Justin Trudeau's leadership has faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID crisis, leading to a loss of confidence among Canadians from various backgrounds.
I’ve lived in Canada my whole life and lived comfortably up until Covid hit. After the pandemic everything went completely out of whack. My grocery bill tripled, the cost of everything exploded, and we’re experiencing a housing apocalypse (crisis isn’t the correct word anymore). Canada is basically 3 corporations in a trench coat and we’re heading in all the wrong directions.
What we need is a complete housing rugpull and to kneecap grocery chains or to increase wages to keep up with corporate greed but I don’t think thats going to happen. I’ve also seen a bunch of anti-worker policies become popular in general like leaning on contract/part time work so employers don’t have to pay out benefits and pensions. I could go on and on about that lol. Anyway a lot of people I know straight up left the country and get paid way more to do less work and live in much more affordable conditions, I myself might be doing that soon. Basically its a lot of short-sighted thinking resulting in massive brain drain where I work. I think most of our problems stem from unchecked corporate greed across every industry and we have to put up with it because most major companies operate in a duopoly. I’m not an expert but thats my take. its time for a MAJOR course-correction.
100% true, and the fact that Shaw just got rolled into Rogers in the middle of anti-monopolist popular fervor is pretty depressing. The grocery industry is absolutely vile. Trudeau was acceptable and mostly made reasonable choices but my God I’d vote for anyone who forwarded stronger antitrust legislation and rulings.
Fucking Pierre ain’t gonna do it, the Cons always end up pushing legislation to get cushy megacorp board positions after their terms are up. Jagmeet seems more interested in fucking around than doing anything, and Trudeau was palatable but failed to tackle the monopolists at all.
Insanity to me how much the corpos own our country and how none of the parties seem to care.
Thats what I find so frustrating! If I were the NDP right now I’d be going all out with ads and a plan of action! I want to hear something different for once instead of maintaining the status quo. They have a golden opportunity to leap frog over the libs and get some momentum. We’ve been complaining about the same issues over and over for years, you’d think at least someone would try to leverage that! I hope they don’t just roll over and let pierre waltz into the leadership position I can’t stand that guy at all!
Right? But no Jagmeet’s gonna do the Conservative team up no one asked for and vote no confidence! PP’s ideas are just dumb and the Liberals seem hell bent on ignoring the monopolistic cancer that’s finally metastasized over the past 5 years after lurking for the past 30.
I’d vote for anyone that said they’d force a breakup of Loblaws, Safeway and others.
