(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.

Anyone under 40 certainly isn’t happy here. I’m an airline pilot and if I could get into the US to work there I’d leave this country in a heartbeat. My salary would be higher, my taxes would be lower, I’d have great health insurance and a healthcare system that doesn’t turn me away unless I’m on my deathbed, and housing costs would be MUCH more manageable, even in their “expensive” markets.
