I don't know if Canada is "fine" so to speak, the reason why a lot of people are extremely upset is because of economic issues, pressures and a falling of living standards across the board.
I don't know if PP will bring massive change in those departments but I do know that the Liberals have not had a solid economic strategy and track record. There have been plenty of decisions that have had very negative consequences for the country. The deficit, budget decisions, taxation, energy policy or lack their of and a lot more.
There has been 10 years of talk about "investing in the middle class and working Canadians" but those affects are being felt really hard for a lot of people. We aren't used to seeing such a dramatic drop in quality of life standards and living conditions for Canadians and your seeing it in vote rich regions for the Liberals.
Even for retiree's and immigrants who are in Canada, a shocking amount of them are moving abroad or going back home because of affordability issues and living standards. How many low wage, minimum wage workers need to live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Toronto for this to be really worth it? For some it's worth it but for others, they have much better options.
Even with things like the carbon tax or the capital gains tax. Look at your family and friends and tell them straight up that they and the family are rich, need to pay more capital gains taxes and that they are doing substantially better in carbon payments then paying out. It's shocking how many people don't appreciate the tone cause it's not rooted in reality.
