Trudeau had already been in power for 5 years at that point. He was uber woke & embarrassing, but mostly felt like a Biden-style admin that could simply be weathered through.
It was the COVID era that showed how bad things actually were. Every institution was revealed to be ideologically captured. The courts all rubberstamped anything pandemic-related the governments did, no matter how egregious or loony. The police reveled in being tickytack Karens. Trudeau was allowed to print trillions, then everyone went surprised Pikachu when inflation went bonkers later. The Charter of Rights, long seen as analogous to the US Constitution, turned out to be be paperthin & completely unenforceable if Liberal judges just chose to rules lawyer or ignore it. All the provincial-level leaders all turned out to be cucks in lockstep with Trudeau & the feds no matter politicians stripe. The government-subsidized MSM is all Pravda. Most of the populace was easily brainwashed that protesting, White working class truckers driving to Parliament were actually the evil, racist terrorists that deserved to be beaten, jailed & put out of work, not Trudeau & his Laurentian elites. You had police breaking into churches & arresting pastors in their places of worship.
All of the other stuff, the mass Indian immigration, the unquestionable support for Ukraine money laundering, the government-backed Palestine protests, the cringe "Elbows Up" government-sponsored TDS, all came later.
COVID was really a tipping point.
