it's not healthy, even compared to the states. it's just not crazy like the states.

US politics might be "crazy" but definitely healthier than the managed decline we're seeing in Canada.

As a Canadian-America - nope, Canada is far better off than the US. I don't know if the US has a route out of the hole it's digging at this point.

Politically or economically? Because economically Canada is headed to the bottom of the G20.

As someone who’s met countless Canadians who are thankful and grateful to be in the US and not in a perpetual decline that’s been the case in Canada for year now, I beg to differ.

Do you think that perhaps a sample of Canadians that emigrated to the US might not be representative of all Canadians?

Also, if you're in a tech sphere then there's even a notable bias of folks in SF that are happy to have left whatever other part of the US they used to reside in.

It has the same problem that the US has, which is it is stuck in a two party duopoly, with both major parties sharing fundamentally the same political economic outlook. Just with different takes on culture wars stuff.

The only significant opposition to this bill has been coming from the NDP, which was decimated to a small number of seats by people piling into the Liberals because of nationalism and by its previous pathetic fealty to the Liberals in the last two parliaments.

As a Canadian, the real issue with the NDP was their leader. Singh was just not a good choice. We saw how appointing Carney saved the Liberals and how not dumping PP hurt the Cons.
