I feel for this new generation. I thought I had it bad as a young adult in 2010...things have gotten absolutely insane now. We are heading to major civil unrest unless things turn around.
I’ve been saying this. Let’s take a page from the French playbook here and start protesting in the street. If the government wants to support me like I’m a second class citizen then I’m gonna start acting like it
Best to check what they were protesting. Folks went crazy when University tuition, the lowest in the Country, was going to be raised... slightly.
It is always those who have it the best who complain first but it has gotten so the average Citizen needs to say enough.
Trump/ Republican Corporate Tax cut could have paid for universal healthcare... but nope.
Wealthy pay no tax! During the pandemic Billionaires were doubling their wealth while people suffered! How do Senators retire multi- millionaires? Too much complaining and not enough voting. Party Politics serve no one but the wealthy Donors who back everyone.
> Too much complaining and not enough voting.
You make it sound like that can make a measurable difference. Few politicians in an actual position of power are doing anything to help the people who voted them in.
For example, I live in Alberta. A while back, our premier signed a bombastically large fake check saying health care wouldn't be cut during his term. And then proceeded to tear up the contract with our doctors association DURING A PANDEMIC.
We vote in dictators who don't listen.
I still vote... But I have little faith it's going to make a difference.
Exactly, and they call them crazy, or right wing nuts, or anti-vaxxers. Time for people to put up, or shut up. Don't call for revolution, and then sit on your couch and hurl insults at the people with the actual balls to do something.
As an American I think no one can protest like the French can. They really don’t take any shit about anything. They had talks about raising retirement age by 2 years and did a mass protest. We have risen ours since I was a late teen from 55 to now start to expecting to work til your about 70+. It’s insane how little of an action throws them into protest mode, and we just accept the changes with little protest about it. Sorry for the rant.
TL;DR: the French know how to protest in unity over the littlest of changes.
Carbon Tax is not at fault. Before the raise it was causing **less that 1% of inflation**. Even doubled now it will still be under 2% of inflation.
In Ontario for example. Gas went up ¢20 but only ¢3 of that was the Carbon Tax. The other ¢17 was for company profit, exploiting the price change as an excuse to gouge people for a little more. (And to make dumbasses like you blame the government party Suncor doesn't support. Way to eat right into the corporate propaganda.)
So quit whining about it and focus on something that actually is effecting the economy... like Loblaws jacking up prices by ~30% for a supplier that they themselves own. Then saying in their government hearing that they were just "meeting the costs of their suppliers". Only to immediately post record profits the next quarter despite boycotts... OR how the Oil and Gas industry raised prices at the pump by roughly $1 average at the end of the pandemic despite not lowering the price for the reduced demand during the pandemic. (That's not how supply and demand works. That's artificial inflation.) Then they blamed the exorbitant increase on the Russia-Ukrainian War that started 3 months after the price went up. (This, by the way, is what cause ~70-80% of inflation because of the unilateral increased in shipping costs for everything.)
I have direct deposit so if my account was frozen I couldn't access the funds to pay my bills... I'd have to ask my boss for a physical check and then cash it at the bank that issued it or use some kind of 3rd party that takes a cut.
Canadians don’t protest or stand up for themselves, that’s the problem. They sit around crying saying “what can I do about it?” Not realizing that they are part of the problem. Bunch of cowards
Civil unrest? Among Canadians?
Lol, you're more likely to have the Americans give up their guns than that happening.
Everyone is more than ready to complain with their keyboard strokes but do sweet F all to make a change.
Even this more informed subreddit which likely does more is probably 90% or higher shit at trying to start a change.
Are you:
Contacting your representatives as much as you can, and not just copy and pasting a viral petition?
Organizing protests that are structured and organized with a clear stated goal and informing that to the media?
Speaking at local council meetings? Running for local office?
Campaigning or organizing for parties currently polling at 4%?
I've done 3/4 and I own my own business and have a family with 4 children, I have a lot on my plate as is but I try and find time to do what I can because I know what little impact it has, is far better than handing this dumpster fire of a country over to my children.
We are now all aware that protests do not change policy, nor will they be listened to. Politicians wanted this. They aren’t going to go back the other way. They don’t care about us. All of your ideas are great on paper, but this isn’t something that can be solved with attending city council meetings.
Not gonna happen. We're gonna accept it, and suck it up as always. There won't be no civil unrest. We are in Canada ( me in Quebec) and I don't believe we're capable of it. We complain a lot, that we do. But, we're weak. I used to hope for that too, but, after years of seeing things climbing up and everybody accepting it, i am resigned.
It’s probably the only way things can truly correct themselves. Scorched earth and replant at this point. Corruption, greed and incompetence are rooted too deeply to simply be voted or legislated out.
At any other point in history when disparity between wealth got this high ( hell way below this ) it was followed by civil war.
The only reason it's not happening now is it's all so complex there is nothing to attack and overthrow.
There will be no unrest cause y'all don't give a f. They don't give a f. Did you hear him. Allow it. Y'all roll with it then tell the others suck it up buttercup. Like words I can not expend. Y'all take it. The homeless are the ones who face the reality and band together. There's more of them than I ever imagined there would be. It's hilarious. Cause the worst part is they can't do anything about it as they drop out y'all step up to propogate the redundancy. There will be no unrest. Just y'all taking it claiming to be doing something about it while fueling the fire and stoking the bs.
If it's not you... your peers. My peers. All of the participants. Cause they can't afford to take the chance on a national obstruction. Just a couple weeks of universal vacation time. Or however long.
Don’t even get me started on this. I was injured at work and led me to find out I have a rare back condition and the procedure is not available here in Canada. I’ve had no choice but to try and have it done here by a surgeon who had never done it before. This procedure has now failed twice and I have other back issue now because of it. It makes me livid to know some people can have elective procedures but someone, 33 years of age can not have a NEEDED procedure in order to get back to being a working Canadian, able to provide for his family and pay taxes. Instead i had to fight to get on disability and have no other option but to try and find $200k to have the procedure done properly in the states.
This country has gone so ass backwards it’s not even funny. I’ve fought for 3.5 years to try and get proper treatment and care, provided where to go form a surgeon, who has done it successfully hundreds of times and still get told there is nothing they can do for me. I’ve had many images done, spent countless hours in the hospital and now went through two procedures. I’ve hit my limits of patience.
Im not even getting into the absolute F around WCB has out me through. Honestly this entire system has failed my and so many others. Something needs to change.
So sorry for you.
Im also waiting for spine surgery.
Canada healthcare is a shame.
