    When comparing 2 countries you can’t just focus on “Politics”.

    I don’t.

    Yes the right wing political influence is bad. It is a present threat and it comes from america

    Now that I totally disagree with.
    Of course influence from the US is never good but Canadians have ample racism and fascism all by their own doing.
    Not in the least by the Ukrainian influence.

    They didn’t allow right wing rhetorician who would inevitably make things worse to seize power. In fact he didn’t even win his own seat during the last election.

    Plenty other politicians from your parties have shown awfully racist behavior.

    Also they still support and even arm israeli genociders, help the US and other regimes in war crimes, etc…
    Not to mention the eternal racism against natives.

    Obviously compared to the US Canada is less bad, still it’s despicable and unacceptable in many ways and you portraying it favorably is a lot of wishfull thinking at best, if not delusional.

    Maybe you’re Canadian and have no frame of reference except the shithole taht is the US.

      I can’t seem to find a place where we disagree. You seem to want to bloviate on about how canada is complicit in global death and destruction and suffering. These facts are undeniable.

      My point is and always has been, that canada is not as bad as the us. Literally not that canada is good, which you seem to be misconstruing it as. So either argue for canada being worse than the us, or lets agree to agree and fuck off.
