From what I see and hear over hear the unhappiness in Canada seems to come from their vaccination stage rather than the cases or death rate. Canada, like a lot of the EU have struggled to get vaccines and to then get them in arms and only 3.8% of the population is fully vaccinated, a number that is very low and way down the list compared to other Western countries.
It does seem that a lot of the countries who failed to adequately control the virus were governed by right wing nationalistic parties, USA, UK, Hungary, Czechia, Turkey, Brazil etc. In each of these cases the politicization of the pandemic was a common thread as well. Ironically the two main ones, the US and UK have been amongst the best when it comes to getting the vaccine stage right, although I also think this was probably driven by private companies more than the government itself.