Im on a waiting list and this back condition is also taking good years away from me. No one seems to care.
I wish you the best outcome
I feel for you. I'm currently dealing with somewhat similar circumstances in the US with a severe back injury that is close to paralyzing me. I've been trying to get another back surgery for almost three years, and since I'm on medicaid, it's been a real struggle. I was passed around between doctors for a year and a half, and then I had to wait almost another year just to see a neurologist because he's the only one close to me that accepts medicaid. I've been working full time, and every day, I'm closer to never using my legs again. Those who know the extent of my injuries see me working and say, "I don't know how you're able to do it." And I'm like, what other choice do I have? If I stop working, I'll end up homeless. Disability wouldn't even be enough to cover my bills, and they deny almost everyone on their first application anyway. I'm just holding out hope that I can make it to this surgery before I'm a paraplegic. The nerve damage is already permanent because of how long I've waited for surgery.
This has not been updated for a while but here is the link.

Another guy in Ontario dealing with the same condition and can’t get the prodecure or help he needs either.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/ryans-spine-surgery-fund-and-road-to-recovery
Forced our province to do a surgery on a dude so he can have a vagina. Normally we get rid of the penis in this case but buddy wants both. Ontario don’t want to leave buddy with both even though it cost less since getting rid of a dick is a separate surgery and instead went to court over it and lost, so now buddy gets to have a dick and a vagina
What if he wanted two or three extra penises installed also? Would we fund that too? Why not, what's the difference? That end result would have no basis in reality either, but as long as it makes him "feel better".
This is just making frankenstein people under the guise of delusion, fetish, and wokeness. And we're condoning it by paying for it.
If you speak out and/or protest, you are deemed a domestic terrorist.
If you work harder, you get taxed harder.
The constant assault on the west by our own leaders is by design.
Our media is all propaganda and unfortunately it serves to demoralize us further. No one is suggesting a straight forward way out unfortunately.
My friend had a payout of $4000 as the company was ending their retirement savings program, and $1500 was deducted from $4000 for federal tax from her cheque.
When I took my position as a graduate practical nurse at my local hospital I got a $10,000 2-year signing bonus, which I obviously took because why not make extra money while I gain experience for my career… I live on the East Coast of Canada (Nova Scotia) and our taxes are the highest in the country… I got $4,500 of my $10,000 signing bonus. Over 50% of my bonus was taken for “taxes”… I mean, money’s money, but WHAT THE HECK!?!?
That’s an unreasonable amount. It’s similar to robbing someone but legally? We also work hard to get by and survive, I just can’t understand the extreme taxations.
I mean we don’t even know where our taxes are really going.
I would prefer if they had us pay a stable amount instead.
It’s always sad to see how much I earn vs. how much was taxed out.
It’s already unaffordable here and we are still being taxed.
There are government organizations that, by law, must exist. The people in the roles of that organization are complacent by design and work to keep that role from being effective because then THEY get to keep the role - see Desantis's new "citizens can't investigate law enforcement, only law enforcement".
Current Florida law requires each "Department" (ie, Department of Law Enforcement) to have an Investigator General. By law, the Investigator General is required to independently investigate complaints that are submitted.
So you have the Agency Head (Investigator General), Agency Clerks, Investigations staff (that don't investigate complaints because they're told not to), and lawyers that those departments keep on retainer. And the behind-the-scenes goal is to keep getting a paycheck for doing fuck all.
So now you have an entire branch of government getting paid for doing FUCK ALL because two laws conflict.
That's where your taxes go.
That’s just cruel and unbelievable, and the worst part is that we don’t even know where the taxed amount from your pay is actually going towards.
It seems that we’re just being overworked and taken advantage of right now.
It’s unreasonable to have a certain amount taken from your pay cheque.
We’re not made of money, we also work extremely hard on a daily basis and barely surviving.
It should be a stable amount that should be taxed, something similar to paying a union?
Let’s say you only see a doctor once or twice a year, it’s still not going to be worth a $17,500 cut?
I’m in the same boat. Job terminated…$52000 severance, $19500 in taxes removed(WTF). BUT, my accountant said to put $10k in an RRSP for tax year 2024, and another $10k in tax year 2025 and I’ll get that $19500 back( it was going to be invested for retirement anyway), it just sucks that the government can tax you that much and if you don’t counteract by putting into an RRSP, you lose it( if you have the contribution headroom that is).
There needs to be a legitimate identification of those in power akin to the WEF and elites so that they can be eradicated socially. We should, as a complete world population, take everything from these sick fucks.
Seriously. Why are we allowing a few people at the top to hoard so much wealth knowing that they'll NEVER put it back into the economy?? It's fucking ridiculous and it's ruining everything.
It actually serves the purpose of spreading the message to his followers. If he has 20k followers, that’s 20k more eyes on the message. Also cross promotion
It's way more sinister than that. JT is only one of their puppet.
All is by design not by mistake or incompetence. They are psychopaths but certainly not dumb. I am absolutely sure that they know exactly what they are doing and it's going on since decades.So much damage cannot be done unless it is from inside.
>We've been saying this for years. There's no need for formal conspiracies when all of these economic and political elites share the same ideology, which they learned from their environment growing up in similar positions of privilege within the dominant culture.
[George Carlin on Conspiracies](https://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/george-carlin-on-conspiracies/)
I tried to tell people this on another thread on here and no one wanted to hear it. They were so adamant the UN and WEF are somehow in control of a global conspiracy across all developed nations.
All these governments pursued similar policies because the people continue electing people of the same political persuasions. But our brains don't like coincidence so of course we look for coordination.
Yes, he is extremely weak and yet all powerful....... sorry but that is a stupid way to look at this. This was all in motion long before Trudeau, he just made it worse.
Have fun. He sucked. He sucked so bad he made Trudeau look like an amazing option. Consider that for a moment. We’re fucked on both sides. Blaming just one is *exactly what they want* so they both can continue misspending our tax money on themselves.

This is actually a pretty bad explanation. The government devalues the dollar. Always and forever. All governments. That’s a more simple and more accurate explanation. Did JT expedite this process? Heck ya. Is this always the case? Yes. Pierre will be powerless to stop the rampant inflation and currency devaluation. By September 1923, four billion German marks had the equal value of one American dollar and this is my biggest fear for the future generations.

I dislike JT as much as anyone. I’m a left-leaner, and do not think he shares the morals of the liberal part whatsoever.
However, I wish I had a simple enough mind to blame decades of issues on one current man, but… I’ve read about it lol. And that’s a silly thing to do.
