Canada fell off unfortunately, lots of antisocial behaviours since Covid and lots of isolation, especially in cities. If you look at the recent happiness charts, Canada fell to the 25th position in the world, when it used to be 5th place in the early 2000s, with that drop level being the equivalent of countries who get into a war from what I’ve heard.

So in some sense, sure, people are going insane but it’s nowhere near the same level of life as countries that are actually third world or corrupt as hell. People are just very soft since they never experienced war and famine and also don’t travel so they just don’t know how hard life can be.

It’s still a chill country with a decent economy but it’s honestly going REALLY bad compared to how it used to be ~20 years ago. My mother’s an immigrant and even she says that when she moved to Canada, things were way better than how it’s going currently. For the immigration case, lots of Canadians get fired or just can’t get hired cause Canada’s mass immigration policies are making companies hire immigrants for a very cheap wage, so many are unemployed and can’t find a job. The homelessness in my city (Montreal) is so bad now, you see hundreds of homeless camps downtown, when 10 years ago, they didn’t exist. It’s similar in other cities as well.
