Well to be considered a paper tiger, one has to appear powerful and/or threatening--something Canada is not and never has been. The Liberal Party does want to project the image that Canada is an obscenely wealthy and operates under the delusion that prosperity is measured by government programs and spending. Trudeau is fine with being one of Zelenskyy's sugar daddies, but he abhors the idea of giving the Canadian Forces adequate funding and equipment. The money he promised ($80 billion) is to be paid out over twenty years when it's doubtful that he will be PM past 2025.A lot of it is rehashing the reports that’ve come out recently, but knowing how wide an audience Simon has across his… I wanna say 8 channels, its definitely hitting the wider Internet that this country is a paper tiger, and I feel that’s an insult to the term.
Canada's precarious economic outlook leaves me to wonder if the nation's young adults will follow the example of their peers in China. The condensed version is that there is a movement in called "Bai Lan" (translated to "let it rot") where young adults in the PRC are withdrawing from the workforce due to poor working conditions, crushing competition, and few prospects for a better life. Many of them are university educated, but China's main advantage is low-wage labor so there are few white-collar jobs. Young Canadians have been similarly screwed with the absence of entry-level jobs and the pajeets taking up all the minimum wage jobs, rendering their post-secondary degrees moot. House prices are astronomically high so there is next to zero chance that they will ever own a home and rents are similarly high so there is a solid chance that they may end up living in their car or under an overpass. Factor in increasing cost of living...
It begs the question: why even work hard in this country? The answer is there is no reason to. Trudeau may promise all these gibs, but it's all going to vanish into our bloated bureaucracy that gives you far less for more. At least you're not putting yourself through the wringer if you refuse to participate.
