You disagree that Canada is performing poorly relative to our peers? What information do you have to back up that claim?

For five straight quarters, Canada’s GDP per capita has fallen.
This phenomenon can be explained by the boom in population that Canada is experiencing, according to economist Mikel Skuterud of the University of Waterloo. He compared the GDP of a country to a pie, divided by the population, with GDP per capita being the slice of the pie that every Canadian gets.
“I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any economist in Canada that doesn’t believe that the exceptionally high population growth rates we’re experiencing now have contributed to that decline in GDP per capita that we’re seeing,” Skuterud said, as per the National Post.

From all the stuff I have seen we are up or down relative to peers, but all in the same game. We maybe be behind in some areas, but that doesn't mean we are broken.
