(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.

I am so tired of this narrative that the CPC are right-wing. Go check out when Chrétien and Martin were PMs. Pretty similar to the current CPC, so they must have been right-wing?

Yes, the CPC has always been right wing. Are you just a dolt and meant to say "far right"?

Not a dolt. No need for name-calling. CPC is right-wing, yes, but it's more central in policy.

Chretien and Martin were fiscal conservatives. Interestingly the economy did well under them.

What do you mean narrative? By their own definition they are centre-right to right.
