And please don’t come back with that drivel of “everywhere’s bad!!!” There are plenty of first world countries doing perfectly fine, if not better than a decade ago both financially and politically. And in many of those countries homelessness isn’t rampant and you don’t wait 8 months to see a doctor for an ear infection.

Canada has not been doing well over the last 8 years. This has been well-documented in a lot of global surveys. There have been lots of reporting on how Canada has fallen behind in various world rankings in different categories while other countries move ahead.
Can Trudeau and Libs be blamed for this? Objectively speaking, I'd say yes for some, and no for others. In particular, I'd say Canada handled the COVID economic impact really well bcos Turd was not shy nor stingy in giving money out (to its own citizens).
The Canadian system has a lot of bureaucracy and inefficiencies that are detrimental to economic growth. Kleenex and Dellissio bailing out of the Canadian market are examples of those inefficiencies, and you can't really blame those on Turd. It is true that he didn't do enough to get rid of those bureaucracy and inefficiency, but a lot of it is beyond his control as well.
To the average voter, of course, this is not going to matter. Even when it is the CoV that is holding you back from getting a new detached home building permit issued quickly, a lot of people are still going to blame Turd for not making housing affordable or easy.
