Le shrug

Angus Reid asks Canadians if they feel they’re better off now than they were five years ago.

But Canadians in general aren’t so sure they’re better off than they were in 2006, when Harper took power, according to the Angus Reid survey. Asked how they felt compared to five years ago, just 30 per cent of those polled said they were much better or moderately off, 29 per cent said they were about the same and 38 per cent felt they were worse off.
