The fact that nobody in government seems to have any issue with this disturbs me greatly.

For your last point, easy. Kick out all the SJW's, send them to the eastern provinces, and set up an educational system that promotes values like common courtesy, civic pride, the golden rule, obeying the law, etc.
Sounds dumb, right? I see it as the broken windows approach to society. People who are made to understand from a young age that being nice really is the best way to interact with people grow up more aware of others.
For the rule breakers, advocate for a strict set of punishments in courts that have fair but speedy trials. No sitting in pre-trial for 18 months. Everyone has rights, but everyone must also understand they have obligations to society.
Also, national pride in things like espousing hard work, all jobs are good jobs, fair taxation for all, and things that everyday people can see and feel satisfaction such as a strong military, clean cities, no hordes of junkies, well developed industry, a sense of self-worth in being a citizen because the system cares.
And finally, term limits for all politicians. No lifelong appointments, no 6 cycles of the LPC. Two and you're through.
I guarantee under a system similar to this, within 15 years the west would be at a HDI higher than we are now, while the eastern provinces would still be debating what term should be used to replace the word "Mail Box"
