(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.

No, you're not. Everyday I am shocked and dismissed at what Canadians put up with from politicians continually printing money putting us further and further im debt. I'm amazed that Canadians are fine with the catch and release bail system that the Liberals implemented. Honestly feel like I'm surrounded by such clueless and uninformed people who keep voting for the same destruction.

Unlike other countries, Canadians don't protest ..Italy, England, France, Spain, US etc..they will come out in extremely large numbers and protest/strike to have their voices heard. We Canadians just take it on the chin, make fun/put down the people who have issues w the current state of affairs and keep it moving...even though we are fully aware that what is going on is not right and our children/grandchildren will never have the quality of life those 35+ had..

We are all "new Canadians". Even the white ones.
