People are braindead here. As a resident of toronto the majority of people wear masks outside and in their fucking cars. We have Gestapo in the streets attacking any anti lockdown protestor, and the authoritarian government is getting out of control
You know Jim Crow laws and slavery? And how they caused big rifts in American society despite being fixed 100 years ago?
Canada has had laws ACTIVELY ENFORCED on the books as recently as 1989. Not some "you can't stable your horse within ten feet of a car" type law that was never enforced in the first place, Canada had internment re-education camps that involved chemical castration and rape as punishment devices in order to exterminate political and genetic undesirables as recently as 1989.
Canada has never outgrown the "authoritarian national socialist party" stage of its existence. That angle finally rested for just over a decade, then 9/11, boom, more authoritarianism right back in. It now merely learned how to put on a pretty outfit over it. When you think of so-called "Western" countries, and then think of the length of time it's been since they've overtly committed atrocities against their own citizenry (real atrocity, not twitter fume-huffing), Canada is the only one that's done it in younger-than-middle-age living memory, whose leaders SUPPORTED these atrocities. (Not support NOW, of course, at least on TV, but supported back then, or their parents supported it and taught them).
Canadians compulsively say "sorry" not because of a cultural quirk, but because of legitimate guilt over crimes they've committed or profited from. The entire country suffers from a weird combination of hero complex, survivor's guilt, standard regular guilt, and white knight syndrome. While Canadians crowed "the underground railroad sent freed would-be American slaves up here to freedom", they chipperly whipped and snapped the bones of other groups, feeling no cognitive dissonance.
As to why this matters? The top ten most paid people by the Canadian government do not include the prime minister nor his cabinet. They're all First Nations "leaders", who live in lavish luxury, while their people starve and languish, and this has been the modus operandi of Canada for a while. Occupy Wall Street may have given Americans a taste of crab-bucket mentality and tossing "race" as a way to distract from real problems, but Canadians perfected that shit decades ago.
And while those in power laugh to the bank, they make sure the little guy feels very, very "sorry" for it all happening. Canada's been subject to identitarian warfare for longer than literally anyone here has been alive, alternating targets every so often: Indigenous, individual tribes WITHIN that overgroup, French, English, Newfies, Americans (VERY popular one), Alberta/Ontario, Toronto/Montreal, FLQ, Catholic, Protestant, Iroquois, Metis, male, female, big business, SMALL business (yup!)... If there was a way to place you into an identity politics bubble, if you're younger than 80 here, then since birth you've been put into as many as possible, with continuous, constant reminders that all the other bubbles are out to get you, except Daddy Government. And so they grovel for Daddy Government, no matter what He does. What are they going to do, vote him out? They do all the time. New boss, same as old boss. Canada's election system is just as fucked as the American one, just in different ways.
TL;DR: Canada, and Canadians, are so fucked by identity politics that they've got ahegaos.
The conservatives and liberals (the minority head of govenment) are the main parties, with the NDP (far-left/union party) coming third place. Quebec also has a seperatist party that recieves significant votes. Ontario & Quebec have the most voting power, with the more right voting provinces (like Alberta) having little. A significant amount of Canada's economy is oil and manufacturing. Oil has been (near) successfully killed by preventing it from moving east or west. Manufacturing has reduced due to cheaper costs elsewhere, especially with expensive unions, who are comparable in wages to private employees, but whose benefits double their cost. A large percentage of the canadian population is a union employee, or government worker (or both) and they hate North American cars, even though they're made with union jobs, and impotant to the economy. Canadians hate business owners, since they never "pay their fair share," and only succeed through "cheating." Canadians often act as if the government is their parent. Quebequois are a special people. Federal Leadership candidates must speak french. You can't spend only as much as you recieve, or pay down the debt, because that would hurt people, and be "uncanadian." Many things are "uncanadian."
-Trudeau & accomplishments:
The Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau) is the son of a former Prime Minister (Pierre Trudeau). Pierre loved deficits, his penchant for doubling debt being inherited by his son. Pierre also was friends with a number of communist leaders, including a number of trips to Cuba where they spent intimate moments with Fidel Castro, both before and after Trudeau's birth. There's even a rumor that Justin may actually be a Castro, which has far more evidence than it should. Pierre was also the first Prime Minister to visit the PRC in 1973 (Nixon did in 1972).
