Not a huge Trudeau fan, but I’d vote for him over SkiPPy every day of the week.

JT’s main failings IMHO is that despite all the good he did (national pharmacare, dental care, and 10$ a day child care) did not get any media attention, and provinces run by conservative premiers tried to suppress the programs as much as possible.

He passed the buck on housing for too long, letting Conservative provinces stoke the flames and blame him - and nobody seems to realize housing and healthcare are largely provincial matters. There was plenty JT could have done to expose this, or remedy how federal housing funding is allocated.

He let our grocery monopoly dictate price with no consequences for Greed based inflation.

Completely sold out workers with a “flood the streets” immigration policy. These new people receive significantly more government assistance than “real Canadians” which rightly pissed everyone off. - FWIW, the Conservatives will absolutely bring even more in, but Fuck Trudeau amirite

Homelessness is at all time highs and so are shelter costs, meaning eating in a shelter you rent/own basically makes you the 1% even though you can’t afford anything.

He completely lied about election reform, one of the main mandates he had when originally elected.

The core of his failing is spending tons of money, but very little of it going to the people who need it while everyone became poorer due to inflation. He wasn’t nearly as “left wing” where it counted as he thinks, and we basically got Neoliberalism with a rainbow flag on top.

(totally support LGBTQ, but not wanting to do gay/trans people harm while actively selling out Canada to corporate interests isn’t “left” at all.)

Instead, we’re going to vote in SkiPPy, who is a capitalist laptog - to save us from crushing capitalism. Because as a nation we have strong voter apathy and no civic comprehension.

Also a huge majority of Canadian media is owned by billionaires with right wing agendas, so they shat on JT consistently for 10 years and the public is listening to them mainly because life is objectively worse for the middle class since Covid inflation made housing and food unaffordable for future generations while wages were actively suppressed by JT himself.

The people who own homes and like their equity explosion still hate Trudeau, but also continue to want their home values to explode but are somehow pissed properties they do not own are also expensive.

And let’s not forget crime. We have almost 0 laws in Canada unless you are homeless (protected from consequences for everything bad you do) - or you try to defend yourself/your property (literally the most evil thing you can do.)

Rapists and violent assault cases routinely are released, or don’t get speedy trials and there are 0 consequences to their abhorrent crimes (lots of provincial issues here, but again, everyone loves to blame Trudeau)

Oh, and his gun ban is completely assanine and does nothing to stop the obvious illegal gunflow from the US that are used in nearly every crime with a gun. Complete tone def waste of money that makes him the easiest conservative target. Maybe 5% of Canadians think it’s actually going to do anything.

Drain the swamp one way or another.

The elites will probably vaccinate, but their followers never will - it will become the official purity test of MAGA

Everyone should change their names on all their social medias to Luigi Mangione

Can’t wait for prices to go up everywhere else!

Right wing backlash means you’re doing it right!

Clarity can easily be found in Nazi tears.

I was under the impression swapping out an implant was far easier than installing the system.

And I’m also talking about teeth that have been repeatedly drilled, capped, crowns etc - not a normal, healthy tooth.

These teeth are basically anchors for crowns, at what point is a new implant better than a chiseled out tooth?

Honestly, unless this tooth repair gel thing works and becomes available soon, I’d rather have some of my teeth replaced with implants.

I’ve asked my dentist “can we just skip the endless filling replacements, caps, crowns, and eventual implants and just go right to implants?”

They always say no, and I ask is there a reason why “natural teeth” with fillings/caps/crowns are better than implants - they reply with “But it’s your teeth! They’ll last a long time before needing implants!”

Yeah, so I’ll need implants eventually, can’t I just get them now before I put more fillings, caps, crowns, and eventual implants? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

“but your natural teeth will last a long time!”

Yeah, but they ain’t so natural after 5 procedures, and I’d rather avoid the ha$$le and just get the implants now instead of implants and a lifetime of repairs.

They always say no, and it’s probably because they make way more money fixing bad teeth than replacing it with something permanent

EDIT

Thank you everyone!

I’ve gotten better answers here than from my dentist, so thank you everyone for educating me on the reasons why.

Tyson can punch me up for 16 minutes straight, take whatever of my dignity he wants for himself, and I’d be cool with even 10 million.

The world isn’t going to shit because people are willing to entertain others for serious money.

This isn’t aimed at the idiots who would line up around the block and work for free to be called high IQ by Musk. Doesn’t really matter though, it’s all performative

They already know exactly what they want to cut, and billionaires don’t need a salary to realize profits from deregulation.

The job being “no salary” isn’t indicative of how cost effictive a volunteer public servant could be - it is a dinner bell for the wealthy

“as it would require congressional action to accomplish legally”

I’m absolutely certain the most crime ridden, corrupt, untouchable person in history who is exclusively fueled by revenge and powerlust would be successfully confined by the law after the supreme court explicitly stated that doesn’t matter for presidents.

Yup, he sure learned his lesson that rules and laws absolutely apply to him and there’s no point in trying to outrun justice if you’re wealthy and connected.

Honestly, blame the media for this one.

They talked about project 2025 for maybe 10 days and spent the rest of the time ignoring the absolute fact that concrete steps are being taken across the board to end democracy and impose a Christian theocracy as fast as possible.

There was no concentrated effort to warn Americans of the very real threat Trump is, and what absolutely will happen if he won the election.

All the public saw was a witch hunt against Trump that went nowhere as he promised to be a dictator and change the fundamental structure of the United stated to further billionaire interests, and the actual reality of this was never explicitly stated.

News media is responsible for educating the population, with standards on the quality and accuracy of the information, but neither side will ever do any such thing.

Both political parties and every news medium are completely corporately owned and will never platform something that threatens their control.

“Canadian” mining companies - any country on earth can have a licensed business in Canada for the change you find in your couch. Seems to be especially popular for mining companies.

This one actually used to be a full on Canadian mining company (INCO) before it got bought out by a Brazilian company called Vale limited.

There’s plenty of tax havens already, so Canada went all in on shell corporations for money laundering (especially real estate) and using Canadas positive global image to hide the true owners of a business.

But doesn’t Trump hate China?

Obviously he’s extremely succeptable to bribery/flattery etc so he could easily “art of the deal” Taiwan off to China.

Personally I feel like he’s definitely having a vindictive king renaissance so I’m expecting a lot of inflexible decisions made entirely on impulse - because that’s exactly what the people want.

Don’t know if I see him going to war with China as getting bribed is better than fighting and potentially losing. Plus, fighting implies you don’t have enough power/influence to win without fighting and Trump is all about projecting power.

If he does want war, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an American foreign legion formed out of the 20 million immigrants he wants to deport

Hate to break it to ya, but believing things that are easily, verifiably, false because you prefer the narrative is very “IN” right now.

We left confirmation bias in the rear view mirror and are now actively embracing reality speculation where anything can be true/false if more than one person/bot agrees with it.

“All white ppl look the same!”

-NK, probably

Still a tough line to toe.

South Korea can undoubtedly roll North Korea. But North Korea + China + Ruzzia is much harder to contend with.

NK is benefitting from actively trading with first world economies in a meaningful way and will likely be heavily updating their military and spycraft capabilities.

This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.

Ignoring all politics, logistically this war is a rounding error in the Pentagon’s budget. America can and often does absolutely anything it wants to anyone at any point in time - and the only thing stopping it is how it feels about a subject at any given moment.

Israel is tiny and surrounded by enemies who they are pissing off.

For the record I am entirely opposed to Israel committing genocide and America funding it.
