Canada's Best Days Were Behind It in 1967

Now, it's just a corpse whose pockets are being gone through for loose change:

Canadians are divided on whether the country’s best years are behind it, according to in-house research by the Department of Finance. More than a third of people surveyed said Canada has passed its peak: “Many had low expectations of the government.”


That anyone expected their government to pull through for them is quite telling.


The government is comprised of greedy people whose portfolios are filled with positions for which they have no flair or skill.

Yet people relied on them for everything.

It didn't matter how incompetent or greedy it was, the government was the average Canadian's ticket to things that they think they didn't pay for and the chance to gloat over comfort and wealth they had no real claim to.


Then this happened:

The Canadian economy posted its worst showing on record in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the country, shutting down businesses and putting millions out of work.

Statistics Canada says real gross domestic product shrank 5.4 per cent in 2020, the steepest annual decline since comparable data was first recorded in 1961.

“It’s official. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the Canadian economy to suffer its steepest contraction since the Great Depression,” said TD senior economist Sri Thanabalasingam.


No, the Trudeau government had been destroying the economy since 2016 and, if given the chance, would do it all over again.

Canada has its best days behind it and there are thirty-seven million reasons why.
