What the hell is wrong with Canada? Everything I've heard out of there for the past year or more has been horrible.

We're in quite the state up here. One of our biggest problems is that Conservatives rule in many provinces, another problem is leakage of American conservatism up north, and a third problem is our PM is deeply unpopular despite, and I am willing to defend this, being one of the best PM's the country has had in my lifetime (40 years). It doesn't matter that one could fill a book with the PM's accomplishments, the guy has been tuned out by the population and honestly needs to retire. He has been around long enough to have accumulated enough ill will that he drags his party down, my party, and I hate saying it but I feel like he has to go before we end up with a conservative blowout and all the progress of the last decade is erased in just four years.

Mood.

Very well summarized.

Same as the US. The rise of fascism. The Fords have always been insane, though.

We've got jealous of how wild things get in the USA and we had to step up our ridiculous policies to keep fitting in

Maybe just Ontario? Though there does seem to be a common recurring theme in Canada these last few decades where its easier to not take action and say we tried everything, rather then taking action and solve problems.

Its always easier to take no action and not upset one group or another, zero-sum game, as opposed to take action and have a small group upset at the end result.

In both cases the Canadian in charge of the action, or inaction, says β€œSorry, eh”.

We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.
