If you’re serious, start looking for companies hiring up here. As I understand it’s not easy, even for economic class immigrants, but I work in tech and I work with many immigrants (albeit not usually from the US, but it’s a different world now). Mind you - please look carefully into the financial impacts as it is a change from the US. Salaries are lower and taxes generally higher, which may or may not be offset in your context in other ways (healthcare a big one, income tax deductions, etc.) But many people, myself included, prefer Canada regardless of the reduced compensation. It’s not always about money.

I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …

I get it, immigration takes time and some of them may not have the skills or the means to do it, or to do it quickly…HOWEVER, in the meantime, if they have no allegiance to this country, they should show some dignity by refraining from voting and refraining from doing everything they can to screw up the country for the people who actually DO care about it.

Not really clear where your position is, but I will make my position clear: We all see where right wing populism ends up just by looking south of us. It’s a disaster. Copying that in this moment is outright idiocy. Picking the right wing populist who has never been on the right side of an issue and who mimics the exact policy beats of the Republicans is a surefire way to go down the same path. We need to tell the Conservatives to drop their culture war crazies, stop fighting against experts, stop trying to remove rights from people, and focus on real solutions to real problems.

Yeah this is the thing that really makes me hope for the demise of the current crop of Conservatives. I want a party that can offer an alternative vision to the Liberals, who can offer hope for the working class or those falling through the cracks of Liberal policies (to the extent that Conservatives do that, which is another matter). But I wish they didn’t have to give a bunch of people hope at the cost of removing rights from others, or dismantling government protections for all of us. It makes the people they’re helping feel like hating on minorities is just the price they need to pay for government support. The Conservatives are taking advantage of the poor situation of these people, and their desperation, to ram through regressive social policy. It’s devious and dangerous, and I hope they get permanently removed from the political discussion.

Yeah fuck these treasonous Yank sympathizers.

Note to all these people: If you are staying in this country but you don’t have any allegiance to it, at least have some fucking dignity and don’t vote to fuck it all up for the rest of us.

Why ask this question to anyone younger than 30? Of course an 18yo will feel less safe now than 10 years ago…when they were fucking EIGHT and playing Nintendo 3DS in their parents basement.

I feel like the age ranges need to be different for this question, and to do otherwise is almost trying to further the narrative of conservative youth.

The reason I asked is because I feel that you are blaming social democracy and I think you are painting with too broad a brush. Capital should serve the state, the people, not the other way around. Social democracy is in part about strong regulations on capital. We need to stand by that and support it. Throwing it away cedes power to capital.

The framework that is built from the oppression of women, and the challenges that arise from that, does not represent the lived experiences, challenges, or values of men. All too often it diminishes these. To move forward in a spirit of mutual understanding requires a recognition of what matters to men; i.e., what provides purpose and value.

I feel that you may be misunderstanding me. This is exactly about tolerance and acceptance - including acceptance that men and women have different lived experiences that are founded on different fundamental principles of what is important and what provides purpose. Is it really so difficult to accept that men might find purpose or value that differs from women? I don’t believe there is harm in acknowledging that, and respecting a healthy understanding of that difference.

What do you believe is the most important issue facing Canada, and how do you feel that Jordan Peterson and people like him are helping conservatives to address this issue?

Peterson is the godfather of woke and DEI obsession. Every time Poilievre says woke, he cements the demise of the CPC. Explain to me just why the fuck any of you care about this nonsense. What does it matter? It has nothing to do with you. If you don’t want to change genders, don’t do it. The more these stupid issues are brought to the fore, the more the CPC looks like the party of Trump.

The right wing needs to drop these types of people from their team. This is a cancer on conservatism that will only destroy them and everything they claim to protect. As we can see right now in the US.

We desperately need reasonable conservatives.
