Why Canada Feels Broken Now ft. Tristin Hopper
A cautionary look at how Canada drifted into dysfunction.
Tristin Hopper explains why housing, crime, drugs, and politics feel broken.
In this episode, we break down:
- Tristin Hopper’s book Don’t Be Canada and its argument that Canada is becoming uniquely dysfunctional
- Why Canada’s housing affordability crisis, crime concerns, and health care failures are hitting harder than before
- How harm reduction, bail reform, identity politics, and censorship debates have reshaped Canadian life
- Why Trudeau didn’t invent these problems, but accelerated many of them
- What Mark Carney has and hasn’t changed on immigration, energy, criminal justice, and economic policy
- Why younger Canadians are turning more conservative and losing faith in the current system
- How local politics, institutions, and everyday pushback may matter more than federal talking points
- Hosts: Mike Wixson
- Guests: Tristin Hopper
National Post columnist and Don’t Be Canada author Tristin Hopper joins TPL Media for a sharp conversation on Canada’s political direction, rising disorder, affordability pressure, public policy failures, and whether the country can still correct course.
