Economically, politically, and socially, Canada as a whole has been quite ill for some time now.
The disastrous and tyrannical "public health" policies of the federal, provincial, and most municipal governments over the last three years have made the situation dramatically worse.
Canada has only been coasting on past successes, and that momentum is certainly dissipating.
It varied somewhat by region, but in Canada these policies typically included lengthy forced business shutdowns, severe education disruptions, delaying/cancelling medical procedures, curfews, forced masking, coerced and forced injections of unwanted substances, fearmongering by politicians and bureaucrats, violently suppressing peaceful protests, and so on.
These policies resulted in major economic harm (business closures, job losses, supply chain disruption, significant inflation, etc.), as well as widespread social harm in many different ways.
