Sure, those are some of them. But it's a big umbrella.
This government spent nearly the same amount, annually, on reconciliation ($2.5b) as it did the rcmp ($3.5b).
What do you think the results from that vast amount of money have/will be? Think about that honestly for a second.
It's only one example.
You know, it boggles my mind that we live in this country of such mass, so sparsely populated, so rich with natural resources, and yet the average Canadian is stretched financially, overloaded with debt. Something doesn't add up.

Just to name a few.

Basically, he's the only candidate running on a free market platform. He's also the only candidate not looking to our number one trading partner with hostility.
Foreign investment has been plummeting in this country since Trudeau. That much we know. What's not documented is how many businesses and firms are heading south for a much more favorable climate. I'd imagine that number to be very high though.
It's pretty frustrating to see this happening while our current PM focuses on BS gender and racial disparities.

I'm not disillusioned though. I'm fairly certain we'll be stuck with another four years of Trudeau. As painful as that is to admit. But like i said, voting my conscience.
By 2023 we'll be so screwed that we'll be ready to vote for someone with some semblance to sanity. By then, Bernier will have gained enough popularity, IMO.