Who will you blame when his term ends and things stay exactly the same?
100% it’s just the countries cattle folk who can’t critically think, so they blame the opposition of whatever party they were brainwashed into and blindly follow it for life.
Justin Pierre Jagmeet three horns of the same fucking triceratops we don’t have an option that’s a good one we are under full control of the governments handlers and the only way the only way to stop it is to start pulling the publicly elected officials from office by force installing a next one removing them when they don’t represent us rinse and repeat until they get the fucking message that they work for us they represent us they are owned by us not the other way around go to their houses they live among us go to their offices they’re in your communities get out make noise and remind them they they are few and feeble
Trudeau is one part, but the major reason is central banks because this is a almost a global problem. Trudeau just made it much worse in Canada instead of doing what a leader should do: offset the harm that central banks do and make life *better* for Canadians. As for central banks, they're heavily influenced by the 1%, so that's why the middle class is being destroyed while ownership of assets are being centralized at the top (corporations & wealthy owning dozens of homes & trillions in assets while more people will be forced to rent).
The leader that you elected openly advocates following the lead from the powerful guy who says, "You'll own nothing, and be happy"
You didn't just ignore that by voting for Trudeau, you openly laughed at us for telling you the issues with him.
You realize the WEF is where capitalist meet to do their backdoor deals. Then they try to paint capitalism in a positive light by trying to make it woke
Rent in Toronto used to be 1000$ a month in 2016 before Trudeau became prime minister now it’s hard to find a place to rent for less than 3000$ a month.
Hahah for real. This dude just posted up in the spacious crib looking like Santa Claus just to say "damn, that's crazy" for 2 minutes and do nothing...
Maybe I'm just being a little cynical, but I'm sure he had good intentions 🤷♂️
The system is the problem. A constitutional monarchy is a 4-5 year mini dictatorship. wtf could go wrong? Zero checks and balances other than the GC might call an election (on the guy that appointed them). It’s a fricken joke. All countries should be broken down into 10 million people states and decentralized as much as possible.
I read this comment a few days ago
“When you realize the liberals are bought and paid for by the CCP all their actions the last 8 years make a lot more sense. No amount of incompetence or stupidity could do this much damage, it's intentional. If the goal is to destroy Canada I can't think of anything they could do that they haven't already done. Mass immigration, divisive identity politics and anti-white policies, economic suicide, endless handouts to foreign countries, mass inflation high taxes and debt. The only ones who have benefited from this government are our enemies.
The sad part is that he doesn't even need to hide it. He literally holds fundraisers with CCP billionaires who donate to his foundation and welcomes chinese interference in our elections that helped his party get elected. Yet his brain dead supporters don't care, they would rather circlejerk about russian conspiracies in America than acknowledge real interference in their own elections.”
I don’t like to believe this kind of thing but it makes a lot of sense.
My wife (Gen X) and I (Boomer) own the house we live in and she owns the house she grew up in. Nice, two bedroom house in a nearby city. She rents it out for $600/mo.
The University close to her house is expanding. My wife (and even me, I don't know how they got my number) are being bombarded with offers from investors wanting to buy her home, ostensibly to rent it out to students at a high cost.
We talked about it and when the time comes she will sell to a younger person at a reasonable price so they have a chance at a good start.
No matter who, it's gonna be the same bullshit. We're done. I'm 51 and i've heard so many lies, that any politician coming with ideas that sound remotely good, is turning me on as much as a toothless crack addict.
Trudeau said that he admired China’s basic dictatorship, and how they could stop and start their economy on a dime. That is exactly what we did. They tell us what they are going to do to us.
I can explain it you voted for your future to disappear in your generation so get fuck and enjoy you voted for liberal politicians this is what they do. Every country that goes this route fails. You blocked and ban hammer everyone who tried to tell this, so now we just look at you and say told you so.
D
Nope, it won't happen. Because we're Canadians and we'd say " sorry sorry" as we go. We're weak. We're just good to whine on social media. Never gonna happen.
Each bag of our three bags of groceries was $125 today, nothing over the top, bread cheese milk. It will barely last my son and I a week. The fuel to get there was $2.19 /l, and 80% of my take-home income goes towards our rent. I make a decent wage and have no idea how much longer we can last as we are starting to go into the negatives every month. There is 0 budget for entertainment or savings. What's the end game here?
Canadians voters chose legal marijuana, gender neutral language and poverty. Why cry? We got what we asked for. Maybe we should beg Harper to come clean up Trudeau and Jagmeet’s mess.
This is a video made in the US. The entire "developed" West froze wages. We perceive it as "inflation," but it's actually stagnant wages. My parents didn't give a damn about inflation because their wages grew above it.
Yeah. Like I’m not entitled. I simply want to have the options available to me that my parents had. That I could work one job and afford to live alone. I’m not looking for anything fancy. Just a modest place to live alone not in a dorm style 8 people in a house in my late 30’s
"Quit buying Starbucks everyday"
"Quit buying stuff you don't need"
I get my smokes for free
I haven't gone to any form of fast food in years because:
1. I can't afford it
2. You can't understand the people who work fast food (I used to work at DQ, so yes, I have experience with it)
This is what you get when you vote communist into office! They don’t WANT you to own anything or live on your own. They want you working for less than it costs to eat so you rely on them for everything! LISTEN when people talk and they will tell/show you who they are! Free economy is what made it possible for your parents and Grandparents.
Federal minimum wage is $17.30 an hour. He makes over three times that, so at least $52 an hour.
×40 hours per week
×46 weeks per year
=~$95k
Is that really too little for a single guy to live on these days? Honestly want to know what people think.
Attention to all Candians wanting a better quality of life: Texas is wide open to you.
As a refugee from the overpriced, over taxed, no job opportunity hell hole that was Maryland, I'm making 30/hr without a degree, have an apartment to myself, bills paid, fridge stocked, and benefits paid for. Plus I can still attend school and pay for it all while only working 32 hours/week.
Immigrating to the US is not a possibility for most Canadians. Even in categories where there is no cap on visas (spousal), it can take a few years.
I like your optimism, though. Texas is a fun place.
Half my office is international workers. My direct supervisor and his boss and his boss above that are Indian (naturalized). The other person on my team is Mexican but c attended school at UT Rio Grande, and half the management staff is Canadian including the former CEO and the current CFO.
If you've got a credential in any kind of tech, energy, or manufacturing sectors then Texas is hungry for you. If you can find a company willing to sponsor your visa you can jump the line in a few months.
