A wide segment of the public has weakened and become used to government handouts. While much support was needed early on, the Trudeau government seems to want to make mass welfare permanent rather than take on the important and courageous task of transitioning the public back to work. In the end it has to pay off for people to bother putting away the weed and collecting the pogey. My biggest problem with this government is they don't make hard and careful choices. They just borrow and spend and saddle future generations with debt. They rely on immigration to grow the tax base (vastly increasing Canada's carbon footprint), making a mockery of so-called climate change initiatives. Basically they've raised the cost of living through increased housing demand and carbon taxes, yet all new and added forms of taxation will go towards servicing the debt. Yet somehow borrowing more money to pay for big ticket new programs will make Canada more competitive. Of course the Libs are beholden to the support of the NDP, who are blackmailing the country into "pharmacare" and other costly programs. There's no selectivity or cutting one's cloth to fit.

America had enough firepower to destroy the planet a few times over, yet in all their wars in their entire history they didn't cause 1/10th as many deaths as communism under Mao caused in his own country.

America was fighting to defend freedom in the west in proxy wars in N. Korea, Vietnam, etc. It was your freedom also that they were fighting for during the cold war with Communist USSR. In Iraq they were fighting against ISIS extremists. In Afghanistan, NATO, including Canada, the UK, and U.S.A were fighting Al Qaida jihadist extremists who attacked America on 9-11 and killed over 3,000 people. You need to learn something about world affairs and the ongoing struggle between Communist Russia, China, and the west, as well as radical Islam. The new cold war will be between America and it's allies on one side and Russia and China on the other. That's just the way the world is. You either defend your side or be subdued and taken over in the world. Stop imbibing Communist propaganda for a start.

Belief IS a mind filter. Especially that is not supported by objective information and facts. There's no point in discussing beliefs. I meant not beliefs but responsibility. And blaming someone and something for everything that is happening does not sound like responsibility to me. I'm pretty sure that with the last forest cut and sold and the last glacier melted there would still be someone somewhere to blame for it.
