Yeah no, I don't think its accurate unless we can show that those other democracies behind us are even worse.
Yeah some accredited publication should put together some type of well-researched chart which takes factors of a healthy democracy and combines them into some type of...index.

Granted I can't see a link to their data/methodology here, which I find strange, but it is The Economist - one of the most trusted and well-recognized publications in the world.

Your personal gripes with the Trudeau government are fine. In most places you'd have no forum to air those grievances without threats to your life/family. In fact, you could even do something as crazy as run a campaign against Trudeau and become Prime Minister yourself, if you wanted to try hard enough.
