Canada invading from the north
A lack of KD but the All Dressed is trickling in.

Avoiding the famous things…
Tracking mud into someone’s house. The most striking cultural difference is literally just taking your shoes off as a guest.
Alligators, tropical diseases, hurricanes for the most part.
Flag-worship. Which is ironic because tomorrow is Canada Day, but really the US is on a whole other level.
Government deadlock.
Pennies.
Embargoing Cuba.
…are you joking right now?

The radioactive fascist clown squatting in our Whitehouse and kidnapping people off the streets in broad daylight has made a couple news publications. Maybe you’ve seen one or two headlines.
Oh, and by squatting, I mean literally squatting down and taking an actual shit on our constitution, not squatting like inhabiting illegally, because apparently the majority of our country actually asked for this.
Unpopular opinion, don’t think he actually got the votes.
Healthcare
Getting shot anywhere you go
Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.
Lol. We have ~3 grocery stores and everyone knows they collaborate to rip us off. I’d take food off the list.
It’s been a while since I checked, but I think Vancouver was the most expensive city for a while in terms of property values and rent. Nowhere is as cheap as cheap US areas, and southern Ontario is close to Vancouver. It should be getting a bit better, but that’s because the government went into disaster mode to fix it.
The healthcare and water are legit, though.
Trust me, we worry about shelter and food and electricity
Have you seen Canadian house prices?
Canada has some of the least affordable cities in North America but it also has some of the most affordable cities. If you are able to move then Canada has some very affordable options. But I appreciate that the ability to move is a luxury that many folks don’t have because of circumstances like family commitments.
Most affordable compared to what? Non-western cities can get crazy cheap. I remember a video of a day out on the town in Lilongwe, Malawi for a single USD.
I’m in rural Alberta, and you’re still going to be hard-pressed to find a sub-1000CAD rental.
No but in my neighborhood it’s 3.5kUSD/month for a one bedroom studio
Ay, you live in Boston too?
Aw shit I mean uhhhhh no?
Ah yeah, of course not. Who would live in a hellscape where having an apartment to yourself is a fantasy?
Surprise medical bills; random shootings; a fascist dictator leading the country; the complete and entire erosion of the rule of law
a fascist dictator leading the country; the complete and entire erosion of the rule of law
It’s more relevant in the states right now, but this is something we should all worry about all the time.
To clarify for anyone who missed it:
Trump made a law that states that the president of the US is above the law.
This means that, even after the next election, he could remain president, since the laws that prevent this don’t apply to him. He could also just straight up shoot one in the streets and wouldn’t be able to be punished.
To clarify, Trump passed no such law. It was a supreme court ruling that happened last year, during the end of Biden’s presidency. It only applies to official actions, so could be interpreted to not apply to violations while campaigning for office (but this is the same supreme court that put the presidency above the law)
It gives the president unchecked power, if they choose to abuse it
Wait really lol? Idk how this could legally have happened? And why isnt this across the news (nobody is allowed to say some degree of “but that’s what they want you to think”) lol

Yeah, I don’t think it got a lot of coverage.
Wtf lol

I think we might need a book to answer that. A comment seems insufficient.
A friend in the US told me: I cannot work more hours because I need to keep my income at specific range to be able to qualify for provisional or federal medical insurance.
This is so fucked up.
Literally the poverty line
I do believe the reputational damage caused by the orange one might be one of the things. That and obvious tariff issues. Hopefully it’s temporary , or you have people who just don’t care.
