The economy is not in shambles. Could it get there? Sure. But at this point, Canada seems like it's rolling along pretty well. Unemployment is not a huge issue. We're getting excellent prices for our energy and inflation is abating. Not exactly economic disaster because home prices (which have risen significantly!) are coming down.

To the average Canadian fuel is still expensive, food is still expensive (and Trudeau is going to make that worse with his attack on fertilizer), vehicles are expensive, electricity is expensive, housing is still expensive and now interest rates are high also. You can say that unemployment is lower, but I've read that is due to a massive increase in potentially unsustainable government jobs, so Trudeau smoke and mirrors on that one. Ironically our crippled energy industry, which Trudeau has always been actively destroying, is saving us right now because of high oil prices. And our prime minister is on vacation in Costa Rica after flying around Canada for a month for no reason while increasing his massive carbon footprint on our dime.
