Canada is broken! Study finds 67% of Canadians agree with Pierre Poilievre

"67% of Canadians agree with the statement made by a Canadian politician who stated that ‘it feels like everything is broken in this country right now’,” Leger Marketing wrote in February 4th website post examining their findings.

“68% of Canadians report that rising costs and inflation/interest rates are most important when it comes to the issues impacting them and their families,” the survey noted.A majority of Canadians looking at the country they see around them say everything seems to be broken," Humphrey wrote, poignantly adding, "half of us are also angry about the way Canada is being run."Humprey also noted that a higher percentage of women agreed that Canada was broken while Canadians in the East and West were the most likely to agree that things in Canada felt broken—a bad omen for Justin Trudeau as rumors of a 2023 election rise. Over the last year, consumers have seen year-over-year inflation rates that are the highest they’ve been in more than four decades. The increase in 2022 was a 40-year high, the largest increase since 1982,” according to Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index Annual Review for 2022."

Is Canada really broken or it the neoliberal model that is broken?

Trudeau comes across as a likeable middle of the road politician with a few, for lack of a better word, 'woke' policies to appeal to the left leaning people of Canada while still pandering to the corporations and the money men that actually run politics across the world. Austerity, deindustrialisation, cut backs and privatisation has led to lack of job security and wages failing to keep pace with the cost of living for many families across the country. Sound familiar?

Supporting one or two headline policies that could be classed as progressive doesn't put food on the table and people are likely to move away from those progressive instincts if something doesn't improve. The only problem is that the alternatives in the Conservative party of Canada are just as likely to double down on neoliberalism, which will lead to further cutbacks to social programs and more groups being pulled down.

The Tories have pretty much sold off everything that this country once owned and the same thing is happening all over the world to a greater or lesser extent. The vast majority of those once viable businesses and services are now in the hands of people that don't care about anything but the bottom line.

Neoliberalism is all about small government, deregulation, cutting red tape and reducing the role of government in the economy. However if the government don't take care of the weak, the vulnerable, the poor or the sick are the corporations that only value the bottom line likely to take over that responsibility? Certainly not willingly and not without cost. That cost will be borne by their customers (you and me) and not by their shareholders.

Unfortunately we have an opposition led by a very weak leader. Starmer knows that he is weak and vulnerable, so is putting in place systems that make it difficult to remove him. The NEC is packed with Starmer supporters, those on the left of the Labour party are being forced out, some like me are feeling disenfranchised and more likely to vote for a smaller party like the Greens who at least have some socialist policies. The problem is that every vote that doesn't go to Labour next time leaves the door open for the Tories to hang on to power. Labour under Starmer will just continue with a slightly watered down neoliberal agenda and f*** all will improve until the Tories get back in and double down again.

I ask again is Canada really broken or is it something else, something much bigger?
