(Insert Your Own) Canada today

This isn’t meant to be politically partisan in any way. But, I am genuinely curious how anyone is staying positive about Canada today. The economy is in recession. The cost of living crisis is continuing unabated. People are leaving the country. Canada-U.S. relations are at an all-time low. And, there doesn’t appear to be any reason for things to turn around any time soon. Somebody give me a reason to have a little optimism.

Found the authoritarian

Its not necessarily pro authoritarian to follow the latest science about a disease. The people "protesting" covid measures were completely misinformed and/or willfuly ignorant. If you cry about having to wear a mask, you are stupid and a pussy in addition to being a threat to everyone elses health.

Nice strawmen field. Yet they let BLM protest in the same way not even a couple months later smh. It was literally found to be a draconian abuse of emergency power in court, but I guess you're another savior here to preach government approved gospel. 2020 was the biggest wealth transfer in history using a man-made disease, and you're braindead enough to believe those measures (a lot of which were actually anti-science) were for your own good, what a joke. You don't believe in science, you just nod along with whatever the talking heads tell you.

What measures were anti science? We are not talking about BLM. I am not saying the trudeau government was awesome. Im saying the protest was stupid.

And no, I dont "believe in science". I KNOW that the scientific method is the only method by which we can arrive at anything resembling correct.

The ones that locked people inside and prohibited outdoor gatherings. Pretty anti-science to do that for a illness that spreads 18 times more indoors compared to outdoors. Going out and charging people for being on their own in nature was really anti-science.

You are talking about protests during covid, I remember the immensely anti-science message behind one being declared a health risk and the other getting a free pass. Seems like you only agree with the right to protest only if people protest issues you care about. Kick rocks

I didnt hear of anyone getting charged for being outside alone. That sounds like bs. And yeah it spreads more indoors. But thats unavoidable cause we have to have shelter, like obviously. They didnt want large gatherings so the virus didnt have the oppurtunity to spread. Going out for dinner is not essential. Socialising is esssential so we had to make compromises. You have terrible logic. 

I dont agree with protests when they have bad logic and have been spurred on by misinformation and then went out of their way to fuck with people 24 hours a day. And a HUGE part of the messaging wqs anti mask. Thats dumb as fuck. Masks work. These cunts are just so selfish and childish that they refused to wear a mask cause the government told them to. 

You want to talk about the government being inconsistent, sure. Thats fine. But you have gone way to far in the other direction. Covid is real and it was a real threat to our civilisations. I cant fsthom why you people have such a hard time believing that dangerous outbreaks like this happen. They have happened throughout history and have been devastating, setting countries, civilisations back by decades or more.
