Not perfect here either because nothing is and democracies are hard. but worth the work.. We almost just went down a populist route too !!!! Unfortunately you are now infected with authoritarianism snake bit.. and you ALL will have to fight like hell to get rid of it and your rights and freedoms back. ! My heart aches for you and the world watches. But of all the Countries in the entire world...I would bet every single time on the American people to succeed, and beat Russia and trump back into the dirt where they rose out of. :) You will succeed, I KNOW IT
Oh Zev I’m sorry for your doggie. Mine had a bad time getting fixed and literally crossed his legs every time we had to take him to the vet, for the rest of his life!! Honestly! Give him lots of love.
Canada benefited from seeing the monster under the bed, which is the US. Trump scared them into voting intelligently. Your electorate is also likely more educated/informed than most Americans. Good for Canada and good for America! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I agree. I think that seeing Trump is making a lot of the world think about how much they need to have democracy. Look at Gaza where they are protesting against Hamas. Hamas has not done the people of Gaza any good, and they are aware of this.
A lot of deluded citizens who vote irrationally against their own best interests and are guided more by grievance and fear and race than rationality. No other Western nation would’ve elected the guy….but in the US folks did. FAFO.
I’d look at the OECD statistics for education ranking of the country. I suspect some indications of the problem there. Canadian adults also show strong foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and adaptive problem-solving, exceeding the OECD averages in all three domains. I the recent Canadian election, Canadian rejected the Populist hype and the leader of the Conservative Party lost his seat. If an ill-informed citizenry is too gullible to discern danger, perhaps the solution is to use a qualifier test, like obtaining a certain grade in the last year of high school before one is eligible to vote. The problem here would be the socio-economic conditions that work against developing he right skills. But that would force governments to re-invest in education to allow informed universal voting.
It’s really strange to watch Americans not getting exercised about this emergency re: your point about pitchforks. People aren’t panicked AT ALL. Total passivity, general anesthesia, willful neglect about the coup. Paralyzing disbelief; like if folks admitted what’s really happening they would have to DO something about it. Don’t want to shock their Truman Show lives. There are polite peaceful protests, but not the type of pants on fire - general strike insanity - shut the country down protests. It’s surreal. Just business as usual down here. Pretty fucking unreal IMO.
We NEED to study project 2025 to KNOW what the full on PLAN is and what is coming ! Watch Katie Couric with David Graham who just wrote a book ( synopsis) on Project 2025 ! On YouTube a must see !!! We have to know the enemy (plan) to fight it ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYhxJ1hdIVg
I did not hear about Trump planning to arrest mayors, but I assume he would like to be arresting governors like mine in Illinois Pritzker who spoke truth to power.
Congratulations to Canada for doing the right thing and dodging the Maple MAGA bullet.
My friend called me totday to tell me that Trump was going to be coming to the place her sister works, MaComb Community College in Warren Michigan. There is nothing on the College's website, but my friend says that there were people preparing to protest and it was on his public agenda. Then we were wondering why of all the places in the world to spend his 100th day, why Warren, Michigan.
Canada rocks! I am happy in the EU, but if I were living in the US still, I would want to get to Canada. I said in the Trump 1.0 Blue states like mine should have been annexed to Canada because we have more in common. There could be a trade of provinces and states.
Not only would you have all of the things you listed, but you would also have Palantir sucking up all your data in preparation to controlling all of your lives. It is great that Putin did not win either. Thanks.
Yes, many of us would like to be Canadian

Are they accepting freedom-loving immigrants from south of the border?

Why didn’t Americans see the Minster after the first term? Why did Americans elect the Monster yet again? Not smart? Selfishness? Cruelty?