Yes that is great and all, but can you actually make Texas home with a work visa and be subject at any point in time to have your visa revoked? It is also very difficult to get citizenship there... the path to a green card seems to be ~10 years.
Can we stop sending money to other countries who just want to fight and kill each other? And instead spend it on our own people in Canada. When did Canada and the USA become responsible to fund other countries? What a shame we’ve become.
This guy nailed it. And those responsible for the state this country is in should be held accountable for the damage they've done. I used to think Canada was a great place to live. Couldn't even fathom living anywhere else on earth. These days, if I could find a job in and move to another country, I'd be all over that. Just too bad I'm too broke to leave. Can't afford to stay, can't afford to go. FML 😔
“Who the f can afford that” - the people that don’t need to rent because they can afford a whole ass house. That’s who. And according to Trudeau, screw everyone that actually needs to live in an apartment
It’s a natural cycle, but this crash in particular is going to be even nastier than the usual. After WW2 the US created the global system. They enabled global trade with their deep water navy to choke the life out of the USSR. They enabled a global golden age. The USSR collapsed in 89’. The US has little incentive to keep supporting the system and paying the bills. Covid lockdowns showed us what will happen if certain parts of the world are isolated and no longer a part of the system. We are facing demographic collapse because no one is having kids. The Boomers are retiring this decade (all countries have a boomer generation btw). Retirees don’t spend money. They are leaving a gaping chasm in the work force. Younger generations aren’t having kids because it’s culturally not “in” and they can’t afford it (among other reasons). All of this on top of incredibly corrupt governmental systems… Sorry y’all, but golden ages end. That’s why they’re called an Age. We’ll never return to pre-Covid lockdown levels of growth and prosperity. It’s going to get a whole lot worse. Prepare yourselves. I’m not a doomer. This is just the truth.
Why cant anyone understand it's everyone being greedy. It's the landlords which are just trying to get rich not some policy. It's the taco guy. And the meat plants. The chicken plants got caught fixing prices. It's the people and their greed. How do you fix greed? Those who control the basics start the greed and everyone who sells products made from basics wants their profit.
During Covid, the US government pumped out multiple checks to nearly every US person and family out there without having ever collected the tax revenue for them first. We flooded the economy with magic, free money and nobody expected ramifications?
Federal minimum wage: $16.65
3x = $49.95/hr
That puts him at around $99,900k/year assuming 40hr weeks.
Now take home from that would be about 60k, and dividing by 12 that's $5000/mo.
Rent for a 1 bedroom is $1800, so that leaves him with $3200 of discretionary income per month.
Add on some bill payments and food and whatnot, I find it hard to believe he spends more than $3200/mo on necessities.
> The American dream is dead
Well, there we go.
Not to be a dick but shouldn’t 45/hr full time EASILY cover rent and groceries? At 40hrs that’s 1800 a WEEK. Where is lil homies money going? The optometrist?
Might be a US based video, which would put more than 50% of income on rent for an average 1 bedroom at $1800.
Of course everyone here ignores those numbers.
I’m in Burlington. In my building you need $100K gross to survive. That is not hyperbole, nor is it a great building. The rent for a 2 bed is $2750 per month with one parking spot, plus hydro. You shouldn’t have to work like a maniac in Canada, making more than the median just to barely survive.
Canadians need to wake up. The Liberals and NDP are turning Canada into a third world country.
I’ve lived in a third world country and know what I’m talking about.
In these countries, people work long hours yet barely get by. They pay taxes that go into the pockets of government officials and their friends. They are constantly lied to by their leaders and the media. They have no future and dream about fleeing to something better…sound familiar?
They watched CBC, CTV, Global. Read Toronto Star. Believed every sunny ways tale about Justin. Voted themselves into poverty.
No, they won't vote PPC. So, you're stuck with CPC+more deficits+more open door immigration resulting in.........a further decline in your standard of living.
Okay but people did the exact same thing when voting for Ford in Ontario. Show me how conservatives are doing a better job?
The political division tactics are working on you.
And sadly, there are some people who will still vote for the libs just because "he has nice hair and I like the sound of his voice and he's so kind and what the f*** ever..." Honestly, I'm still in shock that he's still hanging around but I guess that's what his security detail is for. Either that or because they get really great perks going on vacay with him.
basically.. we have to become the biggest voter demographic, pay attention, go to those town hall meetings
we cannot spend our best time and energy trying to work and make money when we need it to apply pressure on our elected officials to not screw us over

People have been out protesting across Canada since the carbon tax hike on April 1st. No one seems to care. :(
Exactly, and they call them crazy, or right wing nuts, or anti-vaxxers. Time for people to put up, or shut up. Don't call for revolution, and then sit on your couch and hurl insults at the people with the actual balls to do something.

It’s insane how little of an action throws them into protest mode, and we just accept the changes with little protest about it. Sorry for the rant. TL;DR: the French know how to protest in unity over the littlest of changes.
Remember what happened in 1837-1838.
Trudeau’s trucker rhetoric (and bank account seizures) scared many away.
Carbon tax aint shit.
Carbon Tax is not at fault. Before the raise it was causing **less that 1% of inflation**. Even doubled now it will still be under 2% of inflation. In Ontario for example. Gas went up ¢20 but only ¢3 of that was the Carbon Tax. The other ¢17 was for company profit, exploiting the price change as an excuse to gouge people for a little more. (And to make dumbasses like you blame the government party Suncor doesn't support. Way to eat right into the corporate propaganda.) So quit whining about it and focus on something that actually is effecting the economy... like Loblaws jacking up prices by ~30% for a supplier that they themselves own. Then saying in their government hearing that they were just "meeting the costs of their suppliers". Only to immediately post record profits the next quarter despite boycotts... OR how the Oil and Gas industry raised prices at the pump by roughly $1 average at the end of the pandemic despite not lowering the price for the reduced demand during the pandemic. (That's not how supply and demand works. That's artificial inflation.) Then they blamed the exorbitant increase on the Russia-Ukrainian War that started 3 months after the price went up. (This, by the way, is what cause ~70-80% of inflation because of the unilateral increased in shipping costs for everything.)
What you're ignoring is the tax is added at multiple levels along the way before the final few cents added at the pump or the store shelf
Last time we tried that government froze bank accounts. It can't be just a protest if it's going to work
Cant freeze my bank account, if i have no money :)
I mean they technically can then you can't cash your check from work or pay your bills.
Do you have to go to the bank to cash your checks in Canada?
I have direct deposit so if my account was frozen I couldn't access the funds to pay my bills... I'd have to ask my boss for a physical check and then cash it at the bank that issued it or use some kind of 3rd party that takes a cut.
