This can't happen on the same continent! Canada and Germany are breaking down like twins. Go woke, go broke!

It's a shithole now. Made another weird experience at the local admin where they made a scandal that I came 1 day late to announce a change of my address that I still have in this commie paradise but will drop asap

It starts in 2017. Can any of our resident Canadians explain the timing of Canada's decline?

Honestly, I have zero confidence in any politician to "fix" anything anymore. I drank the "if my team wins things will get better" kool aid for too long. @siggy47 and I talked about this before as well.
While I would much prefer Pierre Poilievre to Trudeau and think he will be less of a drag on the country than Trudeau, I don't expect him to be able to fix anything and even if he did fix a few things they will just get broken the next election cycle when he gets voted out for someone who promises people more "free" stuff. It's exhausting. Opt out buy bitcoin I say.

I think a similar issue exists in many western countries, it deeply saddens me to say it in the UK given how many died in the killing fields of europe in WW2, but I increasingly feel despondent at the thought of voting at all ,for any of these idiots ... And our respective countries continue onwards with their 'managed decline'...

"Inevitable. Real estate house of cards and mass immigration has been propping up Canada for a decade now while productivity, business conditions, cost of living, regulation, gov interference all got worse."
Yes all has been exacerbated under Trudeau but the mess did start before him. He just threw a truckload's worth of kerosene on the fire.

Interesting how they are accelerating the migration debacle now to destroy the rest of the middle class soon.

Canada, like many countries, is a ponzi scheme that needs to attract fresh blood to pay for all the free™ promises made by decades of incompetent sociopaths. It is the perfect example of a kakistocracy.

Nothing lasts forever, Germany has been doing things too badly for a long time, until recently it was the first European economy, I don't think it will continue to be so at the present.
