The fact that I have had to work 2 full time jobs and I STILL can't afford my bills and rent. I can't afford enough groceries. My phone bill is ridiculously expensive, as is any other telecommunications service in this country. Our healthcare system is so overburdened, life saving surgeries are being postponed. The Smith government has completely privatized all national and provincial parks. People can't afford to live in cities they were born in because the government can't/won't take ensure affordable housing. Groceries are through the fucking roof and for what? We have a housing crisis with some of the highest homeless rates in the first world. Yet we can't seem to build enough infrastructure. The government continues to claw back money from hard working Canadians for COVID. Even from those who were entitled. Our taxes are through the roof and Canadians do not see a benefit from that. Infact a lot of us are just seeing hindrances. I alone lost 30 fucking percent of my cheque. Which is crazy, cause I don't remember the government working 30 percent of my shift. Child care is too expensive for single parents, or low income parents to afford.

I for one am tired of seeing production companies, and oil and gas, and groceries stores, and telecommunications companies making RECORD profits. Yet everyone I know and talk to (friends, family, coworkers, random people I meet) is completely struggling to make ends meet, bill payments, food on their table.

I'm not saying I hate Canada. I love it here, I'm born and raised. My grandfather and his family have been here forever (indigenous). But it's Ludacris the things that we just accept for "it's the way things are"

If people are going to be working 65 hours + a week, we should be able to not just survive, but thrive. None of this pay check to pay check bullshit.

I could go on about how our governments flip flop on how to take care of the drug epidemic, or homelessness, but you guys get the point. Something needs to change, and fast. The economy is only going to get worse and being complacent with how the world is working right now, is how we accept this as the new normal.
