Empty shelves where Children’s medication should be

Health Canada says it’s importing a foreign supply of children’s pain and fever medications that will be available on retail shelves in the coming weeks.
The agency had previously announced it was importing children’s acetaminophen and ibuprofen to be distributed to hospitals.

Also, Tylenol and Advil have been available in adult form. They can be administered to children as well, although the dosage needs to be matched to the child's weight.
Insane wait times for cancer patients/testing
Dude, the whole world has been under COVID since 2020. Omicron didn't appear until about Nov 2021, and only really became dominant in the Jan/Feb 2022 time frame. Before that, delta, alpha, and the original wild type were all kind of serious.
Granted, cancer treatment wait times weren't good before COVID, but it wasn't disastrously bad either. If you want to find someone to blame, I think it is far more appropriate to blame all the idiots that mistreat our medical staff.
24 hour ER wait times
See above. Also, healthcare is both a federal and a provincial issue.
People can’t afford groceries.
This is actually something I kind of agree with. Our current inflation problems are not being well addressed -- I have mentioned elsewhere on RS that I think it is a mistake to mostly only rely on BoC and interest rate hiking in attempt to rein in inflation because much of our inflationary problem is caused by supply chain issues.
At the same time, food inflation is also caused by labour shortages and climate change. I can't remember how many times I've read from the news this year that the farmers don't have enough farm hand to help with harvest, and then they had to let some of the crops go bad. Climate change is a much bigger issue than just federal -- it is both local and global. For example, it baffles me that (Doug) Ford is wanting to fast-track carve land out of the Greenbelt to build housing when those lands are ecologically important, and it baffles me that Ontarians aren't in a bigger uproar than they are to protest the suggestion.
Policing and our revolving door court system is more of a local + provincial issue. And while I totally agree with the courts having judicial independence, I also think our politicians are too cautious in not meddling with our judicial system when it has been clearly failing for some extended period of time.

Out of control inflation with no other answer than to raise interest rates, destroy that middle class!
And health care funding.
It’s obviously not JT who is individually responsible yes, however it is the direct responsibility of his party and his supporters.

There is no defending of the position Canada is in right now.

The system is broken, and it is clear that Turdeau is not the answer to fix it. However, I'd say that to think Poilievre is the answer, or even just a better problem than Turdeau -- that would be a major mistake. As bad as Turdeau is, Poilievre is only going to make things worse, and I am speaking as somebody that leans right of center.
