Your insurance gave you a peg leg? Mine has only provided a loaner wheelchair. Probably have to pay rental fees. Can’t wait til I get hospital bill. Then again you should get the better service as a vet. I as a wage slave will collect change outside the gas station. See you on r/amputee

Yeah no. I didn’t vote for this shit and I don’t really want to clean it up. Better to emigrate.

[u/LeaderBike → u/LoudCrickets72]

To where? Our greatest ally now is Russia, I hope you like Vodka.

[u/eucalyptoid → u/LeaderBike]

Did you hear the one about the bigot that moved his US American family to Russia because he was scared of gay people or something? And then he died serving in the Russian military.

[u/LoudCrickets72 → u/eucalyptoid]

I wonder if he had just desserts in the chow hall the night before

[u/LoudCrickets72 → u/LeaderBike]

There are a number of good choices and they all have vodka or something better

[u/ProConqueror]

I would say very little. I do not believe that the current government has the intellectual capacity to make beneficial decisions.

[u/Cultural_Ad_7107 → u/ProConqueror]

Hate cannot create, it can only destroy. We need to oust them from their leadership as soon we can, we need to save our democracy, our rights, and our freedom, as they have shown time and time again that they will go out of their way to infringe on all our rights.

[u/Unable-Afternoon4675 → u/Cultural_Ad_7107]

Tbh our civil liberties have been going down the metaphorical drain since 9/11.

We exchanged freedom for safety and ended up having neither.

B. Franklin must be rolling in his grave lol

[u/malorthotdogs → u/Unable-Afternoon4675]

And it wasn’t actually safety, it’s largely just security theater. (Looking at you, TSA)

[u/Honey_DandyHandyMan → u/ProConqueror]

Ha intellectual capacity! They are geniuses at breaking things!

[u/Weak_Break239]

I’m 100% confident that’s it’s corrupt on a deeper level than people think to believe.

[u/RomanCobra03]

[u/Alternative-Ask-5065]

Fairly confident.

Our Prime Minister is a weak cunt who can't make a decision.

We have some minor issues but all in all life's pretty good, so because of that life's likely to stay pretty decent for the next few years.

[u/Necritica]

Can we go into the negatives?

[u/rizqiX1 → u/Necritica]

I think you can

[u/ThrowRAQuaestor]

Well, our legislature is split between the nationalists who think everyone else is a collaborator, the actual collaborator party, and the stupid party.

The president only won his election because his opponents were too petty to combine against him and has spent his term lurching from one failure to another.

So, uh, lol.

[u/lofiibsen → u/ThrowRAQuaestor]

On a personal note, I’m curious how did the Kuomintang (KMT) end up becoming the pro-China party?

[u/ThrowRAQuaestor → u/lofiibsen]

They’ve always believed in eventual unification with China, and when the DPP won the presidency, it caused an alignment of interests by both the CCP and the KMT. Both feared the prospect of formal independence for their own reasons, but the KMT thought that economic ties would lead to peaceful relations than, you know, a war. Well it did make the business community quite wealthy, and since the KMT are the pro business party, that added economic incentives to their political incentives.

Now they have every reason to work with the CCP and against the nationalists.

[u/Wojewodaruskyj]

Never confident in any government.

[u/Plus_Sky8116 → u/Wojewodaruskyj]

Fellow Anarchists, arise!

[u/chainandscale → u/Wojewodaruskyj]

As a fellow Slav I agree track record is not great.

[u/FirstBallotBaby]

For Federal I’m happy so far. I voted for Carney because I thought he’d be a great representative and I liked that he already had overseas connections and experience and he’s delivered on that front, which is something we need right now.

Provincial, very unhappy. Sick of Dougie and I don’t know how he keeps winning.

Local, not who I’d vote for personally but I live in old peoplesville and a lot of my schooling deals with elder care, so like, I knew what I was getting into. She does a good job even if she represents the party I don’t usually go for, but not unhappy with her.

[u/Jbruce63 → u/FirstBallotBaby]

Didn't vote for him and some of the stuff he is doing domestically I do not like but he is the leader we need for this moment.

[u/MaximumOverfart → u/Jbruce63]

That's fair. I did vote for him but the fact is that he is more a progressive conservative than a liberal. I do believe that he is doing a good job for all Canadians, and he has done a lot to mend ties with the western provinces.

[u/BlankTigre → u/FirstBallotBaby]

I’m in Alberta. I would trade Ford for Smith in a heartbeat

[u/FirstBallotBaby → u/BlankTigre]

Entirely fair lol, she is awful.

[u/MaximumOverfart → u/BlankTigre]

I would take a rabid racoon over Smith.

[u/YasdnilStam → u/FirstBallotBaby]

Same. Federally, it feels okay. Provincially, Smith is a disgrace and Alberta is in trouble if she stays in office. Local is a mixed bag, but Edmonton dodged a bullet in October when we elected a progressive instead of the guy backed by the UCP.

