I can't take credit for that one. I heard the Rich Dad Poor Dad guy call California the Communist Republic of California so I just applied it to Canada.

Canada is really nice. I like living here. I don't even mind that the majority of people are more liberal and collectivist than I am. But since trudeau got elected the country has turned much more authoritarian with Trudeau lecturing other nations on democracy meanwhile he censors his citizens, shuts down their bank accounts, labels everyone a racist and every other ist in the book if they disagree with him. The scariest part for me is most of the population agrees with his tactics. Only now he is becoming unpopular but mostly because of inflation and the economy, not because he acts like a wannabe despot. I worry we will sleepwalk into becoming another Venezuela. Every job report, new gov jobs eclipse what is being created by the private sector. Public Unions have so much power in the political discourse and they vote in a block for more benefits to them. As employment by the government continues to grow, this voting block will be too strong to overcome and they will just vote themselves everything.

It's concerning to me. Which is why we will maintain our home here. I am very lucky we live in a beautiful ski resort town (I am not in a rush to leave) but I want another option if Trudeau gets re-elected. 3/4 of our household have US citizenship so I would be the only problem if we wanted to relocate to US. Haha
