People have to stop acting like defending this government is some sort of patriotic endeavour. Our country is growing increasingly incapable of sorting out complex issues, particularly when they overlap with provincial jurisdiction.
There is a fundamental issue of state capacity in this country - from not being able to build any kind of major industrial project on a meaningful timeline to procuring equipment for the armed forces to providing chemotherapy to cancer patients.
This is something that people of all ideological stripes should consider a priority to fix.

Then I learned that putting in minimal effort to understand how problems come to be is defending the government like some sort of “patriotic endeavour.”
I thought it was just thinking before reacting. My bad.
