After a decade of liberal misrule, Canada's quality of life has dropped to 29th in the world, according to David Knight Legg's Quality of Life Index. What happened?

00:00:00.000 Our friend David Knight Legg posted this about the quality of life index in Canada.
00:00:06.260 So Canada is now ranked 29th in terms of quality of living.
00:00:10.700 Here I'll read from David's post.
00:00:12.160 He says, we're 29.
00:00:13.300 Under the Conservative government in 2014, Canada's quality of life index was tied for fifth with Denmark and Finland.
00:00:19.980 After a decade of liberal misrule, using the identical metrics, Canadian quality of life has dropped to 29th in 2025.
00:00:27.860 What happened?
00:00:28.400 Well, he writes, a Carney-advised decade of reckless borrowing and debt, dying productivity, overregulation, climate alarmism, widespread immigration fraud, vastly expanded obese bureaucracy, declining health care, rising crime, declining military, declining infrastructure, and a hollowed-out currency.
00:00:44.800 Our dollar is now worth 68 cents to the American dollar per capita.
00:00:49.740 Wealth is now ranked alongside Mississippi, the poorest U.S. state.
00:00:53.480 And so, I mean, he really paints out all of the areas of decline.
00:00:59.740 And I mean, the Quality of Life Index is not a partisan group.
00:01:02.540 It's very quite objective.
00:01:04.120 It looks at every country around the world.
00:01:06.600 Do you think this is just really a damning indictment of liberal rule in Canada?
00:01:12.360 Well, certainly the last decade's been difficult.
00:01:14.640 There's just no policy, no practice, no effort that I see in any way, shape or form that has made Canada better.
00:01:21.300 So the fact that, again, I go back to the polls in the fall, obviously the Trudeau liberals were plummeting, you know, the numbers were just awful, and it was obvious that people's, Canada's disdain for Trudeau was palpable.
00:01:40.420 The fact that a guy, I like, happened to like Mark Carney as a person, not as a leader.
00:01:46.560 But the fact that he stepped back in and all of a sudden the liberals are going,
00:01:50.280 oh, everything's fine, we're going to be okay.
00:01:52.580 And you look at the cabinet that he's posted, 21 of the 23 people,
00:01:57.160 in fact, really all 23, were Trudeau's.
