Canada is broken.
That was true before U.S. President Donald Trump started threatening Canada with tariffs and annexation, and it’s true now.
We can’t build things in this country. We can’t defend ourselves. We’ve lost control of our immigration system. Our violent crime rates are getting worse. Our courts are overburdened. Our productivity is poor. Child poverty rates are creeping up. Food bank usage has reached record highs. Housing costs are exorbitant. Canadians can’t get timely health care, or health care at all. And yet our spending is out of control. We can argue about the semantics, but that sounds pretty broken to me.
