How is the country going right now? (self.conservative)

I've seen some random videos of Tucker saying that suicides are way up, economy is way down, addiction and crime are rampant and the cost of living is insanity where nobody can really thrive in this environment.

On the otherside, inflation is slowing, people are working and it feels we're slowly getting back to some normalcy.

What's your personal perspective on how life is right now/since 2020? Is that the biggest factor for determining who you will vote for in 2024?

I apologize, reddit is a pretty US dominated site, especially the 'conservative' subs. But I'm fine discussing any country you're in, I didn't intend for it to be international but that'd be good having different perspectives!

Haha no worries bud, just kinda busting your balls a bit there.

Personally I'm Canadian, although different countries our politics seem to shift and mesh quite a bit from my experiences.

I'm not currently a fan of Canada's liberal leaning leadership, and there's been a lot of negatives since 2020 from my perspective and opinion. I don't think the pandemic was handled very well economically speaking, and continued restrictions and taxes being pushed out after has/is impacting certain trades and agricultural sectors in a direction I don't agree with.

I do agree with some of their more social decisions however.

Cost of living is running rampant ( from a western Canada perspective), but wages are stagnant for the most part. I think we're still a ways off from a more normalised state from before 2020. All of that will be influential to me voting.

One big difference, especially in the last few years, is gun regulations, how do you feel about how the government has regulated them thus far?

I also hear a bit about voluntary euthanasia, is that actually an issue you think canadians tend to be concerned about?

How has the economy recovered in Canada since the shut downs?

I'm a bit south of BC, and the cost of living is supposedly insane there, and when I drove through vancouver, there were quite a few depressing areas (which isn't unique to canada obvi), is the living situation getting worse, better or stayed the same?

I don't understand much of canada's politics, is Trudeau up for an election soon?
