Canada is broken. And it's not the Liberals fault.
Canada
IS broken, but I have to respectfully but violently disagree with you on who's fault it is.
It is 100% the Liberal's fault. (In my opinion, anyway...)
...
The Liberal government has been at the helm for the past 10 years. I have a hard time blaming anybody but them for our current troubles - although I will lump the NDP in with them.
Getting rid of a points based and merit based immigration system in favour of mass unvetted immigration was their idea. The citizenry certainly didn't get a say.
They've made it near impossible for kids born in Canada to get entry level jobs in Canada because a lot of those businesses prefer to hire temporary foreign workers for less money instead. The citizenry certainly weren't asked if they wanted their immigration policies changed.
They promised the most transparent government in Canadian history, and then became anything but once in power.
They even prorogued Parliament because the House of Commons was ground to a halt until the Liberals handed over documents to the RCMP - which they were so reluctant to do they actually chose to prorogue parliament instead.
(I know Lumber explained the whole thing, twice - and Lumber I absolutely DO believe that the general bsckgrounder to what you said was probably accurate. But the RCMP wouldn't have been involved and requesting documents if there was nothing to see there, especially if those funds go out annually.)
There was some kind of fishy business going on there, the police wouldn't have gotten involved if there wasn't.
And if there truly wasn't anything fishy happening, a simple explanation from the responsible Cabinet member or senior beaurucrat probably would have sufficed & it wouldn't have hit the news in the first place.
(That's what my gut tells me anyway, maybe I'm wrong...)
Anyways moving on...
They've corrupted the corporate media with their media subsidies to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
How critical is the media really going to be when it's the government essentially paying them their paycheques & their bonuses?)
(Don't even get me started on the CBC and their bulls**t...)
They've doubled the national debt to the point where our interest payments on our debt are now larger than provincial health transfers.
And the scary thing is they are spending
even more now than they did under Trudeau...
And on what, exactly?
Whatever it is they are spending all this money on, is it worth having interest payments larger than our provincial health transfers?
When does the line on the government spending graph start to move downwards? Or does it ever?
When does that line intersect with the 'not sustainable' line on the graph?
(At this rate, it can't even start to go downwards until there is a fundamental shift in government. The government can't treat a capitalist economy as if it's a socialist economy & expect great results. They also can't expect to tax the hell out of Canadians forever if they do everything they can to limit & destroy Canadian industries/jobs)
41k job losses JUST IN JULY ALONE...
Employment fell by 41,000 (-0.2%) in July and the employment rate declined 0.2 percentage points to 60.7%. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.9%.

I could literally go on with another half dozen examples just off the top of my head, and that's without really even thinking about it.
The subsidy-funded going on & on because the US has put tariffs on the whopping 6% of our trade with them that isn't covered under CUSMA (NAFTA 2.0) while totally ignoring the very justified reason for those tariffs is another example of how the LPC has broken Canada.
...
$10 a day daycare? $10 a day daycare at the same time they are allowing mass unvetted immigration into the country? I mean come on people...
How about free or partially covered dental care for all? (Well, only for those of you peasants who make less than 6-figures a year...which is the vast majority of us)
Believe me, I need some serious dental work these days. I got kicked in the jaw a while back which cracked a few teeth, that have subsequently & painfully since come out. I'm working on it. My point here is I could absolutely use the free dental care if I didn't have a plan through work - but even if I didn't, I wouldn't want the country to go into even more debt to pay for it. Especially at a time when the country is broke
Sorry Halifax!! The above rant isn't aimed at you!!
All that just to say "I respectfully disagree..."
