    America is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. The world is fucked. The only glimmer of hope is Trump drops dead before his term is out.

    America wasn’t built on just immigrants, it was built upon a certain type of immigrants: opportunists who placed greed above everything else. It shows.

        Could have done something about price gouging for the last 4 years but they didn’t

        Don’t blame the voters blame the people in power

      It’s all cyclical.
      South America goes socialist and back every other election.

      And now some idiots believe Trump can bring back the haydays when America ruled the world economically. It’s not gonna happen, just even through population math. China India has more people and can build things cheaper, so what are u gonna do?

      It is capitalist greed and moving manufacturing to China - what completely eroded US technological advantage. And now same capitalists in US think solution is moving manufacturing to India. Ha. Can’t make that up.

      Like ok - hes gonna put up some tariffs which is probably right, but this not gonna cancel China manufacturing advantage - they’re just gonna sell their cars to the rest of the world. And just wait till comac comes out full force and cancels out Boeing and Airbus.

      Like the dumbest thing US did - not fixing shit up with Russia. That’s the energy that powers China manufacturing, who even knows if China would be able to compete as they do without Russian energy. But nooo, we need Ukraine hurr durr.

    The national identity of being Canadian over the last while has been every four years wondering if the downstairs neighbors are going to decide to restart up the meth lab they keep tinkering with and bracing for the sounds of domestic violence to resume.

        Not saying our shit doesn’t stink but there’s a certain matter of scale to consider. Leastaways we don’t have nukes we can hand over to the psychopath we are looking at voting in.

      You’ve described exactly how I feel. And of course, the shit down south is affecting us up here, we have our own lunatic conservatives like Doug Ford, Milhouse and Bernier who aspire to be like the GOP.

        Conservatism is a worldwide problem and they all borrow each other’s notes. It’s not going to be a fun time for us coming up. I can only hope that when the shit hits the fan down there those up here start rethinking their bullshit.

        Attorney Generals are not a police position, they are in fact political. Mostly their office assists various police departments in interpretation of the legal system.
