Inflation(read: gouging) is a massive problem which isn't being tackled, housing is unaffordable, and the medical systems are underfunded (due in part to the exploitative US system). There's also some conflict in our relations with Mexico which I'm personally pissed about but I don't think most are concerned with.
The opposition party is headed by a far right "populist" who claims the current status quo is "authoritarian socialism" and is supported by Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk.
Liberals are upset with Trudeau for failing to fix the issues listed above and offering no counter to some of the legitimate populist policies Pierre champions.
This is not an issue isolated to Canada, this same story - give or take a few details - is playing out all over the Western world. The liberals are being exposed as lame ducks and losing the support of the people, leaving the faux-populist far right to take their place, in the conspicuous absence - or rather, enforced impotence - of left-populists. The status quo is falling apart and fascism is returning in force, largely unopposed.
We have the same inflation / gouging problem in Australia.
We had a supermarkets inquiry to investigate practices of price gouging. I don't think anyone has any faith that it's going to improve anything.
worldwide the same problems. therefore everyone is being told it‘s the foreigners‘ fault. now everybody‘s getting their individual nationalism/fascism
