Me too Canada. Me too. I don't suppose we could convince you to move down here with Trudeau and we kick trump and his supporters up there with your conservatives?
We're about to elect our own mini Trump, so like usual, we act like we're better than the states, but just wait a decade to follow in their footsteps. At least we have Gun Control and Universal Healthcare tho...
For now...
Agreed
For now.
Always be wary.
Poilievre is hardly a mini-Trump. One of the things that made Trump pretty unique is that he was elected President without ever having held any other political office. Poilievre, OTOH, has never had a non-political job.
If there's any Canadian politician who's Trumpish, it would probably be Rob Ford. Son of a wealthy family, scandal after scandal in office, etc.
We're about to elect our own mini Trump? News to me. Sounds like fear mongering. Gunna need a source on that.
Im being a tad bit sendationalist, but if you seriously believe PP wont fuck us far harder than Trudeau has then get you ass back to Alberta
I do believe PP will absolutely fuck us harder than Trudeau. You can state your point without being sensational. I'm also from BC, and vote hard NDP, not that I need to justify that.
I'm simply saying you shouldn't fear-monger unless you have some material to back it up.
Downvoting for honest discussion is also not going to win you any arguments, but carry on. I upvote honest discussion, and encourage you and others to do so. We can talk like adults without telling others to go to another province.
I'm not trying to win an argument by downvoting you, we just have different measures by which we downvote. Shits legitimately bad here already and PP making things worse is a very real and present fear, so yeah, my statement is a LITTLE sensationalist, but the Canadian conservative parties are following the same route as the American conservatives, so no, I dont feel it was worth the attitude you gave me in your first message, hence why I downvoted you. A lot of us are at our limits and losing hope for the future, which is a recipe for facist ideology to take root and our conservatives, PP not being an exception, are amplifying this fear without any real solutions, and a lot of Canadians are starting to buy into that.
Just asked for a source, but whatever. Keep your stick on the ice mate
