Generally I think the world is mad. It's bad here but it's bad everywhere and worse in alot of places.

We know things are going to start getting better. Inflation is coming down. We think interest rates are going to start coming down probably middle of next year. We’re launching massive housing investments. Hopefully, people are going to start seeing things get better.

Housing is the tip of the iceberg. The cost of living has jumped across the board. It's hard to get a family doctor in most provinces. Homelessness is endemic to most of our cities. Our real wages are falling.

And it doesn't feel like any level of government is doing enough. They certainly don't seem to be cooperating.

And yes, hOuSiNg/hEaLtHcArE Is A pRovInCiAl ReSpOnSiBiLiTy, but the feds have shown themselves adept at getting around that. The feds got the provinces to implement a carbon tax and $10/day daycare.

Of course, immigration and taxation are federal responsibilities, and aside from the GST credit on purpose-built rentals, the feds have done almost nothing.

Requiring post secondary schools to provide on campus housing for newcomers on academic visas would be a good start. Similarly, requiring medical residents studying in Canada to practice in Canada after their program completes would be another improvement.

On the taxation side, we should start asking whether tax exemptions for home owners are such a great idea when we're trying to deflate the housing market.

The problem is when people are mad, they tend to vote conservative. When they should be voting for more left leaning parties.

I hope the change in Manitoba creates a real orange wave across the country and that provinces start voting for NDP or similar provincial parties.

People are mad, and a lot of them are pointing fingers in wrong directions

He's right - but then why did he do nothing about it?

Canadians are furious for sure.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The roughly hourlong conversation, of course, was dominated by a discussion of Mr. Trudeau’s startling allegation that the government of India was connected to the assassination of a Sikh nationalist near a temple in Surrey, British Columbia.

It was a stunning accusation: that Canada had intelligence showing that “agents of the Indian government” were involved in the shooting death of a Canadian citizen in British Columbia.

My colleague in Montreal, Norimitsu Onishi, went to Surrey to visit Mr. Nijjar’s temple, the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, which adopted a more strident and political bent after he took over its leadership.

Mujib Mashal, Hari Kumar and Suhasini reported from New Delhi about India’s longstanding claim that Canada and several other countries have stood idly by as extremist Sikh groups have supported a secessionist cause that threatens the Indian state.

And Mujib, The Times’s bureau chief for South Asia, appeared on “The Daily” to discuss Mr. Trudeau’s allegation and what India’s reaction tells us about the era of its leader, Mr. Modi.

During a visit to Canada, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that pulling back on support for Ukraine would erode its war effort and empower Russia.
