By a lot of large national metrics Canada has held up quite well, but figures like the one below is what's damning about the current government and also why the proposed Conservative ideologies(deregulate, lower corporate taxes and reduce services) is even worse.

Posting this since I've seen a fair bit of people make random things up regarding this.

Usage
The caucus member ejection provisions were first used when the Conservative caucus voted to eject Derek Sloan on January 20, 2021.[9][10][11]
In February 2022, the leadership removal provisions were invoked for the first time by the Conservative caucus following the 2021 election, which used it to trigger a leadership review against, and remove, Erin O'Toole. During the review, 45 MPs voted to retain him against 73 who voted for his removal.[12] Deputy Leader Candice Bergen was selected as interim leader.[13][14] O'Toole's removal marked the first time since the Reform Act was passed into law seven years prior, that a party caucus formally challenged and dismissed its leader.[15]
Data for generalized performance of CAD is harder to find than most people would think. It's good to understand how CAD is doing beyond the USD comparisons.
I wouldn't worry about it. The Liberal supporters is just butthurt their "good enough" party is actually shit and their only effective retort these is that at least they're not Conservative levels of shit.
I'm not voting for the party leader. I'm voting for my riding's candidate.
I take it you're not much of a believer in vote whipping.
Things are going so poorly that the Conservatives is overwhelmingly going to win the next election. If that's good enough for you I can see why you're completely fixed on your support for the Liberals.
A & B - I'm talking about the current circumstances and how as a progressive there's never been a better chance in recent times to vote NDP if you don't want "waste" a vote. There can be a 20 extra seat swing coming purely from the Conservatives to the Liberals and they still have majority by 34 seats.
C & D - I don't understand how voting for someone that lied about something as big as Voting reform is suppose to inspire optimism. The Liberals is just better than the Conservatives, they've never been been a good party. Even if the Liberals won the next election most Canadian will still be worse off just not as bad.
This whole I'm not the bad guy therefore I'm the good guy rhetoric is deplorable.
I wouldn't vote for Pierre if he said he'd implement voting reform which is the only thing I'm looking for in the next election.
I really don't understand how people can look at Canadian politics in the last half a century and want to bounce between these parties that has taken turns seeing how bad they can be before people vote them out.
Can you elaborate how you voting for the Liberals instead of NDP or really anyone else is going to impact this mathematically:
What does that change in the grand scheme of things.
In itself is strategic voting only about one election one riding at a time what about the nation and the future beyond 4 years?
Really no reason to even think about voting for Liberals now that the whole strategic voting thing isn't even plausible thing with the current polling.
Just some random political commentary of my own:
Yesterday I heard the someone say that Trump tariffs will make Canada great again by somehow improving government efficiency. The individual was the stereotypical person that thinks any and all types of taxes is killing Canada these days but turns out if another nation taxes us then it's good shit.
Anyways as the polls go Trudeau has the power to implement PR which could hold back Pierre garbage politics but he isn't exactly for helping Canadians either.
For anyone wondering if the NDP non-confidence motion goes through we still have a while till a election:
