It's undoubtedly fair to ask whether Canadians are in a better position now than they were five years ago, and point out that the answer is probably no. And it's not hard to see how the focus might be both more relevant to listeners and more likely to sway votes than the Cons' international comparisons.
But isn't it even more striking that the same question applied to the past 30 years would produce the same answer? And is there any reason to think the party which presided over the previous decade-plus of stagnation for working Canadians can expect to benefit from outrage over five more years of the same?
