Canada has some quantifiable failures over the last 9 years with this government, as well as the 156 years or whatever it's been before that, but what REAL differences to you expect the government to manage that can happen completely independent of the global economy, widening inequality, climate issues etc.
We really don't have the money and power to make things as different as you think they will be. You might sleep cozier at night because PP tells guys they can't have tampons, but I really am interested to hear what you think a party without a platform will accomplish when they won't even tell you.

Of course we have the money to fix these issues. There’s just no will when everyone in govt. needs to scratch the private sectors back to secure their board job once they leave public office.
No one is ever going to fix these issues however, there certainly was opportunity in the past to do so, and those opportunities were never taken and mostly completely neglected until they became an emergency.
In regards to your first statement, anecdotally I know 3 couples who got their PR here and ultimately moved back to where they came from for the sake of affordability and lifestyle. Two from Ireland, one from the states.
What you never seem to say is that when you make 100k a year, and your home is 600k. LIFE itself is far more sustainable and easier than when you make 100k and you’re shit box 1br apartment is 1.5 million. Again, a mishandled housing sector which only benefited the ultra rich and pushed whole segments of our population into poverty.
You don’t have to go live in other places to realize life is easier and the standard of living is MUCH better in other comparable places.
Did you read that food bank article? A double digit increase in people who can’t even see a fucking doctor here over a single year. We’re a joke.
The irony of all of this is that back when Canada was actually in a good place, I found myself defending it here over people who kept spewing out some bullshit like “iTs NoT a woRLD cLAsS cITy lIkE hK!!”
And now that Canada is turning into complete shit, people defending it for the sake of the govt. they voted for lol.. GG
Edit* and this isn’t just opinion. Look at the numbers of the mass exodus from Canada. People don’t even care whether it’s better or not elsewhere, or if they’ve experienced life elsewhere and KNOW it’s better, they are willing to take a risk and move somewhere else blind, that’s where we are at.
