At the risk of sounding like I'm flaming - which I'm not - it seems like a pretty privileged viewpoint for you to posit that the recent trend of more people raising concerns about cost of living and wages are simply anti-government or anti-immigrant.
Groceries have gone up in price. Shelter has gone up in price for both renting and buying. Healthcare is in shambles. Wages haven't been keeping up with inflation the last decade+, let alone the past two years.
Yes, I understand the entire world is reeling from a pandemic and horrific monetary policies put in place by said governments and corporations that manipulate it for their own gain.
The government has chosen to enact policies against the best interest of most of its citizens - at least those making less than $100k/year - and they continue to do so at the expense of everybody.
What will be the "straw that breaks the camel's back" for the majority of Canadians to finally realize that their government doesn't care about them and only cares about bringing in more foreign money to prop up the absolute sham of a "housing market" they have while suppressing wages for lower level entry positions like service industries or entry-level IT jobs?
