I guess it's not just Canadians but all over the world. I feel as if the focus of majority of journalist outlets is shifting from actual journalism / news reporting to capturing views for that ad revenue. And the way to do that is to fear monger and focus on the negative news. That's spreading mental health issues because we consume so much negativity all the time

Of course. And while it's easy to blame people getting tired of doom and gloom, it's even easier to ignore the much lower journalistic standards of today. Clickbait everywhere, nothing matters but money. If you want to get actual information, you have to cross-reference half a dozen semi-quality sources five days after the fact when the storm of disinformation made way for what actually happened.

Everyone lies about everything and nobody is being held accountable, least of all by journalists who are more likely to be in on the scam rather then uncovering it.
