Like buddy, the two best things that have happened to you politically in the last decade are the transmountain pipeline getting bought and completed, and daycare being subsidized. The worst 2 things that have happened to you are the 35+ kid classrooms and the deregulating of electricity/insurance.
So many anecdotes of people in my circle who vote against their own interest. While all doing like you said, living in 2000+ sq ft suburban homes with 2 nice vehicles and yearly family vacations. Lost decade alright.

I was having post golf beers with a friend and his buddy who came to play as a guest at our course Friday before the election.
His buddy starting going off about how everyone better vote conservative, how bad life is under Liberals and where he might have to move to if they win again.
This guy is a very successful mortgage broker, probably makes upper 6 figures per year and is having a cold draft beer, after a round of golf with buddies, sitting on a sunny patio at our country club where membership is $75,000.
A life most people would die for and completely spoiled out of any perspective.
It was a meme worthy experience.
