They often make their money from local taxes
thats still taxpayer money?
They also had new feminist period art installed in subway stations

Well yeah
But the point here is that you cant really say 'The federal government is wasting money'
Better example. Just look at the administration of Universities.
Pretend tuition is taxes.
Not quite a whole state, but I think it's what they idealize.
@Deleted User Why do they have jam coming from their undies wtf
suppose to go on your toast
Government officials in Sweden fund their parties with tax money too

pls answer question
There are places in the US that do this. It always ends up in the hands of incumbents somehow.
It's a fucked up government
But it hasn't gone full social justice yet
Canada is pretty close too
I dunno about that.
Trudeau can be a goon, but overall i really dont feel our government has gone SJW.
That's why I said *close*
To be clear
Canada will probably become more right wing next election.
I kinda hope not. Im really not a fan of SJW like shit, and some of Trudeaus antics, but im even less of a fan of the conservative party here.
I got this weird feeling a reaction to Trudeau is building behind the scenes.
Trudeau is a Social Justice PM and he's moved policy in that direction. ("feminist budgets" and things like denying funding to pro-life groups for summer programs being key examples)
But it's being met with growing resistance.
He has, but as far as ive seen its almost all been very token
Hence why im still just very meh on him.
Man i miss Jack Layton
NDP is electing shitty leaders, Conservatives are pretty shit right now, and the liberals are Trudeau
I just find myself really not being a fan of anybody
It's a less extreme version of how i feel about US politics
I think that's the new normal for everybody at some level.
Furthermore, coalitions shift.
In the US we are in the middle of a very big shift right now.
Once the Democrats come to power and fracture, the shift will be complete.
They can't hold their current divisions entirely.
Or if they do, it would be one **** of an act. Social Justice being the likely glue.
In which social justice would only get more extreme.
The only party we have that is consistently against increasing surveilence powers/compromising what 'free speech' rights we have, is the NDP, but they've seemingly been taken in by the SJW shit thats going around, despite having been mostly above it historically (At least in terms of race/gender/etc)
Though probably not as bad as the liberals with Trudeau
Liberals have seemed really willing to compromise those rights along with the Conservatives
