Careful with that. We have our own mini-me version of Trump in the form of Pierre Poilievre, a 'conservative' who is almost certain be elected with a majority because "woke".

What should be terrifying to Canadians is that PoiLIEvre will be in power alongside Trump, who has recently called us the 51st state. With roughly 20 percent of the country being traitorous assholes who want to join the States, I fear--deeply--for Canadian sovereignty.

And for Canadians:

WHEN we are taken over by the US it will be because the Canadian people ask for it, and they'll ask for it because they will be choreographed to ask for it.

But they will.

@VeroniqueB99 @michelin at the risk of stating the obvious, most countries, including Canada, aren't thrilled about retirement-age immigrants, because policymakers prefer to have people who will contribute to the economy. if you intend to immigrate, do it sooner rather than later.

@VeroniqueB99 I don’t understand how the US insurance system can fail at such a classic case while the same case in Germany just works.

In Germany, after the cancer is defeated, you can continue building your life almost from the same financial position you had before cancer.

That is what happened in my family, and the insurance and the pension system even paid for rehab.

No life savings lost, because protection against such high damage, low probability risks is just what insurance is for.

@ArneBab It works in EVERY other democratic country.

In France, you'd paid NOTHING if you have cancer. Period. Not the chemo, not the operations/radiation, hospitaliztion $0. There are so many countries that place health as a human right but not the US. 🤷‍♀️

@VeroniqueB99 @ArneBab this is not true in the UK by a far stretch anymore.

Sure the NHS does what it can but people do absolutely die waiting for the underfunded system to get to them.

What's the proposed solution? Private health care. I kid you not.

@VeroniqueB99 @ArneBab Yes we do pay it in our taxes... and we actually pay a lot less... and EVERYONE gets healthcare! 😁👍 It’s such a messed up country I can’t even begin to understand why folk tolerate it. The first time Trump won the election he actually lost by 2.9 million votes, and they try to explain the system to you as if that justifies the absurdness of it. Odd country. A lot of nice people there though 😁

@kDelta And as nod to some common sense: about 750.000 people who voted for Trump against Biden did not vote for Trump against Harris.

Sadly about 12 Million people who voted for Joe Biden did not vote for Kamala Harris.

So Trump still won despite losing followers.

@VeroniqueB99 @kDelta @ArneBab this always annoys me. We live in a society, which is the definition of socialism.
