In 2015, Canada was ranked #9 in the world for quality of life.

We were admired for our balance, a stable economy, affordable homes, and a sense of optimism that felt almost permanent. People came here to build a future. We believed hard work paid off, that leadership meant stewardship, and that our kids would inherit something stronger than what we were given.

Fast forward ten years, and in 2025 Canada now ranks #29.

The slide didn’t happen overnight; it happened one policy, one deficit, one broken promise at a time.
We were told the economy was growing, but GDP per capita fell, which means the average Canadian became poorer even as the government bragged about progress.

We were told spending was “investment,” but federal debt more than doubled, rising from 28% to nearly 70% of GDP.

Budgets did not balance themselves. Deficits didn’t shrink; they exploded, from $2.9 billion to over $68 billion.
We were not investing in productivity; we were buying time.

Today, the bills have come due, and who pays? The taxpayer; through higher taxes, higher prices, and a lower quality of life.

A starter home that once cost $400,000 now sells for $800,000.
Healthcare wait times have doubled, from months to nearly half a year in some provinces.
Violent crime has risen by nearly 50% since 2015.

Groceries and gas have reached levels most families simply cannot afford. Eight million Canadian adults now rely on food banks, along with two million children.

Unemployment sits above 7%, and youth unemployment has climbed past 14%, as immigration quietly replaces opportunities once reserved for Canadians.

And while all this happened, Canadians were told to “be patient.” But patience doesn’t fix broken policy; it only delays the pain.

We were once admired for our balance, our reason, and our fairness.
Now, we rank below countries we used to outperform. The decline didn’t start with malice; it started with mismanagement, with leadership that valued appearance over outcome, and politics over principle.

This is what ten years of Liberal government has cost Canadians. From #9 to #29 in a single decade. GDP down. Debt up. Crime rising. Confidence fading. You can call it policy. You can call it progress. You can even call it an investment. But what it really is, is an engineered decline, traded for alignment with a global political agenda that has nothing to do with Canadian prosperity.
