There's lots of treatises on that here over the past 18 months.
Most of why they are hated are worldwide problems and exaggerated. Leaving Covid out of it as that's a big can of worms, they focussed on a lot of virtue signaling which was a distraction but arguing it's the cause of our economic malaise is doubtful. They spent more than a Carney or Conservative government would have. And therefore needed some tax the rich policies that dampened growth. A lot of the biggest complainers about that are some of the beneficiaries of said spending of course. They talked down our resource sector which dampened growth but it's also mostly on the margins.
A Conservative government reverses all that for a bit of growth but draconian cuts and reckless spending cuts very easily might be worse. They might end a bit of wokeness and clean up our streets a bit but is all that worth it? If they have a concrete plan on these two issues they might get my vote but it will be a reluctant one for sure.
