Canadians are angry, stressed and grieving the loss of the Canada they once knew.

Why do Canadians feel so tense now? Canadians seem angrier, more divided and are less trusting than before. Has immigration impacted the state and solidarity of our country? Millions of Canadians can feel the shift. Let’s get into it.

Canadians are experiencing a profound collective grief over the loss of what many see as Canada’s core identity and social fabric. This mourning is directed toward an obvious weakening of traditional Canadian values, which includes personal freedoms and rights, the cost of living, healthcare access and everyday living for Canadians.

What happened to Canada?

Some might say that this new progressive Canada is a good thing, but others would disagree and are truly mourning the loss of the thriving Canada we all once knew. For many, it’s just too overwhelming and moving forward while trying to accept a new reality has become a chore.

Questions Canadians are struggling to answer:

• Will I ever be able to afford a home?
• Will my children be able to afford a home?
• How am I going to afford groceries and rent when prices keep going up?
• My debt just keeps piling up. Should I file for insolvency or bankruptcy?
• How can I cope with the long healthcare waitlists?
• How long will I have to wait to to get a family doctor?
• Are government policies helping or hurting my future?
