the opposite.

The middle class ideally will be composed of small business owners and people employed in technology and service sectors. Canada has natural resources, which produces energy and material, there will always be some degree of employment there too.
it's hilarious that you're accusing me of not seeing the future or change, when I'm stressing Canada's technology and innovation sector. A bloated government that provides free money to it's constituents is hardly a new idea. It's been tried repeatedly and on various scales for the last 100 years, and always ends up with the same result. Canada needs to foster innovation and access to resources. Anything else is counter-productive.
