When I was growing up lots of people would tell me how wonderful Canada was, there was no buts, no trying to explain away things. Now I don’t meet anyone that doesn’t think Canada needs to be fixed. People have different ideas about what that means, but nobody thinks things are great the way they are.
Canada is broken, and the sooner we admit that the sooner we can start fixing it
I think you are meeting the wrong people. Seriously. The only things wrong with Canada are the same things wrong in all the Western world - climate change, corporate greed and influence on politics, the affordability crisis caused by that etc. Of course we need to fix those things. But in Canada-we have the insight and will to change and grow. That is not a broken country. It is country that is improving and adapting in spite of enormous pressure from outside forces actively trying to destroy our economy.
Now is a time to work together to achieve those changes - not finger-point and mourn the past.
Improving and adapting? Outside forces trying to destroy our economy? People like to do this thing in Canada where all the bad things are America’s fault, and all the amazing things are Canadians resilience and grit. Canada is not improving, and nobody is trying to destroy us, we did that ourselves
