Not even close

There isn't a Province in Canada that can simply ban abortions, or alter their universal healthcare system in a way that doesn't offer care to all eligible citizens (not counting QC), etc.

Canadian Provinces are much more "on the same page" when it comes to falling in line with what is considered customary on the Federal level.

The States is completely different.

It's on its way though. It's so funny how all these fucking idiots want to emulate the US up here and watch the clusterfuck that it is. Motherfuckers up here talking about the second amendment like, my brother in Christ we don't have that here.
You've got a guy who runs over people when he's blackout drunk running one province, an absolute Alex jones level nutjob running another, a crack dealer running another. We are absolutely morons here and it's heading that way.

OK I'm gonna take a swipe at my Canadian premiers knowledge to see whether I am getting these right:

Guy running over people when he is drunk
BC - Gordon Campbell
NS - Iain Rankin
MB - Wab Kinew

Alex Jones nutjob
AB - Danielle Smith
QC - François Legault

Crack Dealer
ON - Rob Ford?

All of these still pale in comparison to insurrection and sexual assaults though.

[edit] And for the record, my current impressions of Wab Kinew is pretty positive. He seems like he has learned and grown from his mistakes. But I still think he is gonna blow the Manitoba budget to the stratosphere.

The running over people drunk is Scott Moe. I don't think legault is that crazy is he? Just xenophobic. Bang on for Danielle smith and Doug ford though. Rob is the crack smoker, Doug is the dealer lol.
Agreed not nearly on the same field as trump, but it's definitely snowballing.

I fully expect USSC to overturn Colorado's decision.
You say that, but that same supreme court refused to hear any of Trump's "Election challenge" cases in 2021. People were so sure they were going to hear the cases, rule in his favour, and reinstate him as president. I don't think they actually give a shit about trump himself, he was a means to an end. Mitch McConnell was the true power in bending Trump's ear in choosing who was to be appointed.

What a clown ... but then he worked for one.

Rudy Giuliani files for bankruptcy after $148m defamation verdict


Rudy Giuliani, a longtime associate of former President Donald Trump, has filed for bankruptcy just days after he was ordered to pay $148m (£116m) in a defamation case.

He was ordered to pay the sum after a judge found he defamed two Georgia election workers over false claims they tampered with votes in 2020.

The filing shows he owes millions of dollars in legal fees and unpaid taxes.

A spokesman said the move should "be a surprise to no-one".

Realistically, I don't think the (personal) bankruptcy will affect him too much though. At best, it will only be a matter of inconvenience to him. Whatever assets he had would likely have already been transferred to his children, someone he trusts, or whatever protected corporate accounts where he would still call the shots from behind the veil.

It is a major point of embarrassment for him, but then he may or may not care.

Bankruptcy doesn't work the same for the rich and privileged such as him, as it does for plebs like the commoner.

He'll Alex Jones slow walk that money until the day he dies (which hopefully won't be very long given his heart issues).

Joe Rogan the ass clown makes fun of Biden for saying something really stupid but then gets fact checked and finds out trump said it.

I see the blinded hate is still strong here. Years later, lots to still point at and blame 'them' for not being decent people. Gotta love the hypocrisy. Do you hate the liberal inflation?

Similar to their murder rate - because you can't be broke if you're dead. Hey - Canada's murder rate is at a 30 year high since you mention it. Funny how virtue signaling doesn't sove any problems but is all talk. Back to your Trump hate...go on....love to hate...

This was the highest homicide rate since 1992, according to the agency.

Across Canada, a total of 874 people were killed in 2022, which was an almost nine per cent increase compared to the previous year.

“Despite recent increases, homicides remain a rare event in Canada, accounting for less than 0.2 per cent of all police-reported violent crimes in 2022,” StatCan said in its report.
You also missed the whole point of my post.

It's hilarious (but kind of scary) that there are Canadians like this. Simping for Trump in 2023. Jesus fucking christ.

Why not just let America shit themselves to death? Why bring that to your own country?

He didn't miss it, it's just 100% textbook deflection when you have nothing intelligent to answer with.

Literally the entire world with a gamut of governments all struggling with inflation, but yes this is all entirely the fault of all liburals everywhere.

But but murder rate! Immigration! Abortions!

It's hard to take this woman seriously, and yet she's the one moderates are saying should get the nod.

In a weird way, I'd take Trump's corrupt ass over hers, at least you know where he stands.

Only the Republican party would even allow such an obvious grifter to remain within their ranks. She's a con-artist, larping around as this weird MAGA Patriot Mom.

Zebra, this is why people can't take Republican voters seriously, this type of idiocy simply wouldn't fly in another party.
