The low interest rate era has spawned Canadian household debt to an unsustainable level. This debt has sustained the Canadian economy and not government policy and/or intervention. In order to have a healthy economy there must be some inflation and higher interest rates. However, when this occurs (inflation & higher rates) the debt with be unmanageable and personal bankruptcies will rise.  Trudeau has also incurred significant debt with nothing to show for it. These two conditions together with unabated spending by Trudeau will force them to raise taxes, introduce user fees which will remove disposable income from the Canadian taxpayer which in turn will result in low discretionary spending. Let's not forget the carbon tax which is another burden on the economy.  The economy will tank, and a nasty recession will follow, employment will drop, the Liberals will keep taxing and giving money away to foreign countries and Canadians will suffer.
