Even worse, you had the baby boomer talking tough about Trump invading Canada - few pages ago.
As much as I like to keep generational bashing to a minimum, I can't say some people sometimes fucking deserve what is coming to them.
Trump isn't the best solution either.
If you look at what he's doing down south, with the golden visa, with kowtowing to musk and letting in millions of Indians,
Dismantling the US government to basically loot it, etc- we shouldn't applaud the dude.
I actually wanted him to drain the swamp and it deserves to be drained, but he's literally also draining it into the pockets of billionaires. I've yet to see how this is going to turn out in the end, and there is some schadenfreude in watching the deep state literally squirm while Trump gives his tech bro buddies tax breaks;
But in another sense, I don't see much option for Canada other than Trump. The same way the American deep state was corrupt, our Laurentian elites are as well.
I'd like to see the monopolized Canadian market actually open up to competition, and for our business-politics cartels to die off. Thatd be a step forward in my opinion, and the only way that's happening is with economic integration with the US. Imo, an EU like organizations that still gives us sovereignity.
For Canadians protesting that, they have no right. If US companies are willing to drill for oil up north, I'd rather they do it than the Chinese. If Canadians wants to move or work south, we have an entire generation that can't get jobs because of Indians. Keep your healthcare, your governor if you want, but give people choice and beef up the economy while you're at it.
There are problems like the Indians, and I think it will be unpopular, but we're going to have to live with it for awhile now. Maybe said population would diffuse better into a population 10x our size. What you can do in the meantime is to insulate yourself, try to avoid living in neighbourhoods or cities full of them (Brampton) etc.
Conservative or Liberal matters less to me because they've bought into the status quo and embraced Indian voters. I think acceleration for the liberals may unironically be the way to go if the conservatives refuse to address immigration, but who knows. I'm a rando on the internet.
Regardless, the one thing that I would take a stand on is the US. On that, it's unequivocally stupid, asinine, and self destructive of Canadians to not want to link up, let alone constantly shitting on the US.
Want to spend 4 years shitting on Trump and calling him a fascist? Congrats Trudeau, trump hates you and doesn't want to negotiate with a two faced pansy. Want to boo the American anthem at a hockey game? Kudos, you're poking a bear to the south than can literally end your economy on a whim.
We're moving in the opposite direction that we need to be moving in, culturally, and Canadians always remain stupid.
If Americans ever actually give enough of a shit about Canada to be pissed at how nasty we are to their nation on a regular basis (who remembers the convoy and how our biggest insult was 'these terrorists truckers are, gasp, americans'), we will have earned it.
