Household disposable income growth is failing to keep up with inflation according to StatCan data. Even worse, once adjusted for inflation and the country’s booming population growth, it paints a dreary picture as debt problems surface. 

 

Along with the effect of inflation, the lowering GDP per capita ratio, the increasing debt and interest etc etc  this is the latest indicator that most Canadians are experiencing a decline in wealth and income.

We've been over several stories like this now. Pretty much every metric shows that Canadians are suffering and lowering their standard of living.

 

SO my question would be why isn't the MSM demanding the liberals address this every single day? This is a massive massive issue, arguably one of the biggest we've faced in this country since the 1980's. This should be the primary topic everyone's talking about

Maybe everyone is now too afraid of their despotic government to express their opinions.

The port workers went on strike though and I think so did the grocery store employees at some stores.

That might well be the case for conservatives - but for the media? I would guess if there's any fear involved there it would be that if the Conservatives get in they will tend to defund media in general and that scares the mainstream media badly. So they are reluctant to point out the obvious faults in the current government and the dangers that Canadians face.

There's a bunch of strikes right now. Knows that it'll be the Conservatives in power the next time all of these come up.

This seemed interesting in light of your comment:
