There are so many problems. So many issues. I can't see a positive future for this country.

How could Justin Trudeau be responsible for emergency waiting time, lack of school funding and lack of social programs while those are the jurisdiction of the provinces? The federal don't have much influence on those issues, the provinces governments wouldn't allow it.
As for the rise of the criminality, this is more likely the result of the politics of Stephen Harper and his conservative government. Also, the best solution to the opiate addiction epidemic is probably to legalize Marijuana, which the Trudeau government will soon do: this is a promising substance for treatment against pain, and thought not without danger, is far less dangerous that substances based on opium.

Oh I agree. Justin Trudeau is far too ''new'' to have created all these things but I think the poster was talking about his father getting the ball rolling towards destruction. But I don't think that was it. Within the ten years of Stephen Harper lots of familiar stability started disappearing.

Thank you for your reply...
So there is no misunderstanding:
-I know next to nothing about Canadian politics...
-I am in learning mode...
-I was speculating that the left-wing financial modus operandi is to throw money at liberal causes without balancing that with systems which strengthen a countries economic functioning which then allows greater spending on humanitarian policies...
Could it be that the country doesn't have enough money to service its social policies and maintain its economic responsibilities?
Please feed me data...

Canada is far from left-wing.. at least not like you would imagine. That is only the image that gets projected. There is truthfully very little invested into social programs. Vital services like public education, healthcare and infrastructure have been badly underfunded and people are just seeing ''how much'' as of now.
On education... My Mother and aunt were teachers and still taught occasionally past the age of 65 and they were both dismayed by the decline in the curriculum, children having to share text books and the state of the building(s) themselves. Children are still schooled in portables in many cases, not all even have heat either. When I was in school we wore our coats inside the portable to keep warm.

Wow, this sounds just like Australia!
People in other nations seem to have this strange, rosy view of life "down under", but I can tell you as someone who lives here that what you have outlined above is very similar to how things are at this moment in time, and if current trends continue we will very soon become a Third World banana republic. There is poverty almost everywhere, but our politicians and media constantly deny and lie about it. If you ever go to Melbourne by train, be very careful when you get off, because there's a good chance you will trip over a homeless beggar. They are everywhere in the C.B.D.
