    I made the mistake of reading the comments.

    So many right-wing Americans talking down on Canada’s public healthcare and left-leaning politics, praising Trump’s “fixes,” and acting like an authority on everything Canada. God, can we please fix our own problems before trying to ruin everything else with regressive changes?

      Americans Have been fed propaganda for years through Fox News and the buying up of News media outlets, including social media, and not to mention Rupert Murdoch Empire. Education and intellectualism Have been demonize by the right and so now what we have is an uneducated populous that lacks critical thinking and just regurgitates what they “Political team” says. I say this is an American We are fighting the best we can but regulatory capture has taken over most if not all of governmental services and judicial processes. I’m sorry, and those words don’t seem enough to carry the magnitude of what your country is facing because of my countrys dismantling of our democracy.

        Well said, and I wish our northern neighbors well. It can’t be easy sharing a border with a government actively ignoring and dismantling its systems of checks and balances, while its new leader is simultaneously make “jokes” about taking over neutral or allied countries.

        What really annoys me is the self-righteousness, self-importance, and proselytizing of our low-information conservative members. Most of the world has either thrived or at least existed fine enough with socialism or politics designed to benefit its average citizen, and ever step of the way these chucklefucks are screaming “communism” and denigrating the very things that would have helped them live better lives. And then they try and force those views on other countries which have better standards of living than we do! It’s infuriating.
