the government lacks the capacity to govern. they've been trapped within an extreme filter bubble. think unhinged normie boomer facebook memes but instead of alt-righish it's pseudoleft/neoliberal and instead of irrelevant boomerwaffen it's the literal governing party of canada. honestly i'm not quite sure where that level of insanity comes from. like they had a (conservative) university professor talk to 1 committee 1 day about the place of government in funding news (it shouldn't) and the next day at another committee a liberal mp totally goes off against him accusing him of believing in the great replacement theory. neither committee had anything to do with immigration at all. so some few mps, like the finance minister, ultimately have to deal with concrete reality, no matter how much comfier the spin feels. other mps likely keep hearing from real friends and family in real life about how terrible circumstances actually are. add to that scandals of lies and corruption that have finally forced other ministers out fairly recently.   canada made a go at this with anything but conservative before (thanks soros) but it would be pretty desperate to go for it in these circumstances. that would almost require a true merger of liberals and ndp.