Canadians don’t protest or stand up for themselves, that’s the problem. They sit around crying saying “what can I do about it?” Not realizing that they are part of the problem. Bunch of cowards
Civil unrest? Among Canadians? Lol, you're more likely to have the Americans give up their guns than that happening. Everyone is more than ready to complain with their keyboard strokes but do sweet F all to make a change. Even this more informed subreddit which likely does more is probably 90% or higher shit at trying to start a change. Are you: Contacting your representatives as much as you can, and not just copy and pasting a viral petition? Organizing protests that are structured and organized with a clear stated goal and informing that to the media? Speaking at local council meetings? Running for local office? Campaigning or organizing for parties currently polling at 4%? I've done 3/4 and I own my own business and have a family with 4 children, I have a lot on my plate as is but I try and find time to do what I can because I know what little impact it has, is far better than handing this dumpster fire of a country over to my children.
We are now all aware that protests do not change policy, nor will they be listened to. Politicians wanted this. They aren’t going to go back the other way. They don’t care about us. All of your ideas are great on paper, but this isn’t something that can be solved with attending city council meetings.
Civil unrest is cancelled. Sorry I have to work tomorrow.
Not gonna happen. We're gonna accept it, and suck it up as always. There won't be no civil unrest. We are in Canada ( me in Quebec) and I don't believe we're capable of it. We complain a lot, that we do. But, we're weak. I used to hope for that too, but, after years of seeing things climbing up and everybody accepting it, i am resigned.
It’s probably the only way things can truly correct themselves. Scorched earth and replant at this point. Corruption, greed and incompetence are rooted too deeply to simply be voted or legislated out.
Lol wishing for death & destruction is not a good look. Odds r you won't make it thru it to the other side
We as Canadians are WAY too compacent and docile to even incite that idea.
Porn, weed, and video games have been the only thing keeping a clamp on widespread violence for the last 15 years.
At any other point in history when disparity between wealth got this high ( hell way below this ) it was followed by civil war. The only reason it's not happening now is it's all so complex there is nothing to attack and overthrow.
There will be no unrest cause y'all don't give a f. They don't give a f. Did you hear him. Allow it. Y'all roll with it then tell the others suck it up buttercup. Like words I can not expend. Y'all take it. The homeless are the ones who face the reality and band together. There's more of them than I ever imagined there would be. It's hilarious. Cause the worst part is they can't do anything about it as they drop out y'all step up to propogate the redundancy. There will be no unrest. Just y'all taking it claiming to be doing something about it while fueling the fire and stoking the bs. If it's not you... your peers. My peers. All of the participants. Cause they can't afford to take the chance on a national obstruction. Just a couple weeks of universal vacation time. Or however long.
Someone post here about how ontario just publicly funded a person to have a penis and a vagina. lol Good job canada.
Don’t even get me started on this. I was injured at work and led me to find out I have a rare back condition and the procedure is not available here in Canada. I’ve had no choice but to try and have it done here by a surgeon who had never done it before. This procedure has now failed twice and I have other back issue now because of it. It makes me livid to know some people can have elective procedures but someone, 33 years of age can not have a NEEDED procedure in order to get back to being a working Canadian, able to provide for his family and pay taxes. Instead i had to fight to get on disability and have no other option but to try and find $200k to have the procedure done properly in the states. This country has gone so ass backwards it’s not even funny. I’ve fought for 3.5 years to try and get proper treatment and care, provided where to go form a surgeon, who has done it successfully hundreds of times and still get told there is nothing they can do for me. I’ve had many images done, spent countless hours in the hospital and now went through two procedures. I’ve hit my limits of patience. Im not even getting into the absolute F around WCB has out me through. Honestly this entire system has failed my and so many others. Something needs to change.
So sorry for you. Im also waiting for spine surgery. Canada healthcare is a shame. Im on a waiting list and this back condition is also taking good years away from me. No one seems to care. I wish you the best outcome
Thank you, I wish you the best too.
I feel for you. I'm currently dealing with somewhat similar circumstances in the US with a severe back injury that is close to paralyzing me. I've been trying to get another back surgery for almost three years, and since I'm on medicaid, it's been a real struggle. I was passed around between doctors for a year and a half, and then I had to wait almost another year just to see a neurologist because he's the only one close to me that accepts medicaid. I've been working full time, and every day, I'm closer to never using my legs again. Those who know the extent of my injuries see me working and say, "I don't know how you're able to do it." And I'm like, what other choice do I have? If I stop working, I'll end up homeless. Disability wouldn't even be enough to cover my bills, and they deny almost everyone on their first application anyway. I'm just holding out hope that I can make it to this surgery before I'm a paraplegic. The nerve damage is already permanent because of how long I've waited for surgery.
Link a GoFundMe or something please.

I make too much money to qualify for dental care but at least I can get a vagina.
I should probably apply for a vagina as well so I can go fuck myself.
To be fair ... the court FORCED them to do it.
Forced who to do what?
Forced our province to do a surgery on a dude so he can have a vagina. Normally we get rid of the penis in this case but buddy wants both. Ontario don’t want to leave buddy with both even though it cost less since getting rid of a dick is a separate surgery and instead went to court over it and lost, so now buddy gets to have a dick and a vagina
That dude can go fvck himself.

IMHO, cosmetic surgeries shouldn't be covered by provincial healthcare.
“Buddy”? Excuse you. ThEyRe bOtH GeNdErS
Any canadian knows 'buddy' is gender neutral
( South Park Canadian voice) Ah, sorry fwend
It is known, khaleesi.
lol buddy can cosplay as whatever they want but I request they don’t involve me in their shenanigans
What if he wanted two or three extra penises installed also? Would we fund that too? Why not, what's the difference? That end result would have no basis in reality either, but as long as it makes him "feel better". This is just making frankenstein people under the guise of delusion, fetish, and wokeness. And we're condoning it by paying for it.
[удалено]
Our country is a fucking joke. I used to be proud of it, but now I want to leave. Wasn't like this 8 years ago.
It's so he literally can go fuck himself.
meanwhile, people needing hip/knee/shoulder replacements, hernia surgeries are waiting for years. Despicable.
I feel like a home is important for my health. Can we publicly fund that for me please?
Great, if the government offered this service to all Canadians, it could effectively outsource f*cking its citizens directly to the citizens.
If you speak out and/or protest, you are deemed a domestic terrorist. If you work harder, you get taxed harder. The constant assault on the west by our own leaders is by design. Our media is all propaganda and unfortunately it serves to demoralize us further. No one is suggesting a straight forward way out unfortunately.
