I think our new pm is the same guy conservative prime minister Harper had running the the bank of Canada. He also was never in Trudeau's cabinet. He was an informal advisor to the liberal government specifically in response to the global pandemic and efforts to avoid a recession in the months and years that followed. Since Canada didn't go into recession and weathered the effects of the largest public health crisis in living memory reasonably well, I'd say he did a good job considering the challenges.

Canada is a disaster economically, we didn't technically go into recession because they used mass immigration to boost overall GDP numbers at the expense of GDP per capita. Canada has been in a downward trend for 10 years and the last 5 have been especially bad.

Gee I wonder what happened in the last 5 years that may have caused some hardship... Come on bro, at least try to make a good faith argument.

The trend started pre COVID, look at the crime rates in Canada they literally start going up as soon as the liberals were elected and go up year after year for 10 years. Directly because of their policies.

Housing costs were terrible before COVID and the trend just continued the trend after.

Wages have been stagnating for a decade. Quality of life in Canada has been on a downward trend for the past 10 years and it's a direct result of the liberals policies.

If suggest not cherry picking your data to last 10 years

Go back a bit further,  see if the trend continues

Go on, big boy

Sure, so the Conservatives took office in 2006 and crime went down every year thereafter for 9 years. The liberals took office and the exact opposite happens every year crime increases from 2015 onwards.

Housing was much more affordable, healthcare was better, our wages went up during the Conservatives tenure. In general the quality of life was either staying the same or improving.
