Canada's Quality of Life has Fallen from 9th in the world (2015) to 27th (mid 2023)

It's probably about right given increases in crime, decline of healthcare, and massive increases in cost of living with little economic growth.

All of those for sure - but rent and housing has got to be big parts of it  (part of the cost of living i know but worth talking about separately).  The stats show that a large hunk of people are spending more than 30 percent on their accommodations in Canada, and that's considered the max for housing to be 'affordable'.  Many are upwards of 40 and even 50 percent. Then add food inflation.

Then there's the gov't spending. THe scotia bank notes that if the govt would just cut it's spending there woudln't need to be an increase in interest rates to keep inflation low.

Transportation costs too, gas is almost double what it was in 2015

And i notice that was your ONLY complaint - you ignored the fact that the QoL is seperate and handled  entirely differently, you ignored the fact that their findings are corroborated by OTHER completely DIFFERENT models.

No, I said the QoL index incorporates the balogna crime index, among other poorly sourced data.  🙃

Justin trudeau has dropped our relative quality of life from about number 7 to number 27  since taking office - and  your complete lack of understanding of how computers work won't change that

Repeating your junk source doesn't make it any more reliable, muppet.  Of the various QoL indexes out there, you're elevating an unreliable user-submitted review aggregator that's prone to abuse as the only one that matters.  

Turkey is safer than Canada, according to your source.  Dumb dumb dumb.

Nope you said the crime index was an AGGREGATOOOOOORRR!! NO DATABASE INVOLVED - IT"S AN AGGRAGAAAATORROROROR!

That was your big thing.  ANd you were wrong, i see you've given up on that now.

And the data from the source is just fine.  AND  i also posted another source that shows pretty similar results using completely different metrics and methods. Which kinda proves the original source was fine.  Even the crime stats which are more flawed are pretty good turns out.

 

So right now you're desperately and pathetically trying to distract from the fact that Justin Trudeau has driven the quality of life of canadians down from the top ten (3 or 7 depending) to about the top 30.

Sorry - your hero has been an absolute disaster for Canada.

Were you done or did you want to triple down on the stupid? I know how you love to throw a hissy fit when your'e wrong.  Did you want to maybe post a meme? Are you that upset about it? Or maybe just repeat teh same lies over and over for a while? That always makes you feel better

Yes, it's a database - just a shitty one - an aggregator of opinions and sentiments with poor integrity and that's easy to manipulate.  Nobody seriously relies on it - it's like the review section on trip advisor.  

You're choosing it over other, better and more reliable indexes because it paints an especially poor picture, and anything that fuels your Justin obsession is 100% accurate (like your braindead inflation math).  

Dumb.

Crime is worse. There is a lot more random attacks against completely innocent people. This, and the growing numbers of homeless addicts in street camps is serving to damage people's quality of life all on its own because they don't feel safe and they worry about their kids being out of their sight.

I'm hearing and reading things I never did before. Pleas from people on local, provincial and national forums about being unable to afford the rent, about not able to afford groceries. There is a bitterness, a really deep bitterness that seems to be coming out a lot more now than ever before directed at all levels of government but mostly federal (and in Ontario at Ford). And not just government but older people, boomers who it is presumed have their comfortable homes already and most of them mostly paid for, and so benefiting from rising housing costs. Also hatred of landlords and grocers. Also a deep bitterness at the number of immigrants and at the foreign students and workers people know are being brought in largely to suppress wages - their wages. And despite what the government says nearly everyone now blames this huge spike of foreigners on immigration - on Trudeau and his party. Five years ago almost no one argued against immigration. Now almost everyone does, even those on the Left.

I don't need statistics to know our quality of life has deteriorated.

I know.  I was the one who had to explain that to you. You were the one who thought it wasn't a database.  Glad you've learned something today I"m nothing if not educational  

And it's a very good database and well respected. Sorry that pisses you off but there you go,

I POSTED another calculation - you ignored that completely.  It shows we've dropped from 3rd to 15th,  about the same drop.  WORSE - it provided graphs that SHOWS our problems started when justin took over.

 

So ALL the indexes agree. Justin trudeau has dropped us 10 - 13 spots compared to other countries. The drop started when he showed up and continues to this very day.  No matter which index we use
