As long as they can blame liberals, they'd be ok with making things worse.
The fact is, all the hardship that most people are going through is likely down to their provincial leadership. Surprise, surprise, the majority are conservative.
I believe only Newfoundland and Labrador has a liberal premier, and their cost of living is below average.
But yeah, let's have more pain and suffering.
The problem isn't even with Canada, it is a global phenomena. If you check news sites in other western democracies, they all have very similar struggles. The problem is wealth distribution is concentrated in too few people, and their wealth is such that like a black hole, it greedily consumes everything. The only solution is a readjustment of the global wealth pie, and break up many of these overly large monopolistic corporations. A vote for the cons is a doubling down of what we are already getting.
also, we all lived through a pandemic which of course gave a big blow to the economy.
BC has an NDP premier.
