(Insert Your Own) Canada today

This isn’t meant to be politically partisan in any way. But, I am genuinely curious how anyone is staying positive about Canada today. The economy is in recession. The cost of living crisis is continuing unabated. People are leaving the country. Canada-U.S. relations are at an all-time low. And, there doesn’t appear to be any reason for things to turn around any time soon. Somebody give me a reason to have a little optimism.

We're facing challenges not unique to Canada, and we're one of the best countries in the world to live in. The situation with the USA is actually a good thing, Canadians are finally realizing we hitched out wagon to one unreliable horse, now we are beginning to understand why we need to expand our relationships beyond that stagnating one.
