As soon as those same family members get out and hang out with friends and family and travel and whatever else, they're all smiles, having a great time, life is great. As soon as they watch whatever they do on TV and go on their phones everything is terrible again.
Most of the time it's a good idea to put your phone down or close your laptop and just get out and live life. Canada is not perfect by any means, but it is not broken. If we can do some things better, let's do it. But overall Canada is an awesome country filled with awesome people. We are extremely lucky to live here. You don't need to look at our country as negatively as you can, life is too short.

The "Canada is broken" mantra is even sillier when it comes from people who live in Alberta (and especially people who live in Calgary). Alberta is the wealthiest province in Canada, with the highest incomes and a reasonable cost of living. Calgary has, over the past fifty years, grown from a two horse prairie stop-over to an incredibly wealthy, sophisticated and diverse metropolis (that happens to be an hour away from some of the most beautiful places in the entire world).
You unquestionably live in one of the best jurisdictions that a human being has ever lived in the entire history of humanity.
NOTE: obviously I'm not trying to shut down legitimate discussion about how we can improve this country. That is absolutely fair (and vital). I'm just sick of the "Canada is broken" nonsense.