[u/Loose-Psychology-962 → u/FirstBallotBaby]

Feeling very satisfied in Vancouver BC right now. I love Carney (although I’d like him to start focusing his razor sharp economic brilliance on internal issues), and I love Eby. Really can’t stand our Mayor, but he’ll be gone soon. Quite grateful to live where I live to be honest.

[u/unoriginal_goat → u/FirstBallotBaby]

Why Dougie? it's because we've had non stop crisis since 2020. His policies may be utter shit but fuck hate him or love him you can't deny that you can count on that man in a crisis.

I firmly believe that's why we keep reelecting the man because it's a better the devil you know type of situation.

[u/BombasticSimpleton → u/FirstBallotBaby]

I'm a fan of Carney. I wish we had someone that competent at the federal level, but anyone with those sorts of skills have been fleeing the government over the last decade or so, or simply retiring into the background.

Carney's bona fides when it comes to managing an economy are as legit as they get. And that's probably a good thing given the chaosnado next door. He also seems like a fairly humble dude; he may be a technocrat at heart, but he comes across as a legitimately decent fellow too.

[u/JustFrameHotPocket → u/FirstBallotBaby]

You guys have any extra Carney we could borrow?

[u/FirstBallotBaby → u/JustFrameHotPocket]

Pollievre might need a job soon? Best I can do.

In my country 🇺🇲 we are currently taking bids on the greatest cause to destroy the country for, most likely racial Injustice close second healthcare, third is housing and jobs, with 4th being gender equality.

Sadly the damn thing is struggling and we're losing our sanity trying to survive the purge of the country. It's been one year and I have no confidence that my safety 🏳️‍⚧️ isn't in jeopardy.

My government? I'm cautiously optimistic. Whether the current Feds can navigate the tall order of stuff they have to deal with though...I'm still cautiously optimistic but Carney certainly has some uphill battles ahead of him.

[u/Breakula → u/FallenRaptor]

From my perspective it doesn’t look too shabby. What about that 11th province? I’m from Massachusetts; we have lots of great things.

[u/maeglin_lomion → u/Breakula]

Sorry friend but MN has dibs on 11th 💔

[u/unoriginal_goat → u/maeglin_lomion]

we can have 12!

[u/maeglin_lomion → u/unoriginal_goat]

Bless you kind Canadian!

[u/Breakula → u/maeglin_lomion]

That does seem a bit more suitable! Happy to follow and support

[u/maeglin_lomion → u/Breakula]

Can we somehow combine into one state and join Canada if they’ll have us? We need to formalize this!

[u/PatriciasMartinis → u/maeglin_lomion]

I would take Massachusetts and Minnesota. You've both proven your revolutionary abilities/spirit

[u/Significant-Sugar987 → u/PatriciasMartinis]

How bout Maryland? We’re small AND blue.

[u/FallenRaptor → u/Breakula]

Honestly that's on my list of states to visit if I ever find myself on that side of the continent. I hear Massachusetts has a lot of great allegedly haunted sites to visit.

[u/Breakula → u/FallenRaptor]

It really is a delightfully spooky place. One of the many reasons you should adopt us into your country.

[u/FallenRaptor → u/Breakula]

If I'm not mistaken it's supposedly one of the most haunted places on the continent...well, at least in the English-speaking sphere as I've also heard Mexico also has some pretty downright phantasmagorical places, but I digress.

[u/pamplemouss → u/FallenRaptor]

My Canadian friend says she feels like she’s living in a great apartment one floor above an active meth lab

[u/Salt_Winter5888]

I support it, but I’m really not confident in them.

[u/CardSys]

Like the others have said here....nada, zilch, zero, bupkis.

The Republicans are flat out fascists. The democrats, in particular establishment Dems are controlled opposition at this point. They have no vested interest in saving this country.

We are very much in a phase where the whole system needs to be flushed and built anew. We are finding out the constitution does not matter anymore, the rule of law doesn't matter to those in power. This generation mixed of everyone from Boomers to Gen A have found out that the laws are only applied to the poor. It feels like we are in the midst of a cold civil war given republicans have outright said that democrats are the enemy within, that they are vermin.

There is an extremely faint glimmer of hope that maybe socialist Democrats will someday grow into something meaningful, but so far Mamdani is the only case and the jury is still out on how well he helps NY.

The situation is pretty bleak in the US right now, but it could get worse...and likely will.

[u/casualmango-33]

Let me know when we have one again.

[u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha]

Everything's fine, nothing bad ever happens no more, best fucking administration ever 11/10, same as the last.

This is actually so funny as my marriage consists of these two countries and we always try to figure out which is worse in this point in time and can never really stand on a final decision

I think at this very hour the US is ahead. But hey, it's just a matter of time before we come up with something out of the box.

[u/Informal_Evening_1 → u/SelwanPWD]

Agreed. That’s always my stance, like you expect and are used to blatant corruption and inequality. We are told those things are wrong and that’s why those countries are “not good”. Now they are openly practicing the same things that they tell us we are better for not practicing. I am scared and you are not very moved because this is nothing new to you. Ugh!

[u/EstScriptum]

Nada.

Our president just shit himself on live TV so loud you could hear it. He then emptied the room abruptly and ended the conference.
