Anyone who claims Justin has some sort of positive legacy for this country must contend with these truths:
Canada is no longer in the top-10 list of freest countries in the world, according to a new report.
Canada fell six rankings, and was overtaken by nations such as Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands on the annual “Human Freedom Index” released Thursday morning by Canadian think-tank the Fraser Institute. Their previous update that looked at Canada came out in 2021.
The report is based on measurements in 12 different areas, including: security and safety, rule of law, freedom of movement, association and assembly, and expression and information.

Fewer than half of Canadians have a high level of trust in “authoritative sources” of information such as government health agencies, public news sources, and scientists, according to internal research by the federal Privy Council.The Privy Council report, “Misinformation and Disinformation: An international effort using behavioural science to tackle the spread of misinformation,” studied 1,872 Canadians and their “intentions to share false COVID-related headlines online,” using “behavioural interventions.”Of those studied, 42.9 percent of Canadians reported they had high trust in official sources—specifically institutional or authoritative sources of information such as government health agencies, health-care workers, public news sources, and scientists—and low trust in social media, family, and friends.
That number is too high.