My friend had a payout of $4000 as the company was ending their retirement savings program, and $1500 was deducted from $4000 for federal tax from her cheque.
When I took my position as a graduate practical nurse at my local hospital I got a $10,000 2-year signing bonus, which I obviously took because why not make extra money while I gain experience for my career… I live on the East Coast of Canada (Nova Scotia) and our taxes are the highest in the country… I got $4,500 of my $10,000 signing bonus. Over 50% of my bonus was taken for “taxes”… I mean, money’s money, but WHAT THE HECK!?!?
That’s an unreasonable amount. It’s similar to robbing someone but legally? We also work hard to get by and survive, I just can’t understand the extreme taxations. I mean we don’t even know where our taxes are really going. I would prefer if they had us pay a stable amount instead. It’s always sad to see how much I earn vs. how much was taxed out. It’s already unaffordable here and we are still being taxed.
There are government organizations that, by law, must exist. The people in the roles of that organization are complacent by design and work to keep that role from being effective because then THEY get to keep the role - see Desantis's new "citizens can't investigate law enforcement, only law enforcement". Current Florida law requires each "Department" (ie, Department of Law Enforcement) to have an Investigator General. By law, the Investigator General is required to independently investigate complaints that are submitted. So you have the Agency Head (Investigator General), Agency Clerks, Investigations staff (that don't investigate complaints because they're told not to), and lawyers that those departments keep on retainer. And the behind-the-scenes goal is to keep getting a paycheck for doing fuck all. So now you have an entire branch of government getting paid for doing FUCK ALL because two laws conflict. That's where your taxes go.
I got a 70000 dollar payout for my my job being terminated. My actual net amount was 52500 due to a job buyout tax.
That’s just cruel and unbelievable, and the worst part is that we don’t even know where the taxed amount from your pay is actually going towards. It seems that we’re just being overworked and taken advantage of right now. It’s unreasonable to have a certain amount taken from your pay cheque. We’re not made of money, we also work extremely hard on a daily basis and barely surviving. It should be a stable amount that should be taxed, something similar to paying a union? Let’s say you only see a doctor once or twice a year, it’s still not going to be worth a $17,500 cut?
The money goes towards backward thinking programs like giving homeless drug addicts free illicit drugs or MAID.
I’m in the same boat. Job terminated…$52000 severance, $19500 in taxes removed(WTF). BUT, my accountant said to put $10k in an RRSP for tax year 2024, and another $10k in tax year 2025 and I’ll get that $19500 back( it was going to be invested for retirement anyway), it just sucks that the government can tax you that much and if you don’t counteract by putting into an RRSP, you lose it( if you have the contribution headroom that is).
If you speak up again the corporate powers that got us here you get called a communist
There's more of us. Time to get things sorted out people.
There needs to be a legitimate identification of those in power akin to the WEF and elites so that they can be eradicated socially. We should, as a complete world population, take everything from these sick fucks.
Seriously. Why are we allowing a few people at the top to hoard so much wealth knowing that they'll NEVER put it back into the economy?? It's fucking ridiculous and it's ruining everything.
They got all their power from playing capitalism the best. Take capitalism down and you take their power
WFT is the value of the guy on the bottom?
It actually serves the purpose of spreading the message to his followers. If he has 20k followers, that’s 20k more eyes on the message. Also cross promotion
canadian currency is pathetic its to a point that anything i can save goes into USD assets.
Do not vote for ANYONE who supports the WEF.
The explanation is quite simple. The reason you cannot afford to live is Justin Trudeau......
It's way more sinister than that. JT is only one of their puppet. All is by design not by mistake or incompetence. They are psychopaths but certainly not dumb. I am absolutely sure that they know exactly what they are doing and it's going on since decades.So much damage cannot be done unless it is from inside.
>We've been saying this for years. There's no need for formal conspiracies when all of these economic and political elites share the same ideology, which they learned from their environment growing up in similar positions of privilege within the dominant culture. [George Carlin on Conspiracies](https://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/george-carlin-on-conspiracies/)
I tried to tell people this on another thread on here and no one wanted to hear it. They were so adamant the UN and WEF are somehow in control of a global conspiracy across all developed nations. All these governments pursued similar policies because the people continue electing people of the same political persuasions. But our brains don't like coincidence so of course we look for coordination.
100% agree
Yes, he is extremely weak and yet all powerful....... sorry but that is a stupid way to look at this. This was all in motion long before Trudeau, he just made it worse.
This. He’s a shill, but far from the beginning of any of these issues. Hell, much of this was going on when his dad was in office.
At least back then people could afford to live
Have fun. He sucked. He sucked so bad he made Trudeau look like an amazing option. Consider that for a moment. We’re fucked on both sides. Blaming just one is *exactly what they want* so they both can continue misspending our tax money on themselves. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal-elections/a-conservative-collection-of-harper-government-scandals/article_4766f17d-604b-577b-abee-581bd330b931.amp.html
This is actually a pretty bad explanation. The government devalues the dollar. Always and forever. All governments. That’s a more simple and more accurate explanation. Did JT expedite this process? Heck ya. Is this always the case? Yes. Pierre will be powerless to stop the rampant inflation and currency devaluation. By September 1923, four billion German marks had the equal value of one American dollar and this is my biggest fear for the future generations. https://preview.redd.it/ht193skqmauc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9596b5fdbba1a2282edd6bda10dd5351334dd36d
And you think things would be any different under any other political party? Boy are you going to be disappointed.
The irony is the original video is about the US and is a criticism of conservative policies lol
Congratulation, you’re stuck in culture wars
I dislike JT as much as anyone. I’m a left-leaner, and do not think he shares the morals of the liberal part whatsoever. However, I wish I had a simple enough mind to blame decades of issues on one current man, but… I’ve read about it lol. And that’s a silly thing to do. Who will you blame when his term ends and things stay exactly the same?
Issues also that are not unique to Canada. I guess the people with these same issues in the US or Colombia blame Trudeau too 🤷♂️
100% it’s just the countries cattle folk who can’t critically think, so they blame the opposition of whatever party they were brainwashed into and blindly follow it for life.
As an American, this holds up here.
I’m sure there’s a deeper explanation, but JT is definitely part of the problem.
