Protest targets engineering firm hired by Ontario to work on Toronto bike lane removal
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did a lot of good things. However, his immigration policy was a disaster. The country went through*** extreme*** population growth in a very short time.
Companies wanted to import cheap labor. Colleges wanted students. And the result is that housing prices in Canada went through the roof, in every province.
Attracting very educated foreigners has become more difficult because of housing prices.
It's a major mistake.
Because of the Canadian voting system (FPTP), people are unfortunately stuck with 2 major political parties. I wish Canada has a different voting system :

Normally, I wouldn't support a guy like Mark Carney. I think he is way too close with the global corporate elite. However, Pierre Poilievre talks about dismantling CBC. That's alarming.
CBC does AMAZING investigative journalism :

An attack on CBC is an attack on Canada.
Canada makes it very hard for foreign doctors to work here.
I really hate to say this, but the issue is not only the rich.
The issue is the voters themselves.
You could open a new dental school in every province. Tuition will be very affordable, but graduates will be required to work 5 years for a public dental clinic. The dental schools and public dental clinics will be funded by taxing soda, alcohol and cakes.
Any politician that suggests that will be immediately accused of creating a nanny state.
