    found another dufus. the only people cheering are the “fuck Trudeau” camp who are too daft to realize that we’ll get much worse instead or who know this and want it.

    the world slides further away from progress.

      I’m not Canadian but fuck Trudeau and the liberal party for campaigning on replacing First-past-the-post voting and then shrugging his shoulders and doing jack shit when the election was over.

      We really are more alike then we like to admit. Just the same humans in a different location.

      Here is a video on the history of council housing in the UK. Seems like yall need to share it with each other up north der (us too, thanks).

      Peace.

      So the guy who wears blackface and encourages the poor to kill themselves was a good leader for Canada?

        Wasn’t the blackface thing decades ago?

        Still problematic sure but extremely disingenuous to present it in the present tense as if it’s happening right now (unless there’s something I don’t know).

          True, the whole “Kill the poor and pretend its medicine.” thing though… that’s much worse.

          No really they made a whole commercial trying to glamorize it and everything.

            Well it’s mostly that at least a certain group with disabilities has access to a way out when life is too harsh. It is to limit unneeded suffering. A respectful way to end one’s life should be available to everyone, but that is a hard pill to swallow for many neurotypical / religious people. So it gets limited to a certain group, and then they use that compromise as an argument…

            You don’t decide whether you are born, at least let us have more control over our own death. In a progression of our human civilization, this should count for everyone.

            Framing this in a bad way is exactly what some conservative politicians and media want.
