The RCMP revealing themselves over time to be the crookedest sonsabitches in the country sure hasn't helped matters.

Money isn't finite, that's why billionaires and soon trillionaires exist. They couldn't ( or literally had to be an emperor) when money had a closer relationship to reality or was gold. Anyways, because of the nature of our currency now, the size of their pile has zero effect on the size of your pile. "No new cars, no tech gadgets, no fancy dinners, no vacations, no disposable income." not how it works. If you add up the 20 richest Americans, you get close to 2.7 trillion, which is the estimated amount of physical cash in circulation. None this shit is real. American national debut is 36 trillion. Ever saw an actual cash shortage? Like not a personal one, the money not existing to complete a transaction, like not being able to move cash you hold to another person because of lack of availability of signifiers? Not a thing anymore.

Not the question that was asked. I literally meant internal actions of the federal government that would make a person proud. Doesn't sound like you're very proud of your country either, probably just like the land and your neighbours.

I'm curious what in the hell the federal government has done in anyone's lifetime to engender any pride in this country. Canada isn't a people, it's a federal government, the maple leaf, their symbol. Disregarding the off chance there may be a WW2 veteran lurking here, name one thing "Canada" has done to be proud of since 1970. Not something some guy did, not something some hockey players did, one thing that atrocious excuse for a federal government has ever done to instill any pride in their people, that wasn't fucking propaganda exercises. All I can think of is legalizing gays and hiding Vietnam draftees.

Who cares anymore? Federal government destroyed any idea of patriotism west of Ontario and east of the lower mainland a long time ago. Pursuing "post national state" wankery has consequences.
