Remembering my aunts and uncles from my childhood, a lot of the older people today don’t seem to have as much energy – I come from the US.

I’ve noticed people can be erratic and easily agitated now. Almost everyone I know in their 40s and 50s is angry all the time. Heavy drinking. Not able to process new information very well.

My uncle had a kid at 50 and played with her non-stop. I don’t know anyone capable of that now.

Am I the only one seeing this?

    Just moved from Seattle to Vancouver, BC and I can absolutely say this is correct. People are more relaxed here, friendlier, there’s more resources, less stress… People in Canada aren’t constantly in fight or flight mode like we are in the US.
