The people are predominantly the problem. They overwhelmingly complied with Covid lock downs, many turned against their neighbors to report a gathering of more than 6 people. The overly obedient Canuck is more worried about appearing "nice" than they are calling out the direction the country has taken. Lured into a false sense of security, Canadians (in general) stopped paying attention. They fell back on good times and as a result became weak men. They've sold out their children and like UK, Australia and New Zealand (the Commonwealth) the fight has left them. More concerned that their free health care (a complete joke), their pension (which is bankrupt and won't pay future retirees) and their overpriced dwelling remains their leveraged ATM, Canadians have lost the plot. China has infiltrated the Gov, will bypass Federal and Provincial laws by dealing directly with the Native Band leaders (UNDRIP) for mineral rights and the continuation of the belt and road initiative. Chinese originating pre cursor chemicals for fentanyl make their way into Canadian ports, the Govs know this and do nothing about it, as the money is laundered through the housing market. It's known infamously as "the Vancouver model" Don't kid yourself, Canadians may have built "accomplished" things in the past but for the past 25-30 years, they have taken the path of least resistance and ignored what was happening right under their noses. They may have been unaware, but ignorance is no excuse. Now when things get tough they will further bend the knee to the nanny state instead of taking personal responsibility for how and why we got here. Canada is now just "... a song about the song that once said something new. We're a scandal that's unfolding. We're a picture that we're holding of someone who is cool" (~ borrowed from the song "Someone Who's Cool" Odds ~)
