Is setting expectations based on track record considered pessimism?

Incessant nit picking, negativity and doubt casting is my issue.

And Canada is unrecognizable these days. Why should I think past performance is indicative of future success?

That has unfortunately been very common internet culture since 2020. It was there before the pandemic, but post-pandemic internet never recovered its full whimsy and veered headfirst into a depressive state. Probably says something about everyone's general mood.

You're right, it is unrecognisable, and past performance is not indicative of future success. It will be much worse than past performance.

Sorry, not optimistic enough I suppose :(

As a Canadian I see little reason for optimism
