More than half of Americans (52%) say they and their family are worse off today than they were four years ago |
My question to this would be, why does the comparison always have to come back to the US?
Everyone spends all their time just shitting on the US but when it’s convenient for arguments sake it’s always used as this direct comparison to Canada.
Socially and for a lot of govt. aspects we probably align closer to most Scandinavian countries than we do with the states.
Without the Turd colored glasses on, unless your some person worth 10’s of millions of dollars, Canada is far worse off now than it was in 2015. By the vast majority of measurable metrics, which, ironically, was largely the liberals platform back then. To improve those very things.
Canada is this fucking enigma where every single thing we try to fix is always left in this open ended state where no one can say whether something was a success or not. Anyone in systems analysis, process improvement, etc. understands that in order to validate your work, you need to be able to measure the outcome.
We just throw money at shit and have no way to measure the results. It’s constant. Whether it’s housing, or healthcare, or those “unmarked graves” Jason is on about. You were provided all this money to do something, you did it completely half ass, and when anyone questions whether this worked out or not, it’s racist, or biggoted, or isn’t professing reconciliation, or whatever fucking excuse you want to use lol.. then people are forced to wipe their hands of it and it just goes away like it always does
