The problem isn’t even with Canada, it is a global phenomena. If you check news sites in other western democracies, they all have very similar struggles. The problem is wealth distribution is concentrated in too few people, and their wealth is such that like a black hole, it greedily consumes everything. The only solution is a readjustment of the global wealth pie, and break up many of these overly large monopolistic corporations. A vote for the cons is a doubling down of what we are already getting.
All the Conservatives have to do is wait long enough and they’ll win an election. They literally don’t need to do anything. Eventually enough Canadians will blame the current Prime Minister for their city buses running late and vote in a Conservative.
While our politics is not technically two party, in terms of parties which have held power it is, and people seem stuck in that mindset. They know they are unhappy with the status quo, they know they want change, and the only change a lot of people are willing to consider is the one with the history of austerity.

also, we all lived through a pandemic which of course gave a big blow to the economy.
BC has an NDP premier.
