A lot of the soft on crime reform by the feds has a direct result to the state we are in today imo. The DTES may be a provincial issue but homelessness is becoming rampant Canada wide. I’m not scared for my safety or anything to that extent, but Canada as a whole has been in a pretty obvious decline even before the pandemic.
I think it’s combination of both provincial and federal governments just fucking things up but we have parties leading provinces from every side of the political spectrum. The constant has been the federal liberals.

There's no game to be played because the fundamentals are there and that's the result we are seeing. There's no if because it is exactly what would have happened. What the others say about social media is a big one. No gov't would have the ability overturn the division caused by people only wanting to talk to like-minded and becoming a reinforcement loop. You calling it a what if game is imo rejecting reality and playing the what if game the other way.
I don't believe for a second that JT is the one to fix it, he occasionally has ideas but doesn't have the politcal will to go through with things. But no one else really does either as forward thinking a lot times is political suicide. Everyone is into short term gratification, and we see the exact samethings in the corporate world because shareholder equity means you stay in power, at the expense of corporate future development. Shareholder payouts are king, just like in voting, the majority's immediate benefit is king.