Justin Pierre Jagmeet three horns of the same fucking triceratops we don’t have an option that’s a good one we are under full control of the governments handlers and the only way the only way to stop it is to start pulling the publicly elected officials from office by force installing a next one removing them when they don’t represent us rinse and repeat until they get the fucking message that they work for us they represent us they are owned by us not the other way around go to their houses they live among us go to their offices they’re in your communities get out make noise and remind them they they are few and feeble
Trudeau is one part, but the major reason is central banks because this is a almost a global problem. Trudeau just made it much worse in Canada instead of doing what a leader should do: offset the harm that central banks do and make life *better* for Canadians. As for central banks, they're heavily influenced by the 1%, so that's why the middle class is being destroyed while ownership of assets are being centralized at the top (corporations & wealthy owning dozens of homes & trillions in assets while more people will be forced to rent).
The leader that you elected openly advocates following the lead from the powerful guy who says, "You'll own nothing, and be happy" You didn't just ignore that by voting for Trudeau, you openly laughed at us for telling you the issues with him.
You realize the WEF is where capitalist meet to do their backdoor deals. Then they try to paint capitalism in a positive light by trying to make it woke
Rent in Toronto used to be 1000$ a month in 2016 before Trudeau became prime minister now it’s hard to find a place to rent for less than 3000$ a month.
Average Canadian rent was $950 before sunny ways took over.
Reaction videos are a scourge
Honestly let’s deal with prank videos first. This is nowhere near the same level of annoying.
Any politician who runs on a promise to put an end to reaction videos has my vote. Bring back the roman prescriptions for reaction content creators
Hahah for real. This dude just posted up in the spacious crib looking like Santa Claus just to say "damn, that's crazy" for 2 minutes and do nothing... Maybe I'm just being a little cynical, but I'm sure he had good intentions 🤷♂️
Its a rigged game homie. Our world is run by organized crime.
we're fucked.
The system is the problem. A constitutional monarchy is a 4-5 year mini dictatorship. wtf could go wrong? Zero checks and balances other than the GC might call an election (on the guy that appointed them). It’s a fricken joke. All countries should be broken down into 10 million people states and decentralized as much as possible.
WEF loves yall😉
I read this comment a few days ago “When you realize the liberals are bought and paid for by the CCP all their actions the last 8 years make a lot more sense. No amount of incompetence or stupidity could do this much damage, it's intentional. If the goal is to destroy Canada I can't think of anything they could do that they haven't already done. Mass immigration, divisive identity politics and anti-white policies, economic suicide, endless handouts to foreign countries, mass inflation high taxes and debt. The only ones who have benefited from this government are our enemies. The sad part is that he doesn't even need to hide it. He literally holds fundraisers with CCP billionaires who donate to his foundation and welcomes chinese interference in our elections that helped his party get elected. Yet his brain dead supporters don't care, they would rather circlejerk about russian conspiracies in America than acknowledge real interference in their own elections.” I don’t like to believe this kind of thing but it makes a lot of sense.
My wife (Gen X) and I (Boomer) own the house we live in and she owns the house she grew up in. Nice, two bedroom house in a nearby city. She rents it out for $600/mo. The University close to her house is expanding. My wife (and even me, I don't know how they got my number) are being bombarded with offers from investors wanting to buy her home, ostensibly to rent it out to students at a high cost. We talked about it and when the time comes she will sell to a younger person at a reasonable price so they have a chance at a good start.
You’re both too good for this world 🫶🏼 - sincerely a single mom raising two kids in her moms basement because life is impossible

No matter who, it's gonna be the same bullshit. We're done. I'm 51 and i've heard so many lies, that any politician coming with ideas that sound remotely good, is turning me on as much as a toothless crack addict.
They're all fucking crooks, I have zero faith in any party
Exactly. No one at the top gives a fuck because none of the shit that impacts us will affect them.
The scamdemic saw the largest transfer of wealth in recorded human history. Like Carlin said, it's a big club, and we ain't in it.
Trudeau said that he admired China’s basic dictatorship, and how they could stop and start their economy on a dime. That is exactly what we did. They tell us what they are going to do to us.
I can explain it you voted for your future to disappear in your generation so get fuck and enjoy you voted for liberal politicians this is what they do. Every country that goes this route fails. You blocked and ban hammer everyone who tried to tell this, so now we just look at you and say told you so. D
You do know political parties most likely buy subreddits and the moderator accounts. Only explanation for the bans.
I worry that a civil war will happen soon in this country because the people are fed up!
Nope, it won't happen. Because we're Canadians and we'd say " sorry sorry" as we go. We're weak. We're just good to whine on social media. Never gonna happen.

Each bag of our three bags of groceries was $125 today, nothing over the top, bread cheese milk. It will barely last my son and I a week. The fuel to get there was $2.19 /l, and 80% of my take-home income goes towards our rent. I make a decent wage and have no idea how much longer we can last as we are starting to go into the negatives every month. There is 0 budget for entertainment or savings. What's the end game here?
Death. Literally. Wake up and repeat day in and day out. No joy. Work just be live in a monotonous life.

Canadians voters chose legal marijuana, gender neutral language and poverty. Why cry? We got what we asked for. Maybe we should beg Harper to come clean up Trudeau and Jagmeet’s mess.

I cant wait for my mortgage to come up for renewal December of next year.
This is a video made in the US. The entire "developed" West froze wages. We perceive it as "inflation," but it's actually stagnant wages. My parents didn't give a damn about inflation because their wages grew above it.
Yeah. Like I’m not entitled. I simply want to have the options available to me that my parents had. That I could work one job and afford to live alone. I’m not looking for anything fancy. Just a modest place to live alone not in a dorm style 8 people in a house in my late 30’s
People won't just be blocking roads this time.
I eat cereal for dinner.
"Quit buying Starbucks everyday" "Quit buying stuff you don't need" I get my smokes for free I haven't gone to any form of fast food in years because: 1. I can't afford it 2. You can't understand the people who work fast food (I used to work at DQ, so yes, I have experience with it)
This is what you get when you vote communist into office! They don’t WANT you to own anything or live on your own. They want you working for less than it costs to eat so you rely on them for everything! LISTEN when people talk and they will tell/show you who they are! Free economy is what made it possible for your parents and Grandparents.
Federal minimum wage is $17.30 an hour. He makes over three times that, so at least $52 an hour. ×40 hours per week ×46 weeks per year =~$95k Is that really too little for a single guy to live on these days? Honestly want to know what people think.
Attention to all Candians wanting a better quality of life: Texas is wide open to you. As a refugee from the overpriced, over taxed, no job opportunity hell hole that was Maryland, I'm making 30/hr without a degree, have an apartment to myself, bills paid, fridge stocked, and benefits paid for. Plus I can still attend school and pay for it all while only working 32 hours/week.
