Just The Facts: Canadians Feeling Hopeless After Nine Years Of Trudeau

September 13, 2024 at 9:01 am  Federal, Politics

Ottawa, ON – After nine years of Justin Trudeau, life has never been so hard for Canadians. Housing costs have doubled after Trudeau created the worst housing inflation in the OECD, while Canadians are having to pay $700 more for food this year than they did in 2023. Millions of people are having to rely on food banks to survive, including one in ten people in Toronto.

The damage that Trudeau has done to Canada was exhibited again today through a Statistics Canada report on the well-being of Canadians. In this, Statistics Canada reported that life satisfaction is on the decline. In fact, only 48.6 percent of Canadians now feel “highly satisfied” with their lives. This is down from 54 percent just three years earlier.

Canadians are also feeling more pessimistic about their futures. “Hopefulness about the future” dropped from 65 percent in 2021 to 59.7 precent in 2024.  

The decline in life satisfaction is especially apparent in young adults. Life satisfaction for younger adults is declining 4% per year since 2021. This year, less than 4 in 10 young adults were highly satisfied. No wonder young people are feeling hopeless after Trudeau doubled the costs of rent and downpayments, with seven in ten Canadians (72 percent) saying they have given up on ever owning a home, according to an Ipsos report.

But this sense of hopelessness is not limited to young adults. In 2024, “Canadians of all age groups were feeling less hopeful about their future” than they did in 2021.

As Statistics Canada noted in their report, “rising consumer prices have coincided with an increasing proportion of Canadians facing financial challenges.” Life is getting worse for Canadians because Justin Trudeau poured billions of dollars of spending onto the inflationary fire while his carbon tax hiked up the cost of everything.

Canadians deserve a government that will turn the hurt Trudeau has caused into the hope that people need. Only Common Sense Conservatives will build a better future for Canada by axing the tax, building the homes, fixing the budget and stopping the crime.
