There were lots of problems with Canada even in 2014 (the chart you pulled up first). The housing bubble was still out of control. The labour force participation rate is still considerably lower than what it used to be historically because jobs have been shipped overseas or automated away. It's just that on the trajectory we are on, the problem continued to get worse over the past 6 years. The panicdemic has accelerated the problems.
The politicians are there to enrich themselves, their families, their buddies. They aren't there to serve to the public. To consider them public servants is a disgrace.
I used to be a NDP supporter because I thought they were for the little guy. But their policy proposals for a long time now do more harm than good for the Canadian working class. Mass immigration leads to depreciation of wages and chronic unemployment due to having a labour surplus in conjunction with a diminishing demand for labour (due to automation, labour savings from economies of scale and outsourcing abroad). Mass immigration doesn't help with the rent bubble and to some extent the housing bubble. Low rental vacancy rate % = higher rents. Foreign investment and massive domestic speculation in Canadian real estate leads to the housing bubble. The NDP are very undisciplined with fiscal policy. Government spending needs to be efficient because if you tax the wealthy to much, capital flight will result. The wealthy are the most capital mobile people in the world. So if you are allocating funds to tackle homelessness and poverty, it's in our best interests to ensure that as much as those dollars go towards alleviating the problem rather than going into the pockets of bureaucrats.
I would like a nice medium/balance. A lot of conservatives have outright contempt for the poor. The lack of empathy is disturbing to me. I can respect telling the poor, "I wish we could do more to help but we have to be mindful of the deficit, capital flight, devaluation of the dollar, etc" But I can't respect the outright contempt that a lot of Conservatives share privately for poor people, insulting the poor, belittling the poor, wishing they'd overdose on heroin and kill themselves, etc. But the NDP is also unrealistic and has misguided policies. And the Liberals are woke capitalists who give the plebs a few more crumbs than the Tories to prevent riots like you see in the United States. There is no happy medium in government. Whether you vote Liberal or Conservative, the trajectory is the same (and NDP is politically irrelevant federally). It's just one party might go the speed limit off a cliff while the other is putting the pedal to the metal off the cliff.
Import the third world, become the third world.
I may be a pro-abortion anti-trump mask fag, but i still hate mass immigration and Justin Trudeau

We have a lower QOL than Oman.
How hard is it to move to Australia?
The country with the highest suicide rate in the world beat us, wow.
Weird...homogenous cultural nations generally in the top 20?
I think at one time we held top place in this pretend competition where no one knows how the scoring actually works...
It’s not going to improve either..
More people, more pollution, more garbage, more shoebox condos, more expensive groceries. The quality of life is going to shit fast in this country
Harper left in late 2015 and not 2014 (which was the year we got 6th place). In mid 2015 we were on place 12 according to your source.
