Thanks for the insight. In Canada, things have been more consistent politically at least. Good point that the same party in power can still result in diverging directions. I don’t feel this as much despite changes in parties at the federal and provincial level over the last dozen years.

E.g. federally, big changes were relaxation of immigration, govt support for lower income earners and cannabis legalization. Provincially (Ontario) govt services like schools and healthcare are being starved, and privatization of previously public services is on the agenda.

Perhaps the water is being boiled slower than I can feel :)
