He isn't wrong, and it is extreme, Canada is extremely messed up right now. I think PP is concerned about all Canadians, young people who can't find houses, seniors affected by inflation, natives being treated unfairly, immigrants not being able to work in their professions where they are trained, everyday people struggling because of high taxes and inflation. I don't think his agenda is left/right influenced, he just wants to do the job and fix the problems. This appeals to sensible people, and hopefully the left will quit trying to label PP and just give him a chance... If he screws up then you can call him out on it, but I think this left-wing anger and paranoia is a bit premature.

It's really not. You can go back throughout the the last century or so and find that every generation had significant struggles. Our struggles now, while important and needing of attention, are not Canada's darkest hour or anything. Suggesting we are "messed up" is disingenuous and wrong. Canada certainly has its issues, but if PP become PM one day his government will also have its issues. It won't mean Canada is messed up. It's that kind of divisive language from PP supporters that is so disconcerting and why I struggle to take him or his supporters seriously.
