Off the top of my head:

Implementing a carbon tax (one of the most effective mechanisms in dealing with climate change, according to most economists and organizations in the climate change sphere.)

Taking on a significant and impressive number of international refugees.

Peacekeeping missions across the globe to many of the most desperate situations and people on Earth.

Rolling out of a national dental plan currently serving low income seniors.

The entire CERB program that was one of the most effective and efficient ways to keep people from the worst of the pandemic... (speaking of which, a death rate of half of Amwrica's iirc.)

A boatload of humanitarian aid and missions, including almost 20 billion to Ukraine.

Fuck's sake, Canada isn't perfect but to say there's nothing to be proud of is either childishly ignorant or trolling.

This is a strong list of good things our government has done for the betterment of Canada, and the world. You have drank some uniquely powerful far-right kool-aid to see that list and think there are the reasons "no one gives a shit about the federal government." These are actions that the majority of Canadians are pleased with.

Get off Facebook, or whatever insane echo chamber is leading you to these absurd delusions and try interacting with a variety of people. This imaginary category of "everyone" you have created in your head is a small, tightly-knit, loud minority.

That sentence doesn't even make sense unless you actually somehow think people are like "fucking government helping seniors again, I wanted them to have rotting teeth!"

What a goof.