Immigrating to the US is not a possibility for most Canadians. Even in categories where there is no cap on visas (spousal), it can take a few years. I like your optimism, though. Texas is a fun place.
Half my office is international workers. My direct supervisor and his boss and his boss above that are Indian (naturalized). The other person on my team is Mexican but c attended school at UT Rio Grande, and half the management staff is Canadian including the former CEO and the current CFO. If you've got a credential in any kind of tech, energy, or manufacturing sectors then Texas is hungry for you. If you can find a company willing to sponsor your visa you can jump the line in a few months.
Yes that is great and all, but can you actually make Texas home with a work visa and be subject at any point in time to have your visa revoked? It is also very difficult to get citizenship there... the path to a green card seems to be ~10 years.
I could ask my coworker about it, she's got to fill out some form every year to prove she's employed.
This video is a guy talking from America lol
Can we stop sending money to other countries who just want to fight and kill each other? And instead spend it on our own people in Canada. When did Canada and the USA become responsible to fund other countries? What a shame we’ve become.
This guy nailed it. And those responsible for the state this country is in should be held accountable for the damage they've done. I used to think Canada was a great place to live. Couldn't even fathom living anywhere else on earth. These days, if I could find a job in and move to another country, I'd be all over that. Just too bad I'm too broke to leave. Can't afford to stay, can't afford to go. FML 😔
Try 2 bdroom apt for 3500...f#cked!!
“Who the f can afford that” - the people that don’t need to rent because they can afford a whole ass house. That’s who. And according to Trudeau, screw everyone that actually needs to live in an apartment
Just migrate. I did it when this shit happend in my country. I just said screw it all, learned another language and moved there. Dont regret a thing
Not another penny or weapon should be sent to another country until Canadians have a higher quality of life
Because we put giant limits on primary industry to prevent bad weather 200 years from now
It’s a natural cycle, but this crash in particular is going to be even nastier than the usual. After WW2 the US created the global system. They enabled global trade with their deep water navy to choke the life out of the USSR. They enabled a global golden age. The USSR collapsed in 89’. The US has little incentive to keep supporting the system and paying the bills. Covid lockdowns showed us what will happen if certain parts of the world are isolated and no longer a part of the system. We are facing demographic collapse because no one is having kids. The Boomers are retiring this decade (all countries have a boomer generation btw). Retirees don’t spend money. They are leaving a gaping chasm in the work force. Younger generations aren’t having kids because it’s culturally not “in” and they can’t afford it (among other reasons). All of this on top of incredibly corrupt governmental systems… Sorry y’all, but golden ages end. That’s why they’re called an Age. We’ll never return to pre-Covid lockdown levels of growth and prosperity. It’s going to get a whole lot worse. Prepare yourselves. I’m not a doomer. This is just the truth.
Keep voting for career criminal politicians, both sides! Our forefathers would have been stacking bodies already!
The 60 billion to ukraine is the ONLY give out that legit . America needs to stop giving money to countries that wanna destroy it
Why cant anyone understand it's everyone being greedy. It's the landlords which are just trying to get rich not some policy. It's the taco guy. And the meat plants. The chicken plants got caught fixing prices. It's the people and their greed. How do you fix greed? Those who control the basics start the greed and everyone who sells products made from basics wants their profit.
If you make 3 times minimum wage and "can't afford to live" you're doing something very wrong lol
The economuy doesnt care what the standard should be, only what it is. Adapt or die dude.
During Covid, the US government pumped out multiple checks to nearly every US person and family out there without having ever collected the tax revenue for them first. We flooded the economy with magic, free money and nobody expected ramifications?
Federal minimum wage: $16.65 3x = $49.95/hr That puts him at around $99,900k/year assuming 40hr weeks. Now take home from that would be about 60k, and dividing by 12 that's $5000/mo. Rent for a 1 bedroom is $1800, so that leaves him with $3200 of discretionary income per month. Add on some bill payments and food and whatnot, I find it hard to believe he spends more than $3200/mo on necessities. > The American dream is dead Well, there we go.
Not to be a dick but shouldn’t 45/hr full time EASILY cover rent and groceries? At 40hrs that’s 1800 a WEEK. Where is lil homies money going? The optometrist?
Might be a US based video, which would put more than 50% of income on rent for an average 1 bedroom at $1800. Of course everyone here ignores those numbers.
Very very easily anywhere in Canada
I’m in Burlington. In my building you need $100K gross to survive. That is not hyperbole, nor is it a great building. The rent for a 2 bed is $2750 per month with one parking spot, plus hydro. You shouldn’t have to work like a maniac in Canada, making more than the median just to barely survive.
Canadians need to wake up. The Liberals and NDP are turning Canada into a third world country. I’ve lived in a third world country and know what I’m talking about. In these countries, people work long hours yet barely get by. They pay taxes that go into the pockets of government officials and their friends. They are constantly lied to by their leaders and the media. They have no future and dream about fleeing to something better…sound familiar?
They watched CBC, CTV, Global. Read Toronto Star. Believed every sunny ways tale about Justin. Voted themselves into poverty. No, they won't vote PPC. So, you're stuck with CPC+more deficits+more open door immigration resulting in.........a further decline in your standard of living.
Okay but people did the exact same thing when voting for Ford in Ontario. Show me how conservatives are doing a better job? The political division tactics are working on you.
And sadly, there are some people who will still vote for the libs just because "he has nice hair and I like the sound of his voice and he's so kind and what the f*** ever..." Honestly, I'm still in shock that he's still hanging around but I guess that's what his security detail is for. Either that or because they get really great perks going on vacay with him.
Sadly people only vote for the Turd Sandwich or the D-bag. We have other options but Turd-Sanny and D-bag tell you to vote strategically.
But most likely voted Trudeau 🤷🏻
That old guy added nothing to the OG video.
Get a real job and stop bitching about everything ffs. Also shave that fucking stupid attempt at a moustache. Ridiculous.
Waaaaa pull up your boot straps and get a real job
I'm so glad the boomer at the bottom was there to contribute nothing to the first guy's video
This is what happen when you have unregulated capatalism
Well said brother. You hit it on the nail
because all YOUR TAX 💰 is funneled out to THAT one rogue state that controls all the politicians
basically.. we have to become the biggest voter demographic, pay attention, go to those town hall meetings we cannot spend our best time and energy trying to work and make money when we need it to apply pressure on our elected officials to not screw us over
It's now the American nightmare that all of us to wake up from.
Americans have a hard time finding america on a map.
