2. Economic disincentives e.g. over taxation, burdening regulation, slow and inefficient government, all acting to stifle resource development, and contributing to our brain drain.
3. Our ballooning debt
4. Our collapsing healthcare and need for change and increased spending
5. The poor state of our armed forces
6. Government inefficiency e.g. acquiring passports, border policies, etc.
7. Corruption and gross overuse of consultants with probable conflicts of interest
8. Our decreasing standing as a country, as it relates to many issues e.g. corruption, investment opportunity, healthcare, etc.
9. The arrogant, virtue signaling, ideologically bent, grossly inefficient leadership

You can add to this.
10. A government that can't even effectively spend the taxpayer money they ARE allocating to specific things.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank is unlikely to spend even half its $35-billion budget over its 11-year mandate despite government pledges to get the cash flowing to new green projects, warns Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux in a new report.
The independent spending watchdog reached his conclusion by reviewing the bank’s latest announcements and comparing its track record with those of similar bodies, such as Infrastructure Ontario and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.
The federal government created the bank in 2017 with a mandate to provide funding that encourages large institutional investors to partner with governments in building infrastructure projects that generate revenue and are in the public interest.
After widespread criticism of the bank’s initial lack of progress, the government approved leadership changes last year and a new “growth plan” to spend at least $10-billion over three years, primarily on environmental projects.
Wednesday’s PBO report says the new plan will not resolve concerns that money is not finding its way to specific projects.

In contrast, the US is trending towards $100 billion in investment since they passed the inflation reduction act to get more companies to invest in green energy IN the US.
Pretty pathetic when our government is allocating funds towards projects and is so incompetent they can't even spend it properly.
Now lets sit back for all the incoming Liberal supporters to make their excuses.
