"The Oregon coast was amazing but there is just this sigh of relief coming back across the border.
We were in a Starbucks and there were two teenagers at a table morbidly obese and discussing their favourite firearms. It’s just such a different world over there."
I texted back:
“Those teens would love that asshole Pollievre, who will be the next PM.”
We Canadians keep smugly thinking “It can’t happen here!!” (ie Trumpism, MAGA, an activist Supreme Court, half the country submissive to Faux News, etc etc etc…)
We have the same basket of deplorables that the US has. I am so tired of seeing jackasses wearing F*CK TRUDEAU stuff to things like kids ball hockey games.
I have never once seen a FCK FORD OR A FCK POLLIEVRE (or however it’s spelled) shirt or bumper sticker.
Assholes flock to the right. And PP is courting them.

But it will happen. Won’t it?
TIL. Skuj = Canadian
It all makes sense now
I had to look up TIL. I’m 62.
So, Tylertry, does this mean there is some hope that Canada may escape your fate?
I think the 2-party system in USA is a huge problem, and Kennedy won’t solve it. Thank god for our system - maybe the Left can gang up on Pollievre if he gets a Minority. Then we can have a Civil War, with all the Freedom People not understanding…well…freedom, in a Parliamentary Democracy.
We are already majorly screwed up without becoming America. PP isn’t Donald. However if things don’t get better people may vote for someone who is as bad.
We might be further along in our right wing journey than you think…
I am in a small city on the east coast and I’ve seen a MAGA hat, dozens of F*** Trudeau stickers, and there is a truck here that flies the confederate flag. The last one is the strangest one to me as that’s not even Canada’s history?
