12. Enough smallish grievances held for different reasons

Mon Jan 6, 2025, 02:01 PM

Monday

Biggest factor I think is the relentless sloganeering and hiding anti-climate agenda on the part of Pierre Axe the Tax Poilievre, Conservative Party leader.

* Inflation. Of course that is fixed now, but prices never come down except in depressions which nobody wants but low-info voters don't understand.

* Housing shortage: primarily a provincial responsibility, not Federal.

* Some concern about immigration which put some (not a lot) of pressure on housing (and of course the racists who hated Trudeau from the get-go).

* Carbon pricing (known as the Carbon Tax even though it is refunded to the bottom 80% or so of tax payers): Pierre Axe the Tax Poilievre has been making hay by sloganeering and hiding his anti-climate agenda.

* Some concern about deficits even though they are declining as a percentage of GDP.

* General feeling among some voters that there "needs to be a change".

Those are off the top of my head.
