Unfortunately, propaganda works. The best antidote is emphasis on things you can see firsthand but most people don't know shit about whether or not immigrants are actually responsible for crimes (they mostly aren't). All they get is a small increase in costs of living. So they listen to the talking heads on TV who scapegoat whatever minority or target of the week, and if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it.

Ahahaha Canada.com? How much more blatant can it be that the site is American?

Nono, let these morons suffer their consequences. I hope they don't mind learning Russian because they're going to need it to communicate with their new masters.

It's just like Twitter. Now that Trump is back in the white house, tech companies can get away with whatever boosts profits, even if it means being a toxic cesspool of conservative hate speech (it's ok because the president does it amirite)

Fuck reddit. My ban is a badge of honor for not being a fucking snowflake.

Then let's amend the citizenship act to include acts of treason

Don't try to change the minds of die hard Maga cultists. They're a lost cause.

Focus on swing voters who enabled this change because the price of eggs went up during Biden's presidency. Remind them how nothing is getting cheaper with tariffs wars, and tax cuts for the super rich combined with the eventual gutting of Medicaid are clear signs he doesn't actually care about them, no matter what he says.

Immigration isn't the biggest driver of crime - poverty is. And who is making the average citizen poorer now?

Well when the rule of law is abolished all those American guns can be put to good use

It needs to cover capital gains because of how many measure their wealth by unrealized stock gains.

Also estate tax loopholes need closing so generational inequality doesn't worsen

But aside from donating to NGOs dedicated to cleaning up ocean litter, the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water. It requires lifting fishermen out of poverty, teaching them more sustainable fishing practices, and cracking down on littering, all things that require international cooperation.

Yea, despite Marit Stiles' best efforts (and Bonnie Crombie's mediocre efforts), Ford is better at getting headlines when he needs them. They didn't get enough opportunities to challenge his narrative and call him out on his scandals.

And since Trump distracted everybody, Dougie bet that voters would be too burned out to kick him out of office. With a 45% turnout this election, he was unfortunately correct.

I guess we get the governments we deserve. Bribing people with their own money seems to work on the average Ontarian.
