The decline of Canada is not a fluke. It’s a direct result of Liberal policy and ideology.

GDP is Canada’s economic report card, but GDP per person is what tells you if people are actually getting ahead.

GDP per person = GDP ÷ population.

And right now, the population is exploding faster than the economy can keep up.

Since 2015: • Permanent resident targets rose from about 270,000/year to over 465,000+

• Temporary residents (students + workers) surged into the millions

• Canada recorded one of the fastest population growth rates in the developed world (over 3% in 2023)

But housing, infrastructure, and productivity didn’t scale with it.

That’s how you get:

• falling GDP per person

• record housing costs

• wage stagnation

• collapsing affordability for young Canadians

You can grow the size of the economy on paper by adding people. But if productivity, housing supply, and investment don’t grow too, living standards get diluted.

More people doesn’t automatically mean more prosperity. Clearly it’s created the opposite effect, also stressing out healthcare and social services.

A country isn’t stronger when opportunity gets stretched thinner, it’s stronger when growth per person improves.

So when headlines say “out of nowhere, Canada became poorer than Alabama” that’s simply a lie misleading voters from the truth, all in hopes to keep power and further the decline.