Justin is a feminist, who did blackface multiple times, and groped a female reporter (when younger). He's also an environmentalist who spends $4,700 on electricity and $300 on bottled water per month for his family, and flew 144 people for a climate conference. He's also against inequality, even though he spends $10,000 a month on plane food and hot towels. He and his party have also committed multiple ethics violations that the NDP keep bailing him out of. This includes giving squashing a criminal investigation into party donor (and construction firm) SNC-Lavalin, which has been recently given multiple sole sourced contracts worth hundreds of millions combined. It also includes attempting to give a near a billion dollars to a 'charity' (WE Charity Foundation) to fund a student program. Justin's family had done paid work for WE, which raised a conflict of interest. We Charity Foundation was also not WE Charity, the foundation was a seperate organization started by the people who run WE. It had only recieved a charity status the year prior, had no staff, no track record, and had a stated purpose to "hold real estate." While not amounting to an 'ethics violation,' Justin and the former Minister of Finance attempted to change tax rules that would increase taxes for all forms of business/investments aside from the one they use. Under the Liberals, immigration is set at an additional 1% of the population each year, which compounds. Settling these people is left to municipalities. In 2019 he destroyed a National Emergency Storage facility, along with 5 million N95 masks. In 2020 he sent all remaining masks from the NES & the Red Cross of Canada to China for free. When it was declared a pandemic, parliment took a break for their own safety, only to resume when Trudeau's wife got covid while working for WE in London. Justin is very in favor of the "Great Reset," although he has called it a conspiracy theory, before and after this, he praised its values and called for a reset.
Before he was first elected, Justin mentioned he "appreciated china's basic dictatorship because it allows them to turn their economy around on a dime." The only media who seemed to care was Rebel's founder, while the other media said it was nothing and to shut up. Justin and Jagmeet Singh (the NDP leader) both have spoken favorably of Fidel Castro and his actions. The liberals banned guns (to come into affect this year) because no one needs "assault weapons," and guns militaries use. Legal Magazines already required a permament modification to limit capacity to 4 shots prior to sale. This was in response to the Nova Scotia shooting, which only involved illegal guns (aside form a cop's), and was a complete failure for the RCMP. Legal gun owners in Canada are less likely to commit homicide than the average canadian. The Liberals repeatedly attempt to censor & control information. They failed to require licensing for all media available in Canada because of (very rare) public outrage. They succeeded in bribing nearly all mainstream media. They will probably succeed in banning "hate speech" on social media. What counts as hate speech will have a heavy left-wing, and political bias.
Rebel News has had to successfully sue (along with True North) to be allowed to cover the 2019 election. The NDP leader refused to hear True North's question. Rebel had to sue again immediately after to be allowed to cover other government press events. Keane, a rebel reporter has been body checked by the head of the Canadian Press Gallery (who decides who is allowed a question Trudeau). He has been assaulted by police on behalf of the Liberals for trying to cover an event. He just had the RCMP show up at his home after he posted a leaked document showing that canadian soldiers possibly contracted Covid-19 in Wuhan during military games in October 2019. They were isolated and sent back to Canada, where they were released without testing or further quarantining. Another Rebel reporter, Menzies, was arrested while covering a mayor using an ice rink to play hockey which was barred for use. Rebel's founder has just been charged $3000 for violations of the Elections Act because he associated the Liberals to the Sopranos in his book.
Canada's charter or rights and freedoms (closest thing to US constitution) allows the government to revoke it, and they effectively have.
The Conservative party is currently Liberal-light. It seems to have abandoned all conservative values, and it easily pushed around. The conservatives (provincially and federally) also have a really bad habit of failing to win elections that are set up for them to win. Trudeau would have lost the last election is this wasn't the case. It almost seems intentional.
TL;DR I have always believed that a Leninist-Stalinist style of government and principles are best, and have never and will never say anything against dear leader, eternal shall he reign.
I know we focus on the US here, but what the fuck is going on in Canada?
People are braindead here. As a resident of toronto the majority of people wear masks outside and in their fucking cars. We have Gestapo in the streets attacking any anti lockdown protestor, and the authoritarian government is getting out of control
Rant inbound, tl;dr at bottom.

Trudeau is Prime Minister.
Just posted a video about the gov't kidnapping people even after they have a neg WuFlu test.
Our convicted criminal Heritage Minister is going to start a new agency to censor the internet.
That's just 2 examples off the top of my head.
Strange enough, even though we focus a lot on American politics, most users are non-American.
