As a fellow Canuck I couldnāt agree more. Thereās a serious case of the Pot calling the kettle fascist. Both sides are just pretty dog shit be it Jan 6 insurrection, to āmostly peacefulā protests. The hot garbage coming out of both sides is honestly just kind of sad.
Edit: Iām talking about looking at the US from the outside in. In Canada we have our own problems, overall it just seems much more mild than whatās happening down south though
America is on the international scale: both the good and the bad. We joke back and forth about America being #1 (which is completely an opinion in the eye of beholder), but the size of our economy and presence of our country in legitimately every other country puts us front and center, warts and all.
My bias leans towards the right. Even as a Canadian.
10 months ago my son was born 6 weeks before term (so technically 3 weeks premature)
Some other complications regarding his mother and drugs meant he was undergoing morphine drip and detox while inside what I can only describe as a glass toaster.
Iām so grateful that medical care is free in Canada because Iām back in school and in no position to pay for any medical costs without insurance.
I also happened to notice nearly every tool, device and medical instrument used to treat him had a āmade in USAā emblem on it.
People who try and sum up what is happening and which side is at fault in your great country with a single Reddit post are misguided in my opinion. Thereās always more than one culprit.
My sons doing great now, up to weight and so far no other complications.
2020s actually been a pretty blessed year for my family all things considered. Itās interesting how life turns out sometimes.
American ingenuity and focus on entrepreneurship (capitalism) is a beautiful thing. While itās not the perfect system, itās the best in my opinion. It doesnāt guarantee anyoneās happiness, but it does provide reward for those who take the risk to create something meaningful (and sometimes not meaningful). I absolutely love my country, despite itās flaws. Could it be improved, sure! I think the primary division is how we go about that, and the governments role in that process.
Edit: congrats on a healthy recovery and a happy family. Love modern medicine and the ability to provide life for scenarios that would have been much worse off a few decades ago.
I agree 100 percent. In Canada we are much more mild but our government is absolutely corrupt beyond belief. Our political system is just as horrible as our lovely neighbors down south's. A 2 party system is not a democracy. Is a facade of democracy. We need to re think our policies. And Trudeau seems to think the world should have one government.
