Canada

Hmm. I’ll take Canada’s stagnation over america’s precipitous decline any day.

That's funny, every survey I've seen that ranks real quality-of-life (or some subset of it) for the inhabitants of various countries puts Canada ahead of the US.

So what's your country's excuse, Mr. Vance?

Loved the Beaverton’s response to his meddling: https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/11/jd-vance-slams-canada-after-being-rejected-by-sexy-chesterfield/

It's funny how your point of view shifts when Instead of calling them immigrants, you start calling them people.

I think everyone acknowledges Canada has brought in too many immigrants recently, but it's not bad because immigrants are inherently bad, it's bad because we've brought them here under false pretenses. They are expecting that we will be able to provide opportunity and wealth that they could not get elsewhere, and we have far, far outstripped the economy, in its current configuration, necessary to deliver that. Our government did a stupid. Probably intentionally. And it will have consequences, which will be many. And people will blame immigrants for those consequences. But it's not their fault. It's the government who has robbed them, and us, of the economic necessities to better ourselves. We're in the same sinking boat as the immigrants. We can throw them out of the boat if we think it'll float a little better with less weight, but really we would be better off teaming up with them to stop all the assholes drilling holes in the bottom.

His issue isn't about economics though, his issue is about racism. He'll just dress it up in economics when it's convenient to do so.

Oh, just close the fucking border already.

Maybe worry about your own shithole couch fucker.

Capitalism is the problem. Capitalism is what caused the excess influx of immigration since the only workers corps want to hire need to work for minimum wage or less. Immigrants and TFW and International students are needed to accept those conditions on the mistaken belief that a year or so later they can move up. Instead the reality is that they help depress wages and drive up living costs. But it isn't their fault. Same as the productivity problems that Canada has - workers cannot work/produce more in the same amount of time. New tech, training or equipment is needed to help them accomplish more in the same time. But corps want to blame workers as lazy and not admit it's that the corps fault because they don't want to put any of their profit into increasing output.

Maybe our slipping standard of living is because we're too reliant on the US as a trade partner and they've decided to shit all over us. Probably doesn't help that we're far too happy to follow America's lead in placating billionaires and corporations with massive tax breaks while they raise prices, lower wages and push out local businesses.

Sorry couldn't hear you over your citizens healthcare premiums going up and our universal healthcare. What was that about living standards again?

Going pretty hard against the in-laws today, aren’t we Jimmy?

Speaking of cultural salad bowls, you’re a Roman Catholic omnivore, and your wife is a Hindu vegetarian.

There has got to be a joke in here about midwestern jello salad but I can’t figure it out.

ETA: I looked up his Wikipedia to confirm my suspicions about the vegetarian wife and wow, people aren’t using an altered meme photo, that’s his actual official portrait?!!

Of course he does. Their whole schtick is to divide people and then destroy them individually. We must stand united as workers, as Canadians, and as compassionate human beings.

This headline, right after seeing:" Hoekstra accuses Canada of meddling in U.S. politics".

Blame the true evil capitalism not your favored out group to turn into the villain.

I blame JD Vance for why Usha Vance is unhappy.

Gtfo couch-fucker.

White supremisist uses white supremisist pseudoscience to explain how late stage capitalist issue is the fault of minority scapegoats. Shocking

The classic old tale of measuring living standards as GDP per Capita.

This is the perfect metric for the US, since deepening inequality means that a few billionaires approaching trillionaire status on the backs of their own working class can create a fiction that somehow the country is working just fine. While billionaires put cars and penises in orbit and their workers are denied SNAP benefits, we can always celebrate their beautiful GDP per Capita graph. Congratulations.

Everytime he opens his cock holder the world is worse. Every molecule of oxygen is a waste.

Fascists blaming immigrants???

NO WAY!!!!
