Canada also suffers from lack of competitiveness, productivity, etc and I always wonder if we actually have the political constituency for a pro-growth agenda. I don't think we do it seems the group that would vocally back this is likely <10% of the population and probably low-engagement/apolitical. Europeans seem to give off the same vibe, if not more so.

For example the governing Liberals have been pretty bad on the economic file and will most certainly lose the election next year, but the alternatives are: 1) A Russian-propaganda fuelled Conservative party led by an obsessive culture warrior who's never known life outside politics (a 45 year old who has been an MP for 20 years) 2) a leftist party that thinks more regulation and taxes is what we need.

The "Abundance Agenda" types just don't fit in anywhere, except perhaps as a small faction of the Liberals.
