On election night, October 19, 2015, Canada buzzed with hope.After nearly a decade of Conservative rule, Justin Trudeau, leader of the Liberal Party, was elected prime minister. Trudeau stood on the promise of real change — affordable homes, a thriving middle class, and an inclusive society.Cheering crowds believed they were witnessing a new era, a golden age for Canada. The Canadian dream was alive.Fast forward nearly a decade, and that dream has faded, leaving many Canadians wondering:
