@aleen I don't think anyone in Canada can afford to feel smug. We have our own version of Trump (Pierre Poilievre) and he stands a significant chance of becoming Prime Minister in our next federal election and bringing all this Nazi shit here too.
Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.
@JustAnotherJay @jmbprime @gemelliz Harper refused to say what he would cut and what he had cut. You just looked for it and it was gone. Help for auto sector. Gone. Health transfer? Gone. Regulations against pollution. Gone. Climate change research. Burn it! Secretive and underhanded and PP's role model. #Spoilievre
I'm a Canadian and last week I lost all hope for the future of humankind. The sheer stupidity of American voters can be partially explained by the fact that a mere 50% of Americans are fully literate. Add to that, the constant barrage of propaganda that is right wing media and you create the perfect conditions for dictatorship.

You know, I just cannot cope with what the Americans have done - to themselves and to the rest of the world. I’m walking around in a state of barely suppressed rage at the stupidity of it all and the dangerous world they have plunged us into. If it was only themselves to bear the consequences I could manage my sympathy and shake my head. But it’s not and I don’t know now what WE can do to protect ourselves

You likely won't hear this on the 'nightly news' but Mayor Olivia Chow received $123M directly from PM Trudeau to build supportive housing in #Toronto and now a former hotel at 65 Dundas East is being converted to create 280 homes for vulnerable people in the city.
92 units have already been completed.

92 Affordable Housing Units Completed At 65 Dundas Street

The completion of the units was announced by Mayor Olivia Chow who called 65 Dundas "[not] just an address," but a "beacon of hope for those previously unhoused."

One thing I am learning from all this is how truly checked out many many Americans are from politics. I would talk to people, and they would just say, "Oh I'm not involved in politics, it's not for me." I thought this was the exception, but it's proving to be the rule. People told me Kamala didn't have any plans or Trump was great for the economy. Many many people live in a very limited education bubble. We are suffering under a deep lack of education, a lack of critical thinking skills, a world where it's increasingly difficult to check facts, and a group of very rich, and very powerful individuals who know this and are using it against the common good.
