Man, did Justin Trudeau ever screw up this country. Man this article is something.Spinning a decline in happiness amongst younger people especially to a rise in social media use and then pushing for more censorship & regulations in that space.Maybe some link there but it's more to do with jobs not keeping up with cost of living as house prices, food, education, insurance etc costs rose far faster than wages. Actually it is the same here in Australia, but i would argue worse due to the Middle east war since we import 90% of our oil and the majority of that initially passes through Hormuz.Talk of 50% rise in food prices, fuel rationing will likely start within 2-3 weeks.Honestly i believe you are better in Canada than here or New Zealand. | ||

When I was growing up Hazel Mccallion was the Mayor, Mike Harris was the Premier and Jean Chretien was the Prime Minister. All 3 of these people are 23487992378X better than their replacements. Mississauga looks like a warzone. Hazel Mccallion was mayor for 36 years and took the city from a population of 270,000 to over 700,000. She is probably the greatest mayor in Canadian history. She won 90%+ of the popular vote in several elections. During Jean Chretien's time as PM Canada's standard of living rose by 24%. Mike Harris got re elected with the biggest popular vote in Ontario history. I grew up under the best leadership Canada has ever seen. THere is absolutely no comparison between Canada in 2000 and Canada today. Anyhow , I moved 90 minutes down the highway to upstate New York, USA. I'm glad I left. Working people in upstate New York live a much better life than the working people in south western Ontario, Canada just a 20 minute drive north west. All this said, I didn't think Canada would fall so far .. so fast. Canada's population is declining, birthrates are 1.3 and declining, and MAID (medical assistance in dying) is flourishing. MAID is so popular they changed how the stats are collected to obfuscate the ugly truth. It is dystopian. | ||

Yeah AUS does a whole lot better with minimum wage tho as far as I know? Calgary's minimum wage is around 15 CAD, compared to Brisbane's 25 AUD, with Calgary's rent being 1400/m for 1bedroom, and Brisbane being around 400/w or 2000/m for 1bed. I dunno. Obviously different economies and we're both fucking huge countries with relatively small populations. The fact that we don't import as much of our oil certainly helps us, though the parts of Australia I've been to I've enjoyed greatly. | ||
