David Coletto summarizes a [report](https://abacusdata.ca/from-crisis-to-condition-the-psychology-of-canadian-uncertainty/) by Eddie Sheppard at Abacus.
> Canadians no longer see uncertainty as a phase we are passing through. **Nearly nine in ten** say it is the new normal. It’s a clear psychological statement and a reminder of the importance of understanding the perceptions of your audience.
Sheppard describes how people respond to an unpredictable situation:
> Chronic uncertainty rarely produces dramatic reactions, it produces tightening. 43% say they’ve become more cautious with spending or major purchases. 36% are paying closer attention to news and global developments. 30% are focusing more on personal well-being.
Our time horizon has shortened. We’re more focused on getting through the next few months or years, less concerned about long-term issues.
Made worse by the media almost absolute refusal to talk about the real status of the economy in any real way. They seem completely oblivious to what the average Canadian is going through. The economy is heading for a real crash and burn but they are choosing to ignore it.
