Anthony Furey: Quality of Life Is Eroding in Canada’s Cities, but We Shouldn’t Settle for the Status Quo

The most significant problems in Canada are located in its cities, and their resolution is crucial for the country’s overall improvement.

  • Issues plaguing cities include gridlock, cost of living, high taxes, litter, public disorder, the drug crisis, and deteriorating infrastructure.
  • Recent local elections in Canada predominantly resulted in the continuation of the status quo.
  • Voters are influenced by candidates who suggest that everything is fine and that maintaining the current course will lead to improvement, even if this is not truthful.
