You sure we’re in the same Canada? I mean, sure it’s not great and hasn’t been for at least 20 years, but it’s not the hellscape you’re describing either. That, I’m afraid, is in about another 20 years.
If you’re in Canada right this minute, then we are in the same Canada. I suspect the reality is closer to my description but we all wear varying shades of rose-coloured glasses and I always allow that I could be utterly and completely wrong in my ramblings.
I think it very much depends on your perspective, and also how old you are. Keep in mind I was 25 when the financial crisis hit. There really hasn’t been a decade in my adult life where there hasn’t been a once-in-a-lifetime event (I turned 18 and 9/11 hit). If I’m gonna wake up tomorrow with a chip on my shoulder, I have evidence. And if I let all of that shit define me, that chip on my shoulder’s gonna be Ontario-sized.
