I agree. Difference is I left almost 20 years ago.

There used to be an actual left in Canada. Well into the 70s the NDP still had a faint whiff of actual socialism in its DNA. Before the middle class "unions" of teachers and civil servants took it over, the party represented the interests of workers. There were communists and socialists in the trade unions.
There was an independence movement of sorts. Led by Red Tories like George Grant and populated mainly by leftists, the anti-Americanism and pro-independence feeling was strong in this small but vocal subset of the population.
But from Mulroney's karaoke duet with Reagan singing Irish Eyes Are Smiling to now, the tendency for Canuckistanis of all political stripes (are there more than two?) is to get on their knees, stay on their knees and give head to the greedball fuckwits to the south.
You can't resist the Imperium if you support capitalism. Capitalism is what America is, what America exists to promote and what Americans get down on all fours with their rectums made available for. They'd rather castrate their children or die of a fentanyl overdose than stand up to their betters and most of the western world has gone down the same perverse anti-human road.
The right wing halfwits that make up the bulk of commenters here think they are on a winning streak with Trump. They have convinced themselves that by giving bjs to a real estate nepo baby they are asserting their masculinity, when in fact they are just lubing up for big tech and big pharma to ram it so far up their gaping asses they will be spitting logos like never before, like no one has seen before.
Well Ok, Michael. You have a colourful way of describing this. But no point mincing words any longer, when Canada -- and the West in general -- are in the state we are in.
My own opinion is that America is about more than capitalism. And that capitalism within boundaries is not all bad. It has pulled many out of poverty. Trouble is, given the opportunity, human nature tends to over-run boundaries. Not just in Americans, but in a great many people with goodies dangled in front of them.
I am not a halfwit by any stretch of the imagination. And I consider myself centrist rather than rightwing. I am an analytical centrist, who cares about certain values in life, and who attempts to be honest. I get insights from time to time. I share these.
I have a sense of what the better ways would be....but the question is -- how do we get there? Ideals are all well and fine but few of us can enact them. Life's tricky like that.
As Karl Marx said, capitalism has been an incredible engine for the production of wealth. However, it is only through working class resistance that many have been pulled out of poverty.
Given its druthers, American capitalism would have everyone living like a Bangladeshi garment worker.
Given the way things are going in the US and the rest of the Americanized world, we may be on our way back there. Because Elon Musk wants to save the people!
You have no idea how far ahead of you I am. And how ignorant you must be to believe in Karl Marx. I'll try to forgive you, scrubbing around in the mud.

Karl Marx is not a favourite of mine, to put it mildly. Better that he had never existed.
And the totalitarianism that he espoused has to do with far more than wealth.
Like so many of the ignorati, you wouldn't know Karl Marx if he came up and espoused your liberation from ignorance.
That's enough, Michael. Your goose is cooked.

Good evening.
lol... have a good day!
Lol. Marx. Move to china.
I don't hate where I live, Lucy.
There are almost a million Canucks who live and work in the USA.
Can't be that hard.
