[quote=Anonymous]Here is my take on this, and I could be wrong. North America was experiencing a massive gap in wealth distribution and losing a middle class before the pandemic. We know this was the case in the U.S., it would make sense that it was the case in Canada.

Poor were getting poorer, and rich were getting richer. Hence, Trump. Similar is happening all over Europe, more nationalist governments, more intolerance for minorities, etc. What do the rich and their politicians do when they try to keep the masses docile and devoted to them? They serve them enemies, Jews, rapists, immigrants.
That way, the "masses" that toil away day and night don't rise against the rich that pay the government.
This is history 101.
Enter pandemic. More people are losing jobs, more people realizing they are stuck in menial jobs and can't afford even food for their kids, many working full time and can't afford a place to rent in many towns.
Canada has a service industry primarily, 70%. And it doesn't pay that well. Many Canadians and their immigrants can't find jobs that provide a decent living, and they take a lot of immigrants to instill.
So, two years into a pandemic, Canada has locked down even after telling everyone once you are vaccinated, we will not lockdown. They let truckers drive unvaccinated this long, but now they must be vaccinated?
And the lockdown that was not going to happen again? Well, they went back on ti and lockdown they did. Pandemic is winding down in many places, apart from a few covid anxious people on dcum, I think we can all agree that one way or another, it is not a threat it was in 2020. And, just like in the U.S., regular Canadians are watching huge business benefit in Canada and stay open. Planes are full of people, huge stores are open, as is LCBO, but the small restaurants and the yoga parlor and school are closed. But, now it is not the "immigrants" doing it, taking their jobs away.
It is the government. People are realizing this and saying, eh, no. It is not the poor immigrant chap's fault I have to wear a mask. It is yours, Trudeau or Macron.
And they are right. Bcs we all know, our politicians are paid by lobbies, by donations that get them elected. By pharma companies.
And now, the Ambassador Bridge is closed. It must be opened, BCS it impacts... yep, huge automotive industry. These "people" have realized that they do have power. They might not realize to which extent they have it,
But, IMO, the tide is turning; the working poor in the "free" world had enough. It might not explode this year or the next, but this has every sign of the rest of the order.

Anyway, this is just what I was thinking; I might be wrong.[/quote]
